Performance=good

I said this is the other SS thread...but I'll say it here too. The SS just looks like what an 8 year old would draw if you asked him to draw a "car." Its just uninspired. Looking at Ford and Kia...it seems like they at least are doing some neat exterior stuff.

The Rx8 came out several years after the SS and if it was a copy, it is not executed as well. I've seen the Red SS at several car shows and it looks great in person - to me.

Except it's getting the LS3 just like the GXP did.

The SS is a disaster. If they can produce a 1LE package for the Camaro, couldn't they at least have done something like that for the SS? Not to mention it's going to be pitted against SRT8's making more power and 8 speed transmissions.
