That is ultimately my concern with this discussion - if they don't see enough interest they may not bother to continue the model. And as Frank explained above, there's a lot of other options for performance already. But it sounds like what I was seeing from the sidelines is actually the case - GM just doesn't care (much).
Frank, the reason for bringing up the Impala wasn't to compare it to the SS sedan, it was actually the opposite. Because of the SS sedan Chevy has a viable 4 door option in the performance category, something current and potential Impala owners might consider. But the pricing gap is a little wide (?). [Only GM would know if this is true since that would come out in the results of customer surveys ('why did you buy this car', 'what other models did you consider', etc)] IMO luring the more sport minded Impala buyers into the SS would be an obvious business move. Again, the personal view of the average Impala owner aside, there are people who drive granny cars who drive them pretty hard. I am one, and I know a few others personally.
