S/C Impala & Monte Caro to debut at Chicago

"Chevrolet: The first of Chevrolet's SS performance cars will be unveiled with the 2004 Impala SS and the Monte Carlo SS. Each car features a supercharged V-6 engine, suspension upgrades, and front and rear styling enhancements"
Looking at the list of debuts, it seems that Chicago will really be Chevrolet's show.

I am looking forward to seeing the Monte Carlo SS and Impala SS....

Both.

2004 brings sheet metal freshening for both Imapal and Monte Carlo as well as a supercharger from the factory for the SS models.

Bummer. I'd rather have a RWD NA V8 sports sedan with a bowtie on it!

eh..I'm not too impressed. Nothing more than a GTP. GM thinks that they can slap a SC on some p.o.s. FWD car or slap some sticker on the side of a car and call it a GTO and everyone will forget that they killed their muscle car. Not me!

WhooHooo!!

The new S/Ced FWD V6 Impala SS and MC SS, just what we want and have been waiting for!! NOT.

I know there's nothing else they can do right now but this ain't no Impala SS and every1 knows it.

I hope both cars at least look better, but we'll just have to see.

No joke IZ28. If GM wants to make a Impala SS or a Monte that isn't a crap box then they need only to look back about 7 years when they actually had Impala right. They ruined the Impala and Monte Carlo name by making them FWD. I love GM but man this is messed up.

I sure hope that they get things right. I don't wanna have to join the blue oval boys when the new Stang hits the streets.

This is only the beginning for these cars, the best is still to come. I am excited to see what they look like but I am really excited for the rwd cars in 06'.
