Well, well, well. What do you know? “Chevy” SS is no longer. Why does Detroit keep doing this and who thought a Holden would sell here? A Holden What the hell is that?

The Holden does very well in the Australian Super V8 racing series. Maybe they thought it would have some kind of carry over interest.

If you don't market a car, you cant expect to sell any. If you asked any random person looking for a car of that size, I would wager they had no clue it existed.

I read about it just now. 10 Cars That Are Being Discontinued After 2015 – Insider Car News

Add Durango to the mix. Now that is a head scratcher. It is a long list. Let me see

Saturn/Opel
Buick-Opel
Opel GT
Ford Capri
Merkur

and a bunch more I don’t remember. Now Fiat has rediscovered the formula and thinks its gotta a winner on its hand. How long before the Dart bites the dust too. What was that? Alfa?

The SS has not been discontinued... in fact, it received a manual transmission for the 2015 MY. Nothing has been announced by GM or any of the legitimate industry websites / blogs.

2015 SS: Sports Sedan | Chevrolet

The SS as we know it today will eventually come to an end when Holden is shuttered, but that doesn't mean something else cannot live on under GM's Alpha platform.

It's nice that GM tries to market the performance oriented Holdens here but the problem is that the styling of the SS, like the GTO, is bland and doesn't stand out as a performance car. It's worse with the SS as Chevy doesn't advertise them, the automotive press can't seem to find the time for them, and nobody really seems to be much of a fanboy.
