Chrome , Why GM feels a need to just place it anywhere and in odd random places ?
No twin turbo V6 , They have it and refused to use it on their most popular sports car .
And that God awful Gold bowtie ,

I'd hate to be another casualty for being honest. So, I'll just bite my tongue about the shortcomings of the 2016 SS and the options that GM is not offering, that other global manufacturers are. I used to only own GM vehicles. But, because of the lack of certain options, I have had to add imports to my garage that I now split time driving with my GM cars.
But, I am extremely excited for my new $35lk SS, and look forward to shifting gears with a clutch every clear and warm day I want to.

First off, let me say that I like the car. GM did a great job.

With that said, these are the things I wish they did a little different.

- I wish the fender line dove downwards as it travels front to rear. It's snuggled too close to the belt line reveal molding making the car look a little too flat (horizontal) right there.
- I wish the bottom of the rear quarter window was a little lower (to reduce the gap between the window and the rear shoulder line) and parallel to the beginning of the rear shoulder line.
- I wish some of the lines were made more crisp. The midline can be seen when the lighting is right but fades away when it's not. I'd like to see a little more definition there. And I wish the transition from the body to the wheel opening flare was creased. That would give the car a more muscular look.
- The dashboard is a little chunky/clunky. Like it's a plastic module just hung on the firewall. I would have liked to see it smoothed out and better integrated into the interior. The same goes for the door panels & console. Just need some smoothing.

Oh, and where's the 1LE?!?!?

[its a syn]

Doubt that, 1le will likely be available by 2017 MY. We already seen a model with a large front splitter testing at the ring, probably the 1le.

The car is starting to grow on me slowly, but for the life of me, the badge location simply never will. I mean, that's an incredibly minor thing to change just before production of the cars begins over the next few months so shipments arrive by the end of 2015. They claim the SS badges are the only thing left from the outgoing model, and ironically, this is the only thing that looks out of place. Hopefully they will find a better solution. Otherwise, I can see most people debadging their rides. IMO, that could be a good thing. If you know what RS snd SS signify, you probably know there are much bigger obvious visual cues that tell you what trim it is anyway, so it's not really necessary.

Learning from experience. No matter what, there will always be some people that are unhappy.

If what you're saying is true, I could never make a thread like this -I would have ban myself (which I think is a technical impossibility)
