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."
Stew feels the SS is being imported to secretly compete with the Charger. He wanted it priced in the mid 30's. He wanted other engine options and trim levels. Needless to say he didn't get what he wanted so he turned bitter and hopped on the Charger bandwagon. Better enjoy it before its gone!
