I'm didn't mean to knock the TS SS, but theres a couple things I don't understand/like about it:
-NO DUAL EXHAUST

, unforgiveable IMO!
-that white tach w/ black gauges, why

-doesn't have the current grill treatment, much cleaner IMO
-no upgraded brakes like the SRT-8
-outdated 4 spd auto, even if its re-calibrated, its still old and outdated

Now to be fair, what I do like about it:
-tried and true pushrod power

-the wheels are VERY nice

-2wd and AWD drive available

My wife says she'll always have an SUV due to how she feels behind the wheel of it. I'm trying to get her to lean towards the upcoming Buick Enclave (replacement for the Ranier and Rendezous), but I heard a rumor theres going to be an Equinox SS and that would probably make more sense due to her drive being longer now (we're moving) BTW, wheres Ford in all this, oh yeah, "moving ahead" or "Ford-ward ahead" or whatever they're doing nowadays
