I always thought Chevrolet would do better at marketing that car than Pontiac. Now we get to find out. If I was in the market for a new sedan, that is one that I'd consider.

This part brought a tear to my eye. RIP Impala SS

Importantly, the new SS will be rear-wheel drive, finally ending Chevrolet’s 17-year drought for rear-wheel drive sedans in the U.S.

I think it'll be a flop. I wish it wouldn't, but I get that feeling.

Chevrolet SS to replace Impala in Sprint Cup Series - ESPN

2014 Chevrolet SS Confirmed As VF Holden Commodore: Official - The Washington Post

I guess that explains why Onstar leaked out a "Chevy SS" in their vehicle listings.

I think it will be a tremendous success...

So many people want a performance vehicle but can't due to the needs of hauling a family around and their gear. This car will solve that issue

Albeit this wil get great fuel economy, for it's class, with the proper engine/tranny/rearend ratio
