In the grand scheme of things, this basically is an Impala SS. Full size, RWD, V8, starting where an LFX Impala LTZ leaves off.

And considering it already beat Charger in a comparison test...it's not the flashiest sports sedan, but it's supposed to attract a more mature audience. A lot of folks think Charger is too garish. Just like the G8, it's a poor man's 5-series.

Fenwick, I agree for the most part, but the issue is the BASE price of this car is 45,000. The G8 GT was low 30's. The SS won't be a poor man's 5-series. It'll be a high middle class 5-series, and I don't know if it can compete based on the look of the car and the competition in that price bracket.
