I bought something that I think should help clarify what kind of car I am driving to those who’ve never heard of it (all people).
I won’t be able to install it until I return from my trip to China, but since it’s 11/11, I figured I’d mention it. 11/11 is, for those who don’t know, the Chinese Black Friday... This is bound to mean something.
I was originally going to put a nice, chrome “Malibu” on the car, but I figured this would make more sense. I’m going to put it on the left side of the trunk, opposite the SS emblem. Finally, people will stop asking me what my car is.

I dunno, surely Vauxhall VXR8 would confuse people more.

I have two pieces of business
1) I like your car. It is a nice car.
2) Whatchu doin’ in China and what it got to do with SAIC?

Maybe a huge decal across the side of the car saying Chevrolet SS!

I did mine with the Holden badges. Nobody knows what a SSV is and the HSV Flag emblem confuses them too.

Make use of this Toyota website as well. You can get a free customized badge. Impalibu, impaled, illuminate. It can be ANY NAME

Does that actually say Impalabu in Chinese?

It says Shanghai General Motor. It’s GM’s local designation.

Looks awesome! Red is a great color for the car. I don’t want to do the Holden badges myself, I just have a different fantasy going in my head that I need to pursue.

Surely will make people think it’s a Chinese model car.
Pick up a one for me next time you go, thanks

That’s really cool! But what badge do they use to replace the Chevy badge? I thought the SS wasn’t marketed over there, but I know the Caprice is the Buick Park Avenue.

Thank you very much good sir. I have only seen one other red one, and it was next to mine when I got it. That is very cool that you want to do your own thing. You should go on the SS Forum or the group on Facebook. Keep us updated on what you do!

I can tell by the roof antenae that this is a 2015. Plus the black part on the rear bumper is glossy.

I will make the necessary changes to create the illusion of a 2014 model. Thanks for the feedback:)

I was super happy to get a white one, but I actually didn’t have a choice. I’m not into all the fancy colors they’ve come out with, but I’m sure they work better with Australian culture. Red would have been the only “color” I would have chosen. Mine was the only one with a stick in California that was available at the time.

It’s not marketed here. Also, assuming we’re talking about a Malibu or something, it will still say Malibu and have a bow tie on the back.

I hope I don’t confuse anyone!
Do those characters mean BMW?

1. Tks.
2. My company manufactures small transportation devices in China, currently nothing to do with SAIC.

My scooter was recently thieved from me, and I may be in the market for a small transportation device. Please, tell me of your products.

That’s awesome! I picked mine up as a leftover 2014 in Feb. There was another red without the sunroof. Both reds were on the lot for 13 months.... I wish I would have gotten a purple manual though. It’s such a rare and understated color.

You have to tell a story and upload a picture now??
Damn. SO glad I got “TAKURO” and “SPIRIT” when it was easier.
Now I just need to commit to an automobile to place them on.
