GM may switch the Chevy SS to its rear-wheel drive Alpha platform in the sports sedan's next-generation. The same may be true of the Holden Commodore, which currently has an uncertain future.

GM is considering a new plan which would have the next-generation SS designed and built in the US. The car would be built on the Alpha platform that underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS, as well as the next-generation Chevy Camaro. Australia would receive the SS, rebadged as a Holden.

This plan, however, conflicts with a previous rumor, which suggested that GM may move the production of the SS and its Caprice PPV police car to North America on a Zeta II platform in 2015.

GM is probably considering multiple different plans right now for its non-luxury rear-drive sedans.

I think if gm wants to stay in the hunt for a true rear wheel performance sedan they should really really REALLY consider working to smooth the rough edges on the ss .A good start out the gate just stick it out in the stretch/street I am NOT talking about a Cadillac v series either too expensive!
