+1 The G8 has some edges whereas the SS is mostly all curves. It makes it look a little bit vanilla in comparison.

One thing about the SS - its body has much more sculpted look - maybe you have to see it in person, but the G8 in comparison looks a little slab-sided. The SS still looks like an oversized Malibu, or maybe a larger last-gen Infiniti.

I did watch the entire review eventually, I actually did enjoy the two reviewers, especially since there were two sides. It would have been nice to get a little more technical, though.

I'm a fan of the car, nice to be subtle looking but still have some power, and it sounds great. I would pick it over the Dodge. I bet this thing reacts very well to mods - e.g. take out the ashtray and get 30whp.

They don't do technical. That seems to be the dull road & track/car and driver. These two focus on feel, road handling and interior. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of their reviews and their ability to communicate the differences.

It's a fresh change to the very passionless C&D stuff.

Oh god, I avoid C&D like the plague - buncha old men that complain about design changes and complex radios.
