I happen to own a Black 1985 Monte Carlo SS with a 406 and a 12bolt rear-end. I was planning on a T-56 for this winter. All that said this Chevy built Monte Carlo is a beauty, but I really would have liked to see some good interior shots so I could get a look at the recaro seating, I'd be very interested in seeing what model they chose and how it looked in the car.

I would very much like to see a GM competitor for the FRS.

I do not know what the constraints on a automotive engineer are, but is it possible to sale a car that perhaps is made up of usable but archaic technology? I mean, there is nothing wrong with a 350HO, its got 330hp... I realize there are safety and environmental concerns, but what is possible?

I happen to own Scion FR-S and I felt I had to speak in light of some of the criticisms. While I agree that the car is often wanting for power and might not be as attractive or desirable as the MX 5 or the S2000, I feel I speak for SOME of the buyers of this product when I say that it was never our intention to buy the ultimate sports car when the purchase was made. For me, I already own a hot-rodded 85 Monte Carlo SS that hogs all my money and I wanted to have something fun to drive during the cold half of the year, something that I did not have to worry about getting stolen while I was at work, something that was still fun enough that when the old car was in the shop I could still go out and have an enjoyable cruise, something enjoyable to wash (Which strangely I enjoy), basically a pleasant and FUN daily driver. I'm 6'5 and I'm comfortable behind the wheel , its two-door, rear-wheel drive, it was relatively inexpensive and does get some attention by pedestrians if that is your thing. Sure I went out and looked at a V6 Mustang and Camaro (Having already a V8 in the MC), but I did not have the heart to ruin such a car with repeated Canadian winters, I think we have to get away from merely focusing on the extremity of a vehicle's performance at a barometer of its overall value. Oh and by the way, the FRS is far better in the snow that one might expect and quite a bit of fun! I got to take my Monte Carlo out, cheers!

As an owner of an FR-S, I'm interested to see if a convertible model comes to dealerships.

Never was a great fan of these. I work at the Toyota plant in Cambridge Ontario and even there these where might scarce.

I do not know my specs like a lot of you guys, but this reminds me of the Mercury Marauder that came out in the early 2000's. Even though I do not think that car sold over well, it was kind of a nice car in retrospect and I doubt anyone would be disappointed having bought this new SS. It might not be everything hoped for, but it looks like a nice car to me.

Its a nice looking little car, IMO

As an owner of a Scion FR-S, I would be very interested in a convertible variant, the more options the better in my opinion. Though perhaps a convertible is thought to be philosophically inconsistent with what the FR-S is, I've always heard that loosing the roof adds weight and worsens handling, and what is an FR-S without ether of those things?
