Chevy performance lovers have a reason to grin: The iconic brand said Thursday it next year will bring to the United States a new V-8 rear-wheel-drive performance sedan.
It marks the first time in 17 years Chevy has offered its U.S. buyers a V-8 rear-wheel-drive sedan.
The public will get a glimpse of the car at some point before its debut at the Daytona 500 in February. That's where General Motors Co. will race it as its next NASCAR Sprint Cup entry, replacing the Impala.
"Since the Caprice went away in 1996, there have been enthusiasts clamoring for us to bring back a rear-wheel-drive V-8 sedan to the Chevrolet lineup," said Monte Doran, a Chevrolet spokesman.
The SS or Super Sport package is based on the next-generation Holden Commodore, produced by GM in Australia.
