I like the SS a lot, but it feels last gen. Felt almost last gen when it arrived. Styling a bit on the soft side, LS3 engine, 6 speed automatic. Love the interior.

If Chevrolet picks up this car and keeps it moving forward into a new generation, and it uses the lighter, more nimble Alpha chassis, with the LT1, and 8, or even the 10 speed transmission, and last but not least, give the styling a little kick in the pants to be more modern/aggressive.....

....I'd want one bad. lol

Wife and I have a 2 year old, and there will likely be another child in our future. The Camaro is not my daily driver, and it works fine for having one forward facing car seat in the rear behind the passenger side (I pick up my daughter from the daycare....the wifey drops her off) but there is no way, even on the passenger side to get a rear facing seat in there comfortably. Trust me...I did it. On my 5th gen it wasn't too bad, but I had to do it for a few months in the 6th gen before we got a forward facing seat and it was a complete pain in the butt b/c of the differences in the roof line and decreased back seat space in the 6th gen. There is no way I will ever be able to put two car seats in the back.

Now I know....its a Camaro. its not meant for that. I agree. That's why my daily is a crew cab truck. But for someone like me that has a young family, the SS sedan makes sense. But the Camaro in my opinion, is so much more modern than the SS, that I could never consider it (and the additional cost above my 1SS)

If they made a trim version of the SS that wasn't fully loaded (aka: expensive!) that'd be awesome, not to mention the rare-ness of them makes them very cool.
