may be a repost but i just found this..

looks like ss styling.. why would they do this? i just feel like "ss" doesnt even really mean anything anymore when chevy just throws the badges on just any car.. i know it doesnt say "ss" but the style pretty much looks like one.. i dont know, im just gonna stop now..

 

what do yall think?

They seem to have decided that SS will only go on serious performance vehicles. Dont know what that means for the Cobalt, but otherwise its all good with me.

 

The car looks okay, but I dont want any compact SUV-tiny wagon crossover thing.

My 90 model 454SS did about that :)

 

Eqinox and SS dont gel with me. It looks good, but only as good as the guy who puts an SS bumper on his LS.

 

I think 'Sport' will do fine for the Equinox, because in LSWorld, nothing with under 345 hp should have SS on it.

I hope GM is off the "SS" bandwagon. The Malibu Maxx SS was the last vehicle not worthy of an SS badge. :shakehead: I side with those who say Sport is more appropriate.

honestly i liked the maxx SS, but i always liked wagons :) when i was younger i had a 66 impala wagon with a factory 396/th400 and 12bolt-posi all original. and when you remember that in 1972 you could get a chevelle ss wagon, it would fit right in.

this has come up a million times before, and i can run down a list if you would like. but the SS stands for super sport not super fast, many of the original ss's were nowhere near a "muscle car" and were just the sportier version of it's particular modle line.

Different stokes for different folks I guess. :dunno: Looks like a chick car to me.

mazda miata, bmw Z3, vw bug.. those are chick cars to me. when i was a kid we had a 73 mercury colony park (my bro was born in 75 me in 80) and it was "HUGE" had a 460 in it. i always liked it (had a one my self). i guess theres something cool about having a fast car that no one would ever think is fast, at least to me anyway. but like you said to each there own.

those cobalts arent slow (the supercharged ones at least) and they can be put in the 12's for less than 1500 bucks. but ive heard rumors that they will be soon turbocharged with 260 hp ecotech similar to the redline sky and solstice gxp.
