7. GM Needs To Bring Back The SS
GM has said time and time again that the company is backing out of the passenger car market. But this is a bad choice when you think about the fact that consumers are still buying passenger cars. The Dodge Charger is selling better than ever, which means that there is still room for a V8-powered rear-wheel-drive sedan. The Chevy SS was based on the Pontiac G8 and the sedan didn’t sell too long. The SS was powerful and fun to drive and it would be prudent for GM to bring it back. There is a strong appetite for horsepower nowadays.
The Chevy SS was a complimentary sedan. It was very reminiscent of the Impala SS of the 1990s. The consumer and automotive press feedback of the SS was generally positive and GM had a winner on their hands. The SS would be stellar competition for the Charger which is the last rear-wheel-drive V8-powered sedan.
