A warm welcome from consumers at recent auto shows is the first indication that this year we’ll be seeing some interesting autos come alive.
So what’ll it be? A coupe? A sedan? A V8? Perhaps a turbo four-banger? The following 10 cars aren’t exactly for the faint-hearted, but mere instruments that will extend the grin on your face and a hell of a dent in your bank account.
Chevrolet SS
The Chevy SS is regarded as the spiritual successor to the fabled Impala SS, notably the popular ’94 – ’96 generation, of which many Chevy fans see as the last “true SS”. For power, it gains the 6.2-litre V8 from the Corvette, which is to be bolted to a 6-speed paddle-shift automatic – though that might change closer to the end of this year. Ironically, the SS is not at all related to the upcoming 2014 Impala, as it shares the same Australian RWD underpinnings as Holden’s Commodore model lineup, just as the infamous Pontiac G8 once did as well.
