Has anyone considered the Chevy SS

[goofygenesis]

I did, and I actually bought one over the Genesis. Well, I owned it for 6 months and sold it. The car was rough and the family didn't like riding in it. It was a bit noisy. It was a fun car no doubt, but more RAW than Luxury I would say.

Its good to know that although the SS is a good fun car, in-terms of ride quality for the family, it may not be a good fit. ie: too much rough/tight ride comfort.

I read the articles about the SS when I was looking for my Geni. Mostly positive, but production was intentionally limited. And with the new Fed CAFE standards I heard that GM couldn't afford to keep it in the fleet. You didn't say where you live, but the sports models are definitely not winter vehicles. Again, Fed CAFE standards are pushing the manufacturers to limit V8 production and AWS is out of the question. I had a Marauder. Nice car, I miss it nine months out of the year, but get two inches of snow without treatment and you were staying home. I suspect the SS has similar manners. I'll stick with V6 AWS as long as I can only have one vehicle and I'm where you can get two feet of snow.

I live in the Mid-Atlantic area, where snow fall occurs between November and February. Although I never owned a RWD vehicle, previous forum posts and youtube speak of winter tire swap. Both vehicles are heavy, so they'll be traction. Additional, the Genesis car on my outlook is the 5.0 Ultimate
