Too bad the Impala SS name is already used, but they need something SS and not Caprice if they want a performance image. Both the G8 and Cadillac CTS need a coupe version before I will consider either. They are approaching the European performance sedans and need to market them as something boomers like me who have abandoned US cars for several decades will even consider.
