The showcar was equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, but both the SS V and the Chevy SS are likely to be offered with an automatic transmission as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sales of the new Holden Commodore will begin in Australia during the second half of the year.</div>
