STS-V


Impala SS


Cobalt SS Sedan


G6 GXP

The only noteworthy car getting the axe is the Cobalt SS, but it's just the sedan, not the coupe.

Whoa... whoa... hold on...

There was an STS-V?

Yeah, it was allright, but never really competitive with the M5. Now with the awesome CTS-V, it's completely unnecessary.

Slight pangs of regret for the Cobalt SS Sedan but at least the coupe's still around.

Wow, the G6 GXP is hideous.

i dont recall seeing any of these on the road other than the impala lol

I always felt embarrassed for GM and the person driving a Cobalt SS sedan. The same thing to a lesser extent for the Impala SS (current model). I never even knew they made an STS-V. and I agree on the G6 GXP looking hideous.

Are they still making the HHR SS? That is the ultimate rolling tool shed that they could definitely have done without.

Maybe GM wouldn't be in QUITE as bad a shape now if they hadn't wasted the money developing/making these cars in the first place...

Around here, I see almost more Impala SSs than normal Impalas. They seem to be incredibly popular with affluent blacks.

The Pontiac is questionable at best, but with the STS-V, GM knew they wouldn't make any money. From what I've read, it was supposed to be a brand-builder for the V performance line. To its credit, it helped sell a lot of GM aftermarket bits. Just as many Merc/BMW owners like to make their cars look like AMG/M-division cars, many STS owners wanted to the V-look. Also, like I said before, it helped build the V performance range's rep. It wasn't up to the level of the M5, but a good car in its own right.

The Impala SS has also proved popular, and from what I know, while a lot of divisions have been loss-making. Chevy has been quietly going about its business raking in some profits with their vanilla line-up (much of it from fleet sales).

The Cobalt SS is a good car, period.
