The part I agree with Stew on, is that GM has put out some incredible designs that look aggressive, sporty, classy and muscular. And I know they were handicapped with this one bc they had to work with what Holden came up with, but to me, this car lacks any soul in the looks department. To my eyes, the SS is a boring design. I bet this car is gonna perform great, I bet its going to be a blast to drive, and I bet everybody that gets one will love it, but the exterior is so boring.

The SS to me, is about as exciting as a Buick. Not saying its ugly, I think Buick is turning out some great looking cars, the SS looks good as a regular sedan. Not as a sport sedan to me. it doesnt have that wow factor that I think a sport sedan should have.
One thing to realize with the Charger too is that that interior is now 4 years old, so i see the dated part, but it is still a good quality interior and only lacks the HUD in features, style is indeed subjective, but it will be getting an update next year that should be as thorough as the 13 Ram and 14 Grand Cherokee, can't wait, though the more exciting part is that the 8 speed auto should become standard across the board. of course any SS comparisons will be with the current Charger and not the updated one as it happened in 08 when the G8 came out the last year before the Charger got a major powertrain upgrade for 09 and of course was never retested.

Now the exterior along with the way it is being sold gets to me. I believe if they were selling like a regular car, i could honestly see it hitting it sales target or at least coming close, but this special order only stuff is what is going to kill it and why it will be another 19 years before we see anoth RWD Chevy Sports sedan once this one is killed off.
