I see a GM LS in my future...

Thinking something along the lines of a RWD sedan with a 6MT!

Would that be the Chevy SS perchance?
AKA the Pontiac (RIP) GS8?
AKA the Holden Commodore?

Mercury Grand Marquis LS? Plenty of Mercury Marauder parts from the early '00's would bolt right in...

I'm really liking this sound: 2007 CTS-V SNL V-4 CAM cold start - YouTube

And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGc2SGNgwcQ

Caddys aren't supposed to make that kinda noise!

The 2014 Impala SS will not be offered with a six speed. The G8 GT and GXP were, but the SS is automatic only.

That is, at this time. If customers keep coming in and demanding them then who knows? But the demand for them was so low in the G8 that GM decided to just not offer them here.

Agreed. I went with the Caddy because you don't seem the type to purchase a defunct brand. Where do you get parts for them?
