I just read a similar post in the main section where someone was complaining that the SS name has been watered down. I think people really are going to have to move past the cylinder count when they say things like that. Performance in it's category has got to be how the SS gets applied or Chevy is going to end up with only 1 or 2 fun cars to drive.

I've got no problem with a 4cylinder being called an SS as long as that 4cylinder can actually hustle and isn't just a styling exercise. My understanding is the Cobalt SS was the best handling car in it's class in 08-09 (and the HHR SS is the same platform?).
