Can I ask what you paid?  They seem to be really dealing on the 2015s around here right now.  So tempting.

They are always dealing on GM....its a car for the masses...generic..looks and feels like a malibu lol...dont care if its 50k it still is infused with GM' philosophy....my sho is the same way so dont be offended

If you're not already aware....

Double tap the traction control button to put the car in "Track Mode"
Thanks ! Didn't know that. Barely exploring all the features.  Magnetic ride feels awesome especially on performance mode.

Track mode changes your suspension and steering to performance as well as make your throttle a lot more responsive.

Your traction control is 90% off in "Track Mode"...If you hold the traction control button for 3-5 seconds, all nanny systems will be turned 100% off.

Also, you'll need to go into your "tone" radio function and switch on the "Centerpoint" option which will optimize the sound of the Bose system and utilize the center channel. You'll need to do that in every listening mode...it doesn't make the change universally (example; ipod, radio, satellite, CD, etc.).
Wow ... more great info . Thanks !

Around here the market for SS's & G8's is sky high and they sell too.

Around here the market for SS's & G8's is sky high and they sell too.

Also, Chevy is importing this vehicle so their profit margin is not as much. This is why they have zero marketing dollars put into the SS...They're trying to make or recoup as much money as possible on a low volume niche vehicle. I got mine for $40K last July, but I had GM credit card points to throw at it.

You should see the 15 Camaro Z/28...The thing stickers at 76K and I've seen them on sale here in WI for $56K. I laugh every time a salesman tells me they're not making any money on the deal

It does look pretty sharp. And I've never been a big fan of Chevy products.

Even with a father-in-law who works for Chevy.

Nice acquistion.

I test drove a 15 this winter. They are nice but what stopped me was that the interior just didn't feel as nice as my sho. I also tested the auto parking and it got alarmingly close enough to side swipe my sho i stomped on the brakes. Ill wait till they get in the 20k range.

There really has been no advertising in my area for this car, and I can't say I have seen one on the road.. Not a gm fan, they just don't do it for me.
