Was at my dealer today and seen an "SS"

I have to say that pictures do not do this car justice. I was not at all impressed with the pictures I seen but seeing it in person I have to say Chevy knocked it out of the park. The car is beautiful! Is it worth the high price, not sure. But I will say I'd seriously consider this if I needed a 4 door car. Great job Chevy!

I saw one when I got my Camaro. I was impressed with the interior, very nice. And the sticker wasn't that much more than my 1LE. It would also have room for my three kids, however I just couldn't get past the auto transmission and lack of full gauges...

I've seen and sat in one too. Interior is great. I think it looks better in person but if I was spending that much get I'd get a 300srt8 instead. But looks are subjective. I do hope the car does well. I think the Aussie version looks much better,especially the wagon. They also have better colors available too.

Nice car, but not worth the price to me.

Keep in mind I said it's not worth it for me. Maybe it is to you.

For performance in a 4-door sedan, it might be a value. But if it's just performance, I'd rather pick up a new Camaro SS (low $30k). There are also lots of used options (C6?) that would rival the performance per dollar.

I think the Charger SRT8 is a better-looking car if we're judging "content" as appearance.

One of the things I can't quite get over is that it looks too much like a Pontiac G8 (it is one, practically). I don't think the G8 was a bad car, but it was a value-car and was offered as a cheap V6 sedan. I don't think anything about the build quality has changed; that is to say, glancing at it reminds me of a pedestrian sedan built by GM. Nothing special.

If "interior" is considered content, then for $40k+ I'm probably looking at Audi, BMW, or Mercedes first.

You definitely won't find much of a BMW at 40k. lol Maybe a used 3-series.

I agree with both! The. charger and 300 is a better looking car and I like the interior better! The SS can't compete to me!

My next car will most likely be a 300 or charger srt8 but if the SS looks like this I would def go for it. Really like the wagon
