The hood looks like a mistake. The interior is well done. The rest looks like a tweaked "last gen" viper.

Never mind the fact that it was the fastest FWD car in the world, right?

How many classic SS's could claim that they were the fastest car of their type?

This new Viper is going to have to grow on me.

I know I'll eventually like it...just need time.

It sounds like a serious performer!!!

Yikes - that's tossing a narrow bridge out there. All I read was the quoted post and your response there. The FWD performance market is (IMO) laughable, but legitimately big. In that light I think the Turbocharged Cobalt wore the SS badge very well.

But....how did we go from Earth-shattering Viper to Cobalt SSs?

I don't give a damn about it being the fastest FWD car in the world, FWD cars aren't meant to be performance cars. It could have 1000HP and provide sexual gratification and I still would still never buy a Colbalt SS....

The Cobalt SS was about the closest thing I ever saw that approached a "sporty" FWD car. I associate FWD with gas sipping commuter transportation, not performance. That said if a Cruze SS with similar specs to the Cobalt SS came out, I would be interested for a DD.

I honestly don't know if I like it......

Looks like a Ferrari California and a Viper mated. Something about it just seems off to me......
