Get the hint.....the market doesnt want big blocks anymore and with gas prices the way they are and plus insurance costs big block coupes and sedans wont make it(did we forget those two factors killed off the muscle car). Like someone before me pointed out, when the SS badge first appeared on the Impala, it was just an appearance package. But then when the market demanded more power, chevy responded, with SS238, SS327, SS350, SS396, SS402, SS409, SS427, and SS454. the first two were available on Malibu and camaro SS, hell SS's were even available with V-6's! Why dont some people get the hint that this is a different time, different market, and different demands...people who drove GM muscle cars or any other muscle car for that matter, are now old enough to drive a buick or some other brand that caters to the older population....if you think about it, Super Sport always meant, better engine, better handling, better looks, better performance....About the interior, SS's were never flashy, except SS badges on the dashboard or steering wheel. When i look at the Super Sports that chevy offers now, they are on par of what Super Sports mean. The reason for the RWD bias was because the Super Sports were in a RWD market....I wonder what responses would be if back then the market was all FWD just like it is now....but have no fear, there are RWD Super Sports on the way...The next Gen Impala and MC are switching to RWD with V-8 options so you know an SS is due for them, Trailblazer SS will be coming, Colorado SS, the rumored return of the Camaro. Cobalt SS.. why not give it the SS badge? It lives up to the SS guidelines doesnt it?... I think its cool to see the SS badge do battle in the Tuner market...so why not take that SS recipe and apply it tuner style?...So get the hint....different times, different market.
Aveo SS? why not.
and for those who dont want to accept the change and evolution of the SS....tough S***, live with it.
