General Motors has launched the 2014 Chevrolet SS sports sedan in the United States, just a few days after the original Holden Commodore SS V debuted in Australia. The external difference between the two is pretty much just the badge on the grille, and the U.S. model will also be sourced from Australia.
General Motors’ Australian arm, Holden, has taken the wraps off their sporty new Commodore SS V model, after revealing the facelifted Commodore range earlier this week. The Commodore SS is expected to become the 2014 Chevrolet SS Sports Sedan model that is headed to the United States with a “bowtie” badge on the grille.

Built by General Motors’ Australian division, the Holden Commodore has finally received a redesign for 2013. For those not in the know, the Commodore is the rear-wheel-drive midsize sedan that formed the basis for the Chevrolet Lumina models in the Middle East, right until 2011, when the car was quietly discontinued here in favour of pushing the front-wheel-drive Chevy Malibu as their new midsize offering in the GCC.
These photos, showing what looks like the production version of the 2014 Toyota Corolla, are doing the the rounds of the internet, but with no one quoting the source, it’s hard to determine where these were taken.
It may seem odd that we’re giving the new 2014 Toyota Tundra any attention, considering it’s not even officially offered in the Middle East. But the Tundra has a sizeable fan following in certain parts of the GCC, including the UAE, where there is a thriving grey-import market for these trucks for no apparent reason.
In another one of those pre-debut internet “leaks”, photos of the 2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo are out in the open, well before its actual debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show soon. However, BMW has quickly released full details on the car now.
Ford Middle East, in partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Road & Transport Authority, is conducting the Ford Driving Skills for Life programme in the UAE. It is the first time that it is being held in the GCC.
