I like the SS myself. It is definitely not marketed toward the 9-5 mom/dad that shuttles the kids to school imo. I have 3 yr old and no way would I buy one right now , the car is too nice for that. I would , however buy one later in life when my son is older/less messy lol. I think its a pretty cool car plus with a few exterior mods it look badass also.

Most people don't appreciate a good sleeper car. As for me, I would love to add this to my garage.

I do enjoy watching Slingshot defend the SS against anyone's comments....

I guess I would too if I had already had the money invested lol

No, you are also paying for all the standard equipment that is an option on other cars plus $1300 in GG tax ... It's actually a very good price for all you get ...

The SS. But now that I look at the Impala, it is kind of the same shape too.
Impala:


Camry:


My driving years started out in a 71 Impala like this:

I still think that old Impala is a pretty cool looking car.

I have to say that we did own a Camry for many years and it was a great car. Unfortunately it seems like most sedans have converged on that shape. What I love about the Camaro is nothing looks like it. The front end looks aggressive. In my opinion, the front end of todays SS and Impala could be mistaken for any number of other cars.

V8 in the malibu just because it already looks a little muscular , well the rear quarter panels! Plus I love the back of the Malibu and I like the front of the Chevy. SS over the impala front.

Literally that would be one of the last sedans I would choose or even think of to look at for $43k .

By that logic the "SS" is a deal for only $2k more.

I saw a black SS at my dealer and I loved it!! If I was in the market for an understated sports sedan, this would be it.

When I was building a 1LE last year, it priced out at over $44k with nav, sunroof, RS and Recaros. So, $45k for a 4 door Camaro 1LE fully loaded, is more than justified in my book.

I wouldn't buy one of these. Would prefer the charger instead. By far.

I saw this at the dealership when I bought Ciaran and I asked the salesman straight up "what the hell is that"? recaro seats, sounds mean... but I don't know about the look.
