Lonestar Chevy in Houston has 3 *LOTS OF PICS*

Went by at lunch. Red, black, and silver. Took picks of red and silver. Black was not out, it had been sold.

Took picks of the mirror caps as that was an issue on a different post.

Sat in the silver and turned it on. Was hard not to leave without one.

Talked with their Internet Sales Manager, Marcus. He told me MSRP. No dealer markups.

Hey TexSS, Just buy one, will ya?? I am still waiting for any info on mine and when you guys actually get your cars it makes me feel better 'cause somebody is gettin happy!!!

 

[TexSS]

I want a green one. And I want a test drive. The two I saw today were inside or so blocked in they didn't want to mess with test drives.

Plus I was originally waiting until early next year before buying one to see if the 2015 MY is going to be significantly different.

Now, I need to pull in my finances if i want to buy one earlier. 1st world problems.

I scared to go look at them. I sold my V last December with the intent to wait till next summer before replacing it (paying daughters tuition off and had to rebuilt the motor in her Charger this summer) but if I go drive or even see one, I might not hold out. Getting tired of driving my 14 year old F250 SD everyday.

After looking at those pics I will hold off for 2015 until that rear seat 40/60 appears. USA models all have these features for a good reason and frankly I am not giving away space. Car looks great though.

Are you talking about a fold down seat? What makes you think they will change in 2015??

The seats don't fold it helps make the structure more rigid in the hipo versions. The CTSV is an example and also in the other CTS lineup that has sport driving equipment.

Don't know about the ATS platform that maybe the bases for the 2015 Camaro and possibility of SS sedan down the road. If the SS is not a big hit well you can say goodbye to that.
:happy:

All of the holden commodore sedans have a center hatch only. That's all they ever will have because of the crash performance criteria.

That makes complete sense. For side impact performance you can not have an empty box. You need structure. My wife's new (2013) Malibu only has a center pass through rear seat also. Our 2006 Impalas where a 40/60 complete fold down.

I love these pictures, they show some things we never got to see in some of the shots automotive media took.

The close up shot of the review view mirror seems to show paint with no orange peel, is it actually like that? would be great if our paint has little to no orange peel

The only way you would likely see a 60/40 split rear seat is if they were to add the Sportwagon (possible but highly unlikely )

Thanks for photos now I know how the caps can be changed out with no problems will see about new ones.

I special ordered a Mercedes sedan a few years ago and the split/folding rear seat was an option - about $500 IIRC. When I asked why, the sales guy said that the whole rear section of the car was reinforced...

Yeah, 40/60 in the SS, thats not gonna happen.

 

[Slizzo]

Trunk looks mighty familiar.

Guess no one will be doing this with their SS...
just picked up an 82" framed glass door last night at Home Depot

 

[TexSS]

No, I'll either use my truck or get them to deliver it.

i know, my wife has an SUV but they called me at work and said it came in and didn't want to wait.. thought it was funny, i didn't even have to take the stroller out of the trunk
