That V6 is a dog/lifeless and the auto is clunky, drove a few of these in my day as a GM sales rep. Appliance car with so much wasted potential.
The Chevy SS always looked like a Malibu that took roids, and the looks totally ruined the car for me. Looks like a rental car, and not in a good sleeper kind of way either. Would get the Pontiac version 11/10 times.
