Saw the SS concept for the first time today, GM: build it

I went to the Auto Show in Motion today. (click the link for info) And much to my surprise the SS concept was there. This really made me happy because i wanted to see it during the auto show season but it was in detroit at naias, and im here in So Cal. So i saw it today and just wow. EVERYONE liked it. i did not here 1 bad thing about it. Everyone thought it was the coolest thing in the world. from the big wheels to the big fender flares, the interior, the size, hell i even heard one guy say to his wife "and it has this much trunkspace too (spreading his arms out to show the large size), the door handles, and most importantly the engine. One thing i noticed is it has DVD players in the back of the front seats for the people in back. I stood around it for probably an hour and a half total, had to wait for awhile bc my mom was taking a survey, so i heard many opinions. One person said, "I like it because it reminds me of early Chevelles." I know this car was probably built to bring attention and excitement to the new SS model car blitz, but i dont think i have ever heard that many positive things with absolutley no bad things about it said. GM: Please build it. ill get pics up in a little if u guys want to see them.

Well of course we do! I like the SS and I've only seen pictures of it. My favorite things about it are the interior and the metal-looking tail light housing/trim. Make it a two door and it would be even cooler.

It's a little too futuristic looking for me, but it shows that Chevy might be showing a hint of interest in coming up with a new design. The interior is far from the bland black vinyl they put in the 3rd and 4th gens.

Did Chevrolet actually design this car? If so, I give them respect for being innovative once in a while.

If I needed a 4-door Vette, I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

If you're going to build that POS might as well just leave the F body dead. Ugly as sin. The F body will make a come back for 2yrs with this ugly a$$ model. GM F*cks it up again.

Thanks.

I love the new Sunfire + Grand AM = New GTO
