A pretty fair review of the SS :

I think he was more concerned about tayloring the article to fit lyrics to songs than anything... haha

Still a fair review.. pretty straight forward.

He seriously complained about only having 4 cupholders? Heh, I've got 6... in a 4 passenger car. Figure that one out...

The Mazda MX5/Miata has 4 in a two seater. THere are 2 in the centre console for cups and 2 in the doors for water bottles.

my suburban only has six cupholders so that must make it a lesser vehicle then a minivan that has twelve. why do they even bother writing the article if they are gonna crab about cupholders.

I'll tell you why. Because cupholders define the vehicle. Plain and simple. So unless the Camaro has 6, GM is in trouble.

Never mind that the Camaro will only seat four.

The cupholder sarcasm is killing me!

Randle2I · 08-01-2006, 10:55 AM

I thought the review was fair and unbiased. The reviewer was obviously young, but knowledgable and other than the cupholders, he harped on exactly the things I would complain about.

Who needs cupholders? We simple folks just throw the empty cans in the bed any way!

thats what bothered me most about my g6... why does the general have that problem?

Fair and balanced. Sleepers are so much fun.
How come nobody praises torque steer? While not as kicky as keeping a RWD scorcher straight, it's still a bit of fun. Isn't it?

Only sissies complain about TS! Enjoy! Beats listening to that #@!xx%$! on the radio.

Crank the rudder over to 30+ degrees. Order Flank Speed from the engine room. Nail e-brake after speed exceeds 15 knots. Countersteer rudder as appropriate. Curtis Turner would have enjoyed this. Turn done!

I have never owned a car with a cupholder.
