Post #90: I couldn't stand to look at the two side by side. I am a dyed in the wool Chevy fan, but I am also an automobile fan. IMO the Charger wins in the appearance department, its almost no contest. Chevy needed to work with the busy front end and even the body contours. A better wheel choice would've helped the 'SS. Then we get to Horsepower. End of competition. The 'SS is an outstanding handler, comes with the m6 and the Chevy motor is healthy and almost limitless in potential. It just seems like a one sided fight on paper though. Chevy could've worked with the marketing a little better, and somehow presented this one as a more track and road course oriented car; I believe that this is where the 'SS is leaning to. Instead, Chevy just stopped and let it come out to market with almost no promotion.

That is why if I had to choose between the two, I would pick neither car (or...maybe the Hellcat), and move over to a GMC Sierra Twin Cab or a Corvette.

Chevy should recognize the need of an attractive rear drive sedan, and follow it up with a full model in both v8 power and 4 cylinder economy.
