Put no effort into marketing or advertising, can't sell what the general public really don't know anything about. It's not a Silverado, doesn't appeal to the kiddies & their wifi hot spot to text & drive (who can drive a performance car when it takes your attention away from their phone?) They never put anything into it other than using it's likeness in NASCAR. Anyways, why steal sales from the other performance models?
G8 GXP; 6.2L; T6060 double overdrive; snap-ins for three car seats in the back. Can't do that in a Corvette. Thanks, Holden!
They basically produced these is the same #'s that the SS Fastback's were produced and for the same purpose. Just enough to get it into NASCAR. Difference is the Monte Carlo sold well and and was produced in high #'s overall. Running the Monte in NASCAR made sense because it made the advertising you're already paying for worthwhile. What was the point of being is NASCAR but running a model you don't intend to sell to people?
Not to mention I was just strolling the dealer lot tonight and don't you know they have a Black SS in stock. Window sticker $49,000. For a car that has no distinct look about it. Meanwhile I'm surrounded by a sea of Camaro's, Colorado's, Silverado's, and for not much more the 49k, entry level Stingray Corvette that are all bad *ss. If I was really hung up on GM Cars Cadillac has some nice options too.

That's what caught my eye when I looked in the window. The seller told me I was the only one who knew what the car really was. Everyone else said, 'meh, it's an overpriced G8'. The local cops have two Caprices. I need to step over to the PD and see whether they might sell them to the public when they are done with them. Would be a nice organ donor for the coupe...
I like the G8s more aggressive front end, but it's a lot of crevices to wash and dry!. The new GTOs were a learnng opportunity for Pontiac.
EVERYONE around here with an SS has replaced all of the Chevy badging with Holden badging. Its like somebody shipped over a few containers of leftover Holden parts they bought for cheap when the factory closed.
