I want to like it, but the overall styling is still to vanilla for me

Offered in Canada yet?

Ditto. As an owner of a G8 I really wanted to trade into a SS, until I saw Malibu all over that car. Nice car all around except the looks.

Design needs to be more bold

So glad to see Chevy continuing with these. I really can't see anything wrong with a 415 hp sedan! Thanks Chevy.

Yep. It is an awesome car. Love the inside, love all the features packed into it. I just don't love the looks of it. I think the G8 is a much more aggressive looking vehicle.

As an owner of a 14 SS, I will say the car grows on you. Also there are a lot more lines to the car in person, than pictures really do justice to.

This, and offering only a very small limited amount of them would not be profitable, and offering too many would just draft sales over to compete with their other products as you said.

Wish it was cheaper for manufacturers to have very small limited numbers of cars but it's just not possible

I never liked this one, and I wasn't a fan of the G8. They look too bland.

IMO they need to get rid of this model all together it may offer good performance but it is a very boring looking car, looks like something you would find on the rental lots. Forget the Chevy version and lets bring a sinister looking Buick Grand National back.

I'd love to see a new GN. A coupe, of course.

Going to keep an eye on these....I like them more and more....As pricey as they seem to be, I think some good deals can be had if you aren't in a hurry...Their appeal will increase to me if the 6th Gen Camaro's headroom is any less than the 5thGen...lol...

I'm glad they still make them, blandness and all....If a good discount pops up on a '15, maybe jump on it.

I know GM can come up with better styling.. I wish they made a 4door as cool as the Charger.

FenwickHockey65 · 09-19-2015, 01:52 PM

Some of y'all are waaaaay missing the point of this car but whatever.
