2014 SS or base model 14 CTS?

So, now we have info, which would you choose? the fantastic looking CTS or the Wallflower with a secret SS? It seems standard equipment on even the base CTS will be similar to the SS so the biggest difference would be under the hood, as far as performance anyways.

Thoughts?

Easy question. SS The interior is very upscale and you get an LS3. I think an SS is red would make it look less docile.

Completely different segment and target audience. Go with the brute V8.

Yep, very different and each certainly makes a good case for itself.

If im spending that much $ on a car, Im taking the CTS every single time. Every time I see a picture of the new CTS I cant help but stare and think to my self, DAMN that is one fine piece of machinery. My personal opinion is that the CTS is the best looking car GM has built in a long time. I love everything about it, and I hope to own one one day.

Can I throw in a vote for a 2011 CTS-V? Should be roughly the same price.

I just realized you were talking about the SS sedan and not the CamaroSS.
i'd have to see them in person to decide.
