I am currently driving a 2014 2LT RS and I am thinking of upgrading to a Chevy SS sedan.

They have the LS3 and the interior is nice; not to mention 4 doors.

What is your guys opinion on this car? I've heard people compare it to the G8.

I love my camaro but if given the choice id probably do the upgrade. Altho id miss my camaro forsure.

Honestly, I had a nightmare a few nights ago that I traded in my camaro for an SS..I woke up in a puddle of sweat...afraid. Looked out my window to make sure it was still there...and it was

Do it!!! 4 doors is so much easier to live with. Plus it has a V8. You'll have the best of both in one package.

I like them.

Too many doors for me, but I think it is a very nice car. If I was a responsible parental figure I would buy one of those or a CTS-V wagon.

Fortunately for everyone around me I'm not a parent.

The exterior looks too plane. Love the interior though
You can probably get a good deal based on the fact that they didnt sell so well.

xRedsox · 03-24-2015, 11:24 PM

I believe I can get it for invoice or $500 above it, but not for 48k

Exterior looks too much like a run of the mill family sedan
If you like the sleeper look then its cool, but not something I have any interest in.

This gets discussed every month or two it seems:

It's a very competitive car in that class/price range. If I was looking for a $40+k V8/high output V6, this would be near the top of a short list. Magnetic ride (2015), available manual (2015)/auto, 415hp, 4 door, sleeper styling. All wins IMO. Only gripe for me is the lack of fuel efficiency (plus gas guzzler tax), even compared to other sporty V8 vehicles.

I'd rock it all day long, but what matters is if you like it, if you like it, go for it. Life's short.

Do you want a sports car, or a grocery getter? I know the SS is a fast car, but it's a four-door sedan "family" car. Two different worlds. The choice is yours.

Meh never liked the front end on those, not aggressive looking enough. Do they come in a stick?
