I'm just over all disappointed in the car regardless of driver.. Maybe my expectations were just too high?

We've just been lucky enough to be spoiled my the G8's looks, performance, and amazing price. Had the G8 not existed, many of us would likely be slobbering all over the SS. Personally, I like the SS except the rear end and price tag. I would certainly consider one if I didn't have a G8. If I was late to the party for buying a new G8 and wanted to purchase a brand new rear wheel drive V8 car, I'd take it over a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger any time.

G8 gone, but not forgotten...

kids are a great litmus test for old sticks in the mud like me who are no longer hip and aware... was showing my teenager a picture of the SS and mentioned I was thinking of looking at it, immediately got the stink eye... was gently informed that the SS looked like an "old person" car and that my G8 was way cooler and what the hell is wrong with you dad etc... so, there's that

GXP had gas guzzler on it anyway. Nothing new there.
Just have to love the new features and interior. HUD makes life easy.
Look much better in person than photos.

If it wasn't for the kick ass interior and awesome features I would not even consider the SS

SS interior is awesome, exterior does NOTHING for me.
My RAM has all the tech too, and I kept my G8 to have fun with. Now I have two completely different vehicles, both useful in their own way.

I never thought I'd own a "Chrysler" product, but I'm amazed how nice it is really. I guess that's the reason they've won MT truck of the year two years in a row. They've got a few things to work on, but for the money, I couldn't beat it.
