Exterior and Interior walkaround:
-
Meh. I'll let Parker handle this one.
-
Its the Pontiac G8 GXP reborn!
Or officially the Holden Commodore if you reeeeally wanna be accurate :)
-
Its an American car. Will break down after 5th week.
-
This car is so gay, you might as well wear a pink hat and shirt to match while driving.
-
absolute disgrace to the ss moniker

extra meh..... cashing in on mid life crisis' men who cant convince their wife to let them buy a vette.....

WNH

+1 looks like an average everyday car, now the red ones however. That's how an american car should look like.
-
looks boring... I prefer the 14" impala even though it isnt RWD but if I was buying a Chevy, it would be the 14" camaro Z 28.. That car is just mean. Lower it, black it out and under-accent it and its just awesome. Very reliable daily driver as well. That or the camaro SS.
-
No American cars for me sorry- German ftw.
-
Looks like Hyundai. Nothing reminds of famous ancestor.

Having owned 2 chevelles (including a big block SS car), a 67 gto clone, and a 68 firebird..... these pathetic attempts to cash in on the older generations nostalgia are irritating.....
-
Id rather spend that money buying a real SS and restoring it myself. Re labeling new models with classic names does not impress me
-
Typical GM non-sense, remember the new GTO ::), same shit different badging
-
the designer of this atrocity deserves a beating
-
Yes, while I agree... The Camaro, is the much nicer car and the way to go...... Its not very practical for a baby car seat, and well... Yeah Lol
OK question 2. The Chevy SS posted above or the Dodge Charger SRT8?
2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee
6.4L V8
470 HP
0-60 in about 4.8 seconds
Price: MSRP $43,450

Assuming vehicle that probably handles like a champ compared to the Charger...
Pulling up to people who think you have Chevy Malibu, and get surprised.
And I like the interior...GM interiors look better than current 3 series interiors.

blech. Both gay.
id buy a used G8 before either of those atrocities.

Since we're talking cars...

You know, Chrysler had a Concept and a plan to do a "four door coupe" Charger. It adhered to the coke bottle shape of the 68's...This concept was heralded in 1999 as that car, and then it was cancelled, and later on another company who merged (owned) Chrysler came out with their own "four door coupe" (Merc CLS---Mercedes effig over Chrysler? Noo...)
It would have sold very well had it been built.

Kinda like it from the back, not so much from the front. Don't know why they don't make a coupe.

Because Camaro?

Why? The Chevy SS is the exact same car as the g8?
Speaking of, I was sooooo close to killing the trigger on a g8 GXP a few weeks ago, but decided to wait and see if I'd prefer this new line up!
-

It's been said that the Germans (Mercedes) killed it.

LS 6.2 motor is very nice. Holden cars are well built. Surprised by the price...seems a little high.

This was the SS Concept, it was pushed by Bob Lutz, the man who is responsible for GM RWD car resurgence

The G8 isnt trying to pretend to be something it isnt 8)

What SF1900 said. The engine will fall out with the tranny while on the highway.

Looks like a Cobalt. Man, do they make some shit looking looking cars. The srt looks a bit nicer but handles like ass. I'd rather purchase a g37xs then either of those despite being lower in horsepower.

Gs are luxury, the "SS" is a a chevy, which is not "luxury" so it doesn't compete, nor is it styled to compete against luxury Marques. That's Cadillac and Buick's job.

Yup, if you want muscle and "luxury" you get the cts-V or the new xlr with the turbo charged engine

Oh snap, I can't see any of these mustangs at my local hertz........the only mustang they have available is a typical stock 5.0.....I know of a place where they rent exotic cars, but it come with a price of course...lol.....a typical Bentley rental for 5 days with limited mileage, of course, will cost you $5200.....and that's a bargain, according to them.....hahaha

I have seen Corvettes at Avis, think they were going for $600/day

Somewhere in Fort Lauderdale, they rent exotics like Lamborghini and ferraris which cost an arm and leg......lol....but these places expect celebrities, CEOs and anyone who won't scratch their heads when they see how much the rental price is for 3 days in a Ferrari......if I'm a millionaire, fetching 10k for 3 days on a Ferrari shouldn't be problem....
