Ever since I got rid of my '07 Monte SS, I've been anxious to see if the hype surrounding this new SS is justified, the jury will be out for a while. With still not enough info provided (price, m.p.g. ,top speed,1/4 mile results, ride and how she handles), opinions will be all over the place. It looks pretty good to me, but I'm a lot more partial to the G8 front end. I do prefer the back end, especially the tail lights over the Pontiac however.
A friend of mine just last Summer traded his LS2 Caddy CTSV (manual trans) on a brand new Charger RT. I wasn't impressed with his black Caddy, especially it's interior. The Dodge looks real nice on the exterior,but the interior looks very cheap.He says he dosen't miss the 30 horses or lack of a manual trans.
I prefer an automatic and look forward to magazine tests of the new SS
