I think GM is going after the "performance" market that is scared of real performance. Lets face it ladies and gents the car we drive scares the hell out of a lot of people. The look, size, sound and rear wheel drive will intimidate most consumers. Hence our title of the 2%rrrrrss. I personaly feel for the SS purist but maybe just maybe it will get some market share back from the imports. That is a good thing.
 
Well-can't a guy get a word in here--Gosh!! Takes forever to read thru all this-----

Simply said--Sarge and Todd--- Agree with them!!!

Nothing more that spin-offs from what our MM has created ....and it's still stired up..( replaces another word)
 
LOL, be careful marauderman... Remember, we are kind of a "spin-off" of the late 90's Impala SS's. But then again, what car ISN'T a spin off on another car?

More bad news for GM.....

The State of California has forced GM to extend the warranty on 3/4 Millions trucks and SUVs. It is expected it will cost GM $100 MILLION dollars. Ouch, imagine once the other states become involved.

California requires General Motors warranty extension

What the hell does this have to do with the subject?!?!? We could go on for days talking about the problems car problems and recalls. That's just dumb.
 
During my commute I often pass by a woman driving a new Monte Carlo with SS badging. A quick pull in behind revealed the wonderful GM ploy of fake dual exhaust. LOL one into two. This phenomenon can also be found on the Cadillacs as well, and the y-pipe is even more visible.
Style over substance.

The new Impala SS is a joke in my book. Just like no 94-96 Impala SS owner would have ever considered a a 2K Impala, the SS Impala is no exception.

I personally think that The General is playing us like a bunch of needy new-car-buyer idiots. They will probably make an RWD Impala SS and a Monte Carlo SS one day but not before people spend they're hard earned monthly payments for 3 years and then HAVE to trade it in for the real thing; an excellent way to make money.

People aren't going to put money down on the interim version. They'll buy something else. I know whereof I speak. I have $3K on my GM card that I could have put toward a new car. $3K in rebates and $3K on the card. I could have bought pretty much any car in the Generals stable for at least $6K under invoice.

And I bought an MM...

Real cars have a frame and rear wheel drive like the MM. Have had many front wheel drive cars and I am of the opinion the are only good for commuting to work or what ever. JOHN
 
GM is offering $3500 rebates on the Impala and $4000 rebates on the Buick.
When Ford started offering rebates on the MM, people (not necessarily here) jumped up with a load of criticisms of how it was obviously because the Marauder was a flop. Where are the criers now on Impala and Buick?
