I have seen three of them so far. One black, one red, and one silver one. Two by older men and the red one by an older women.

Chevy’s only rear-wheel drive four door sedan, the SS, will be receiving several upgrades for the 2015 model year to compete with the likes of the Dodge Charger and…well, pretty much just the Dodge Charger.
Performance enhancements include the addition of Magnetic Ride control as a standard feature, as well as rear Brembo brakes to complement the already standard front Brembos. Optional for 2015 is a six-speed manual transmission that should have driving enthusiasts (us included) excited. Also optional for the coming year will be OnStar’s 4G LTE connectivity with a built in Wi-Fi hot spot so you can upload your burnout videos to Facebook straight from your car.
2014 Chevrolet SS review notesCAR REVIEWS 2014 Chevrolet SS review notesEDITOR WES RAYNAL: I have no idea if the new 2014 Chevrolet SS is a good car. I can't tell exactly how fast it is, how it handles, or how good the brakes are. Why not? Because Detroit got a couple ...
Power will still be dished out from Chevy’s 6.2-liter LS3 V8, making 415 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. Automatic versions of the SS accelerate to 60 within 5 seconds, and Chevrolet claims that the more aggressive axle ratio (3.70) used with manual transmission models will make for even quicker times.
Five exterior colors have been added for 2015 including two different greens (Regal Peacock and Jungle Green), as well as blue, red and purple options so you can stand out from crowd.
With no release date as of yet, expect the Australian-made 2015 Chevy SS to arrive sometime later this year.

The addition of the manual and the colors is actually very smart.
Id be surprised if the Dodge ever offered the Charger in a manual. Even if the Hellcat becomes a production reality for it (its testing)....the reviews on the 8spd auto in the hellcat challenger have been getting hugely rave reviews.
So, this gives them a bit of a leg up...lets see if those legs can walk.

Good to see it offered in a manual but I'd probably rather have a paddle shifted 8 speed. The car might as well go out with a bang, it'll probably be a rare option and collectible since there's no way they're making the car past 2017 when Australian production stops.

The reviews I have read regarding Dodge's 8spd in the hellcat are that its so good they tried just leaving it in full auto and it knew it exactly what to do, no gear searching, no waiting for downshifts, no lag...Just performance.

I think the SS always offered manual as an option.
Not that it matters. I've only seen enough of them to count on one hand.
