Same for Caprice and Malibu, but Bill already said Malibu.
Not sure that is the same as this. In your examples the impala and chevelle were new terms/names applied to cars with established names. This car has no name. And SS is a well documented performance/option package moniker. SS has been used for over 50 years and has always been a suffix – Impala SS, Camaro SS, etc.

The 2014 SS. Sounds odd to me no matter how you slice it. Honestly sounds like they ran out of ideas and just said **** it.
