Chevrolet Impala (Surprised by this one)

Buick LaCrosse
Cadillac CT6
Cadillac XTS
Chevrolet Sonic

Nowhere has anyone said those six cars are being canceled next year. It originated from a report from Detroit-Hamtramck's UAW rep talking to GM about securing future product at the plant with the downturn in the sedan market and everyone put 2 and 2 together and got 6. All of those cars will live out their product cycles.

Its only rumors that GM might cancel those cars and it wouldn't be until after the 2020 model year.

Whatever it is NASCAR is supposed to be fielding it next season which means they're working on it now. One of you NC boys needs to bust into the NASCAR tech center in Charlotte to see what you can find out.

August 10, they are announcing what is replacing the SS in NASCAR.

What the...?!?! The only reason why I would say I wasn't 100% surprised by this is because they waited WAY too long to restyle to the current generation. The last generation model was extremely bland and visually unappealing to most people. The new ones are incredible! Quiet, powerful (with the V6), roomy, and super comfortable to drive long distances in. My wife drives a '14 LTZ and it is one of the most comfortable vehicles I have ever driven.

^That is a surprise, but I don't think that will happen immediately. I will say this, that GM's big cars seem to stumble over themselves. The Cadillac CT6 and XTS are essentially the same car. The CT6 is a fresher idea and needs to stay in the line-up. Chevrolet Impala (I thought) was doing well, but sales wise it is eclipsed by the smaller, tidier Malibu. A resurrected 'SS on the Alpha platform would be a great idea and could spur excitement for Chevrolet, but being that Cadillac ATS is essentially the same size as Malibu, the SS would need to be an exclusive model that is different than the Malibu.

I think Buick as a whole needs to re-evaluate its mission. Their line-up continues to be some of the least interesting cars on the market, and as of now do not pose a serious threat to some of the other luxury marques such as Lexus or BMW.

As for Sonic, its a great idea but it gets clobbered by its Japanese rivals. It seems to be doing well though; Chevrolet needs to give it a chance.

It's a take off of the Jeff Gordon grill, the only difference is the Gordon grill doesn't have the black piece through the bottom grill.

Believe it or not, some peoples like to drive bland vehicles. As long as the interior is what they want, you know, because you don't stand out and draw attention.
To the LEOs you are just another commuter going to the grocery store.

I don't know about the not standing out part as I get more attention when i drive the wife's ss then I do in my camaro or c7 vette. As far as Leo's go I have been pulled over 2 times in 12 years both being in the ss.

Not standing out? I bet you my SS stands out way more than your Camaro SS or even my ZL1. I have had multiple Leo's basically bump draft me running my tags.

Where I live anything stands out that's not a Subaru Forester, Prius, or 80s Volvo with bumper stickers and peace signs all over it.

I agree

There's a guy here who drives a sunrise orange metallic SS, or whatever orange came on the c7, it almost looks identical to that color, and he stands out in the crowd. More so than I ever could. I've talked to him and he gets questions on what the car is all the time.
