Slapping the SS badge on a car don't make it sporty IMO. I wasn't impressed. It seems to me that GM splitting the SS off into its own model is a good thing. The 2014-2015 SS is leaps and bounds better than this. |
It also grenaded transmissions on a regular basis.

And I agree that tint would improve it's looks and maybe some different wheels. I really like the CTS-V too, but it's not being offered in a manual anymore and is out of my price range. Only the ATS-V will keep the manual. For the money and a pretty quick 4-dr sedan, and faster than a lot of cars out there, the SS sedan is a decent option. Everyone has their preferences.

Nah, law enforcement already gets the Caprice.
Which I think looks even better than SS.
