Man why can't ford do something like this. I'd really prefer to not have to buy a Chevy in a few years.

Ummm....no



Don't get me wrong it's a good effort and the right idea I just don't like their styling at all.

Front end needs a little more touch up but when it comes down to what the car is, it really doesn't matter. V8 rwd sedan. If its roomy, comfortable, and powerful, ill be test driving and considering buying.

Would of rather get the Charger instead of this, its just the charger is still a nice beast of a car, 4 door, RWD with enough power from the V8s. And at least comes with heritage, and good looks that correspond to its muscle car predecessors . This SS just dosnt have "soul" to my eyes, just another power car. Looks good, but its a new start for the car name SS, so maybe with time the car will get respect and recognition it deserves.

Though it is on the conservative/bland side of the styling fence, it's not offensive. Would rather have this than a Charger.

The bowtie is killing that front end. Please ditch the gold insert and go with something a bit more modern.

That said, I like it, without the chrome wheels and badges, it'll be sharp. I'd love to see someone do the conversion back to the SS V, which wouldn't be tough.

I know MPG isn't the most important in a class like this but estimates of about 13/20? Come on!


Starts somewhere around $38,000 plus a possible gas guzzler task and no manual option?

They took the smallish demand they had for a car like this and made it even smaller.

How much more mileage do you want with 400+ hp?

Automatic trans will be fine. It's not a sports car.

The demand is bigger than you think. I really wish it would be a little bigger of a body but it will have to do for now. I would love to pack the family in this car and roll out. It's going to be a vehicle that will only compete with much more expensive cars. (BMW, Mercedes, Audi.) something American markets have been missing unless you God forbid consider Chrysler.
