Thumbs down 2015ss rs

So I went looking at a new 2015 ss realy wanted to see a 1le ss but no one has one. I wanted to see if I wanted to grab the last year or wait to see what the 2016 looks like. I realy don't think I'm going to like the new body style smaller isnt going to work for me but will see. Any way I'm not here to make anyone mad but I have to say did not like it enough to tade mine in. Inside was ok I liked the mylink and navigation seats were nice did not like the padding on the dash looked so out of place. I knew I didn't like the tail lights and the black plastic half way up the bumper but I could have lived with that. I didnt know the front looked so cheep that lower grill looks terrible with that wide flat piece plastic across the top to make it look more open I did not like that at all. Also how it sits against the bumper looks wrong and that crome trim just awful the smaller opening of the front grill was ok. It just seems like GM tried to modernize a body style that didn't need to be modernized. It's not looking good for the next gen for me but maybe if the hole car is updated it might come out nice we shall see. Remember opinions are like assholes everyone got one. For guys who own a 15 it's what you wanted so love it for me coming from the original style it just doesn't work for me.

OP, you know the refresh came out in the 2014 MY right? The 2015 isn't any different. Maybe you missed all the discussion in 2013 and 2014...

Sounds like you need a 2013. It IMO is the year to own. It has the (IMO vastly superior) 2010-2013 body style, but it has the MyLink, more leather accents, EWP and the NPP option if you want a stick.

Ultimately, I'd wait until the 2016 is released at the very least for two reasons: maybe you'll like that body style better, but if you don't it should drop 5th gen prices significantly.

Yea I'm waiting used isn't a option to picky as you can see if I don't like the 16 I'll keep mine and drop the cash I have saved for a new one on my 2011.
