> [@Joe](#): > > I don’t get why they go so bland on the USDM styling compared to the Aussie stuff. Then again, the Aussie ones also sticker $20k higher after the exchange rate. Because faggots would cry if they made them better but cost more. Just like all the faggots who cried the GTO was in the 30’s saying it should have been in the mid 20’s. ---

Fair enough. GTO had a better interior than a Vette at the time yet people expected F-body pricing. ---

I’m guessing they will ramp up the styling or make a more aggressive looking model after a few years. ---

Does anyone know what these are actually selling out the door for? I was just quoted 53k for a new S4.

They haven’t come off of the price much at all because the base car is loaded. There are only 2 options you can get with the car. A sunroof, and a full size spare. If they offered a cloth interior and some lesser things such as audio, or climate control, I could see one of them being around $37-$39k. As it sits right now you can pick one up for $43720 including destination.

FGGT, for that price buy a CPO CTS-V and enjoy blown pushrod goodness under warranty until 70k 🙂 ---

Prediction: They’ll probably sell terribly with no manual option available. GM will think it’s a flop and instead of releasing a manual version (which would boost sales), they will just kill the project. ---

You’re probably right, considering this - Holden announced on 11 December 2013 that production in Australia would cease by the end of 2017.[SUP][[2]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden#cite_note-2)[/SUP] They will also close the Lang Lang Proving Ground, and reduce the staffing of their product development centre substantially.[SUP][[3]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden#cite_note-3)[/SUP] In the last few years, Holden incurred losses due to the strong [Australian dollar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_dollar), with government grants being reduced in future.[SUP][[4]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden#cite_note-4)[/SUP] This all seems doomed now from the get-go. ---

I’ll be honest and old here. I don’t really desire a manual trans daily anymore as long as I have one as a summer car. Which is funny because I believe in this thread I said otherwise at one point haha [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2014-chevrolet-ss/228777.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2014-chevrolet-ss/228777.md?page=5)
