Consumer Description
YOU KNOW WHEN MY SON BOUGHT THIS CAR, I KNOW HE THOUGHT HE HAD THE BEST, THIS IS PART OF YOUR REVIEWS. NEW FOR 2006 ARE SS SEDAN AND COUPE MODELS WITH NORMALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES. THESE NEW SS MODELS FIT BETWEEN THE LT AND SS SUPERCHARGED MODELS. THEIR PRICE, POWER AND PERFORMANCE AND BODY WORK ARE ALL TONED DOWN FROM THE SS SUPERCHARGED COUPE, BUT THEY'RE SPORTY CARS AND POSSIBLY THE BEST CHOICE IN THE LINEUP, BOASTING 171-HORSEPOWER ENGINES AND SPORTS SUSPENSIONS.THIS CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO HANDLE GOOD. BUT NOW HE IS DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. DO YOU PEOPLE AT CHEVORLET EVEN KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL OR WHAT KIND OF EMOTION A PARENT GOES THROUGH WITH LOSING A CHILD AND HOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED. I WILL NEVER SEE HIM GET MARRIED, HAVE CHILDREN. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM, FEEL HIM, TELL HIM I LOVE HIM. YES, I'M HURT. I WANT YOU TO PAY FOR THE MESS YOU HAVE DONE FOR MY SON'S LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS. BECAUSE YOU GUYS HID THIS MESS FOR YEARS YOU KNEW. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOO GET INJURED OR DIE. JUST LOOK AT ALL THE RECALLS JUST FOR THIS CAR. JUST TO THINK CHEVROLET HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF VEHICLES WE HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN. *TR
