2014 SS - Anyone tempted?
I'm contemplating getting an SS when they come out. There's not a lot of info available, but it seems a good blend of LS3 and 4 doors with at least a little aggressiveness in the styling area.
Anyone else pondering the idea?

Oh I thought you were talking about a Camaro. You're in the wrong section bud. I thought you were completely clueless as to what a camaro is

Was looking forward to it because I have been contemplating a 300 srt8 for a family car. Will have to see it in person but was hoping the front end on the new SS would be a little more aggressive

It's not my fault they named the stupid thing just "SS"
Personally, I'm tempted since I have 3 kids and this would be roomy enough for all on a long drive. But I hope someone comes out with some ground effects or other enhancements. It'll never replace a Camaro. That's not the point. I'm just curious what other Camaro owners think of it.

Joking aside, I would take it any day over the Charger. Aggressive kits will be made for it and it will look great. |

Nope, that thing is ugly. Could have been awesome but they went with the rental car granny look instead.

Oh, okay. My bad- didn't even think about that car and I watch NASCAR races!!
I've only seen the SS as a race car. I do like my 08 SS Impala a lot, so if its anything like that it would be a great family car with some performance.

It's a family car, equivalent to an Impala or Taurus in Australia. They can't do anything extreme with it.
