I had to Bing it (trying to avoid Google these days) to figure out what an SS was. Looks like it has good horsepower. Plain Jane styling though. But $45K for a Chevrolet RWD sedan is waaay too much, IMO. And I have to have AWD. Plus, that's getting close to a Merc CLA45 AMG ($45K vs $48K). I was joking about looking at a GM model, BTW - even if it did have functioning airbags and brakes and wouldn't blow-up or catch fire. But I have been car shopping in the past month, though I didn't look at any GM models. Although I guess my shopping trip triggered a wave of promotional offers in the mail from GM and others. You can get some very good deals right now (cash back, credit card loaded with bonuses once you buy a GM car, free gas for a year or whatever, "free" options or upgrades, discount financing, etc.). But I'd already decided on an STI and placed the order that first day of window shopping.

I'm happy that they sold their interest in Subaru/Fuji. I cannot see myself ever buying a GM vehicle, certainly not under its current leadership. And if they still owned a big chunk of Subie, I might have to look at that Merc CLA45 AMG instead... great car, but crazy expensive maintenance and there's no service dealer within 50 miles of me.
