The 2014 Chevrolet SS
 
Everything you need to know about the car can be seen here.


Basically, this car is an evolved version of the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. Big difference is weight loss and a much more refined interior with useable tech features. LS3 V8 with 6spd auto. No manual is offered at this time but you do get paddle shifters.

The car retails anywhere between $45 - 50k USD. GM shipped only 5000 units in their initial run.

Not available in Canada :okay:

sorry that thing looks butt fucking ugly.

why do GM cars have this commercial vehicle(rental car, taxi, etc) feel to it? It also looks cheap.

The G8 was an ok looking car, I wouldn't buy it, but I could understand why some people would wanted it.
It was a V8 sedan without spending Lexus/Mercedes price tag.

Nothing has really changed on the higher end of GM's cars since coming out of bankruptcy

I think some GM cars are fine. But yea I agree, that Chevy SS thing looks ugly and it doesn't even look exciting.
I think I'd get more excited with a Camry with Tundra V8 in it.

I kinda disagree with nothing has changed with GM cars though.

yea it's a total garbage.
It even looks like a $25k malibu, and they're asking $45-50k? that's just insane.

If I need a nice sedan, I'd go for Infiniti Q50 or BMW 4 series, if I need something performance oriented, I'd get an EVO or STi for less money.

That thing shows no excitement whatsoever. It probably will depreciate like crazy too.

The ss just looks so round. But Damn the forgi corvette does look hot

Looks tacky as fuck to me.

As for the SS, debadge, dechrome, tint the windows and put better wheels and it'll look a lot better. No Malibu makes that sound, either.

they still do for the current model, but the upcoming next-gen model i don't know much about. i've only seen sedans.

how much is an e63 amg wagon again? $100k? :o

Timpo 12-06-2013 11:09 PM

ok, I agree that HSV looks nice.

However that still doesn't change the fact that Chevy SS still looks cheap and ugly.
