IMO Really shouldn't be called an R... (or even an RS, or GTS, or...) "Badge engineering" at its best. Eric(magnetic1) said it best "At least w/ a (Camaro) SS you get a better motor"

It's been discussed on other forums to death that I did not even see the need to put it here; a disappointing vehicle IMHO.
