and the fatman seats... and the plastichrome.
Look at that heavily spaced and shallow bolstering. Perfectly tailored for a wide American ass. :facepalm:
This is more like it. :thumbup: Ideal option for a lean athletic build... oh wait. They don't do those in 'Murica. :banghead:
Stop being an ass. Fact is people who buy a full sized V8 sedan aren't going to be hipsters or the svelte 30 year old in every car commercial. The guys buying these are going to be middle aged, with a middle aged gut, and that means they want a seat that is comfy for the commute, roadtrips, while wearing nice clothes... but still bolstered enough for spirited drives. Full sized sedans are obviously a compromise to let a middle aged family man have something fun. If you want a pure performance ride, the Corvette would be much better. So why on earth would GM shove man-boy seats in a SS?
Put another way, only an idiot would want a full sized sedan as the starting point for a performance car UNLESS they needed that extra space for a family or to haul people/stuff. The Euro snobs won't buy an SS, the young guys will look at any of the lighter and smaller options...so I ask again - who is the target demo for this car? Do you really think that demo has a 'lean athletic build?' Hell, every Porsche and M series BMW I see is either driven by a college kid or a older non-athletic looking guy.
It is relatively bland, but the usual mods will sharpen them up just fine, and the guys referenced above don't want some over-the-top design that screams for attention. I applaud the fact that GM has not put out another muscle car copy ala the Charger, but a modern high-performance car with a man-pedal. I don't live in an area to allow such a car, but otherwise...I would be interested if I lived in a nicer climate.
