My observations from the NYIAS was that the SS is using materials that damn near could go in a Cadillac. The Leather was quite nice.. the layout?? stunning. The interior decor was quite nice, and I really think that the idea of the SS being more of a 5series alternative in Australia came ring thru quite well when they exported it here. I'm not comparing the '14 CTS interior to the SS.. Where did U get that from? I will say that the materials of the SS are very much on par with those in my '12 CTS-V Coupe that cost $30K more. But Cadillac did for the '14 VSport and ELR at the NYIAS.. move Caddy up two more notches over what I have in my garage. Again I think U are missing the point of the SS. It is not a car that GM seems to have marketed towards the bench racers who will most likely not buy the car in the first place. At $45K I speculate that the age demo will be more in the 40+ age range.. and quite frankly a lot of us simply don't want a car that is constantly associated with the "bad area of town." |

I would like to also add that this car looks more "Bland" than the SS in that color.. leading me to think that SILVER is a great deal of the culprit in these silly comments about a car very few have ever seen in person

I may change my mind if I ever get to see an SS in person, I will admit that, but it is not going to be a GXP in looks. |

Perhaps.. and I'm just throwing this out there.. Perhaps every one does not want a car that looks "Aggressive." Call me crazy.. but some people want muscle-car performance in a sleeper from the factory. |

My 63 year old Aunt owns a G8 GXP that she got when she traded in her Grand Prix GXP. She thinks the SS looks better than her car and so do I. Either way.. opinions are like brains.. most have 'em.. most don't kno how to use 'em. I have a question tho.. If U like the Charger sooooo damn much.. Where's your Charger??? And would GM be a fool to market the SS to U knowing U didn't even buy their more aggressive looking G8 which U can still get for LESS than $30K |

Personally, I would've preferred the new Impala have this type of performance (I don't believe it does but I could be wrong). Visually, the Impala is the better car IMO

It doesn't unfortunatly, GM has the tech (AWD turbo V6 going into the XTS), but it won't happen and it is sad because that is easily GMs best looking sedan in 2 decades.

Looks are subjective and this is where we differ. You like the look of the Charger, I do not. To me the SS looks much more refined inside and out. I have always loved the Commodore VE, the Charger just never did anything for me. As someone who buys a new car every 2-3 years, I would lay down $44k of my own money for the SS. I would not for the Charger. It's that simple.
