Not even close to an Impala, or even the OLD Impala SS (el barge).

Slightly updated? SS is a lot more than just an updated G8. Lots of improvements from VE to VF Commodore.
I'm not saying SS is an Impala SS. I'm saying its market position and the character of the car is in line with an Impala SS, or what it should be.
The best thing GM could do for an Impala SS with the current car is integrate the powertrain and drivetrain from XTS V-sport. But that isn't happening.
