    one of the coolest cars of the current era. A beast of a 4 door saloon sleeper. The Australians know how to do it

      kyle de man HJ for the win! I've got a HJ deluxe 253, great car! still going strong! you may have read about another HJ or HX doing over 1mil kms and he claims its the only one to have done so, i call bullshit on that! mine has done 1mil kms and hasn't required any replacement parts. the other guy has replaced the gearbox 3 times and has gone through some engines as well. just thought you would like to know? This is proof that V8's last longer lol.

    The 2014 Chevy SS is a powerful sports sedan that drives like a dream. It's basically a four-door Corvette with an LS3 engine that produces 415 hp, getting you to 60 mph in under five seconds. The drive train gets the power to the road instantly, with no time wasted on burnout. And the handling is astounding. You can take a sharp curve at pretty much any speed you like. The car just grips the road and rolls through it with ease. The technology inside the car is equally exciting. This Chevy SS is just flat-out fun to drive, whether you're pushing it to its limits, or just cruising to work. This is one of the two best cars I've ever had. The other is the earlier version, the Pontiac G8 GXP.

    Thank you for acknowledging the car's Australian roots (Holden), some people find it hard to do that.

  • @TheMangasm
    @TheMangasm 11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    @carwhiz90 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @frankth3frizz 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @CaliGhost
    @CaliGhost 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    i just bought this car last week and can honestly say the ONLY downside is the fuel economy, but only because the sound of the engine in high revs is soooooo fucking nice its kinda hard for any car lover to not appreciate it and stomp on the gas, haha. best investment ever. the torque is just unreal in this car

    • @CaliGhost
      @CaliGhost 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      In california gas is around $3.90 -$4.15 per gallon, which is ridiculous!!!!! 20 gallon tank translates to $70-75 for a full tank. highway average is usually 75mph+ usually 80. I dont even have 500 miles on it yet but i already know im keeping this car till i die.

    • @CaliGhost
      @CaliGhost 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ohh i got the 2015 not 2014, almost the same but GM magnetic ride control is installed which is pretty cool and nice touch for stiiffer suspension modes. i dont understad why general motors DIDN'T make the seats all leather as apposed to half suede and half leather

    I've always enjoyed your videos and the fact you focus on demonstrating the subject vehicle and allowing your viewers to come to their own conclusions on what is seen. Its a rarity among automotive reviewers.

  • @ImpossiblyBlack
    @ImpossiblyBlack 11 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    All that polished trim really brings down the interior quality.

    • @EvanChasee
      @EvanChasee 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Disagree.

    • @EvanChasee
      @EvanChasee 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really shows how behind you are. All the manufacturers here have really stepped it up.

    • @ImpossiblyBlack
      @ImpossiblyBlack 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      *****
      Don't get me wrong the car looks great inside and out and GM has made HUGE strides in improving their products. It's just that I'm not a fan of the shiny trim pieces because it looks like, and probably is, cheap plastic. I think the Pontiac G8 was a much better looking car.

    • @EvanChasee
      @EvanChasee 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Impossibly Black the g8 was so sexy!

  • @nezerac
    @nezerac 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As per usual. Excellent in depth look Kyle. One thing I'd like to clarify for future reference is the "UTE'' is actually what Aussies call the car/truck hybrid (ie El Camino, Ford Ranchero, Brat, etc). It's pronounced "yoot" . Took me a minute to get that until I worked with a Australian who kept tossing it out there until I eventually said "The hell is a 'ute' ''. lmao!

      It's got a decent amount of horsepower.

    • @NickkAtNyte
      @NickkAtNyte 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CPBlackopsMW3 More horsepower doesn't necessarily mean it's faster. The new Caprice PPV has around 400 hp, while the Taraus PPV EcoBoost has around 330 hp. Meanwhile, the Taraus is faster than the Caprice. The EcoBoost has 2 turbos and is AWD, and the Caprice is naturally aspirated and only RWD. HP doesn't always mean faster.

  • @batmanxgr
    @batmanxgr 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kyle, great walk around as usual. The chevy ss is great sleeper car. Hennessy and other after market companies already have kits and mods that push this beast into the 500hp easy. When you read the performance info. This car can take on Lexus ISF, Ford SHO and Dodge Charger RT in real world freeway/highway (cough) driving. And that's before tuning.
    For the comment on cheap interior, the interior feels very premium compared to two of the cars i mention above. And maybe the lexus as well, only due to the slightly outdated interior design of the ISF.
    Love this car. It's a real man car. 2015 Only comes one way with three options. In 2014, the car came with two options. No packages. We men are simple creatures and this car reflects that.

    I'm starting to see a lot more of these around. It's too bad they are closing the Holden plant. These seem to be extremely under appreciated and deserve much more attention. I know it's Holden Based but for some reason it reminds me a lot of the 94-96 Impala SS in some ways!

  • @davidrua1990
    @davidrua1990 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Lol at complaining about a $45k price, we'd be lucky to get the V6 model with all these options for under $50k in Australia. You guys really are dumb, you've all been asking for our v8 4 door Falcons and Commodores for years and you get them and don't like them at all. Smh.

    • @watchdogs295
      @watchdogs295 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it had more to do with advertising and actually letting people know it exists/making it look cool by putting it in movies/music videos ect.. if people didn’t want cars like this then the charger wouldn’t sell as well as it does

      achuck4321 This car does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds sits on a Camaro chassis with brembo brakes.theres no option list for it other than colors its fully loaded.for petes sake it parks its self what the hell is your definition of nicer.ahh lemme guess probably a 5 series cock mobile with 220 hp at $45,000 and at that price a german is a base model.

    • @devinkenney4
      @devinkenney4 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a Camaro, a Holden VF Commodor .

    • @RedPolarBearRanger
      @RedPolarBearRanger 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Devin Kenney the Camaro rides on the same platform as the VE Commodore/Pontiac G8, VF Commodore/SS, WM/WN Caprice/Caprice PPV due to it being engineered by Holden themselves so the mechanics would be compatible with the Camaro due to being built on the Zeta platform.

    I had a 2015 SS with the spare and moon roof. I owned it for 9 months. It was my daily car and absolutely loved it until the second/third month after someone hit me. After that the magic faded knowing it’s not a clean car fax and I had to sell it.(driving 80 miles one way to work in the beast wasn’t going to happen)
    If you have a chance to buy one, don’t pass it up. It’s a great vehicle.

  • @Rtvoll
    @Rtvoll 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So many people in the comments apparently don't understand that GM estimates they will only sell about 3000. Therefore they don't want to waste money giving it extra powertrains if it fails. I read somewhere that if it does sell more then 3000 they will add more power trains and possibly a manual.

    • @SamnissArandeen
      @SamnissArandeen 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      They WOULD sell thousands upon thousands of them if they had a manual. Them saying they will only sell the thing that will get thousands to sell if they sell thousands is just fucking fucked the fuck up. Insert confused Jackie Chan meme here.

      FLABEX224 And everywhere else in the world saloon means bar or tavern.

    • @MrChevypower
      @MrChevypower 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Are you talking about the HFV6? I was talking about the LS V8. I don't think GM is going to sell the V6 in the US. Technically, there is no Holden engine or Chevy engine anyway. It's all GM Power Train these days. They say "Chevy small block" for nostalgia.

      @lachlanharvey1428 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the VF commodore was made and released in in mid 2014, so they can't just change it.

    Awesome review, very detailed. The only thing missing was a track test. Thank you so much for showing the 90s impala. Its still a much desired, last of muscle car era car. I still think they should've made an ss impala. And what is up with the incomplete rear end on these chevy? Again great job. Keep'em coming.

  • @Guitarplayer219
    @Guitarplayer219 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    • @mickeydee3595
      @mickeydee3595 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeap I can relate to it 100%, but manual transmissions are still being sort after here in Aus, but I would agree its on the decline.
      I bought a 2012 Jeep wrangler CRD manual.
      Found out the new 2016 dont offer the manual anymore and just Auto
