Whyd they stop making the Impala SS?

I just was wondering why they stopped producing the SS for the 2010/2011 model yrs

[mechguy]

Probably a lack of sales & changing corporate image.

GM Doesnt make any LS4 cars any more, Grand Prix GXP gone Monte SS gone Impala no SS option left, Buick Lacross Super gone that cars on a different chassis.

Besides this is going to piss some people off but why make a 300 HP V8 that gets sh1t for milage when a person could go get a Direct injected turbo 4 cylinder making like 270hp for much less than any of the LS4 cars cost brand new? And Also get way better milage! Once again GM is behind the times and leaves buyers no option but to find another brand!

GM marketing and product management FAILS again!!

That blows so hard. I wonder if that has anything to do withe the re-release of the caprice

I wouldnt hold ur breath IMO I'd wait a little for a new SHO to come down a little in price and find a used one.

Im sure we can expect the SS to come back at some point. GM always takes it away for a couple years to build the market for it again and then bring it back. I would say the next gen will have an SS option again. Who knows maybe we will get really luckey and for Christmas they will show us a Monte Carlo SS

Guys enthusiast cars are nice and all, but lets be honest they aren't money makers. Mainstream, econoboxes are what sells and makes them money.

The next gen Impala is said to be AWD and RWD, since the Malibu has now moved up in class size to basically what the Impala is now. Word is it will essentially be a G8 with Chevy badging.

Im perfectly fine with a G8 gone chevy badging! lol. Even better than an Impala SS lol!!!
