Again with the "lack of sales". There is more to this story than just saying the SS was a failure.
I'm no expert like Martin and his great insight.
But I do know of some things on this one:
1) The car was never going to continue on forever due to Holden shutting down.
2) The car was never meant to sell in large numbers and was more of an opportunity for GM to sell more of those imported units here in the U.S. where it then lacked a sports sedan due to the death of Pontiac
3) The car was never really advertised, and it only came fully loaded (again, going back to point 2 above)
The SS didn't sell great...no it didn't, but it was never really meant to either.
P.S. A part of me wishes I had accepted the "fancy Malibu" looks and slight performance hit compared to my Camaro SS and picked one up during the 20% off sales on the SS. They are worth that much or more today.
