Is it bad that I prefer the G8 to the SS?

There's something about understated performance I just like better.

No, not at all. Many people have pointed out flaws in the SS compared to the G8. How they didnt really change the look of it, but still managed to make it look horrible, took away the manual option, and jacked up the price to a ridiculous number.

Nope, you'd be crazy to prefer the SS to the G8.

The G8 GXP is much nicer looking, has just as much power, and is about $10k cheaper if you can find one. Why would you ever get the SS?

I'm I the only one who likes the look of the SS? It's understated but looks pretty nice, kind of the like another executive sport sedan everyone worships:

That said the lack of manual ruins it. Would get a Charger SRT8 then, even if it doesn't have the best dynamics.

If you wanted the equivalent to an E39 M5, here.

If you wanted something else.... SS.

G8 looks sharp. The SS looks... Blobby...?

The Charger is auto only, too...

You sir, have excellent taste. Even the right color.

I just saw a SS in the flesh for the first time last week. Strangely to me, it looks smaller than the G8.

The only thing I don't like about the SS is that the rear of the car looks a little bit too high off the ground. Probably just me though.

Give me a G8 GXP with the SS interior.

I like the SS (hate the name!!) but the G8 definitely had cleaner styling. At least GM dropped the ridiculous fake hood scoops.

I agree completely. I'm a G8 fan.

And manual.

Not at all, I think the G8 looks way better, also, it offered a manual transmission!

Just for you.

I like the way it looks as well, and I'd take an SS over a 5 speed auto Charger.
