Holden has recently announced that the Commodore will be returning to North American showrooms towards the end of 2013 with the VF Commodore being sold as the Chevrolet SS performance sedan. It was also announced that the Chevrolet SS will be entered in the NASCAR Sprint Cup debuting at the Daytona 500.
GM President of North America Mark Reuss commented “I am delighted to say that Chevrolet will deliver a true rear-wheel-drive NASCAR race car in the SS that very closely links the performance sedan that will be available for sale,”.
GM Holden’s Executive Director of Engineering Greg Tyus explained that Chevrolet customers would benefit from Holden’s expertise in developing and manufacturing rear wheel drive vehicles.
“We were responsible for the design and engineering of the Chevrolet Camaro, VE Commodore was sold as the Pontiac G8 and we are currently exporting the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle – so we understand the needs of the North American market.” Mr. Tyus commented.
