If you are going to be so bold as to call a car "SS", it better scream it.

The press release says "SS." The OnStar screw up said "SS Performance Sedan." The Chevrolet website says "SS."
Can I still hope?

No. Neither Fenstick nor I will rest until you are left without hope.

Good luck getting one too...GM is being super cautious with the launch. Extremely low volume for now.

Probably want to avoid a repeat of the G8 sales story.

Let the talks begin
Looks like a Camry.

Perhaps he meant the Nascar Camry that was just revealed? He probably didn't, but you never know.

Yep. The front end, in camo is not distinct enough. Looks like a Camry. I was hoping for something sexy in an SS. Not excited at all by this pic.

BTW, just because someone doesn't always drink from the GM kool aid fountain does not make them a troll, just as calling out people as a troll does not always make you a sad little man.

...it's a freaking NASCAR "stock car." Even with the 2013 changes they still look pretty generic.

True, and they still do by and large.

Here's the Camry.

And the Ford.

and the Dodge which is less cookie cutter.
