i saw this about a week ago, and it was a great watch. He loved the SS/SC, and i dont think he really said anything bad about it.

That was sweet man. I like Tommy Kendall. He didn't waste any time gettin' her up to speed either. The camera angle option was a very nice touch and the exhaust note sounded great. Nice post mang!!

I like how he said the opposite about seats and materials that most reviews say. I guess he realizes that this car is NOT in the same class as a GTi, etc...

his review was spot on and unbiased in my opinion.... he seems to really like the car and its features!
Tommy Kendall is the MAN!!!

This is an awesome spotlight for us, but anyone else notice the awesome SS logo under the hood. My 07 doesn't have that... and also for 07, the Daytime Running Lights (government mandated in Canada) are the lowbeam headlights on low power as compared to previous models' parking lights.
Great find anyway!

FYI - Not to dampen the party or anything but you guys noticed on the first page (the one where you select the vehicle) they mention that this area is "manufacturer sponsored". Pretty sure the manufacturers pay to have their car spotlighted and if anyone has ever dealt with sponsorships (I have) you only say favourable things about them.

It is a cool style of review though and would have made me want to buy an SS/SC even more prior to me buying mine.

I believe he stated that the SS logoed hood piece was an aftermarket piece you can buy from GM.
