The SS looked plain, had a crap interior, crap electronics, and GM's famous crap reliability. It just goes to show how stupid GM's management continues to be by allowing such a product to reach the market. While I don't think the Kia Stinger will be a hot seller either, I admire Kia for actually putting effort into their RWD sport sedan. It looks great, the interior seems nice for what it is, and the electronics will be modern.
I can't think of many desirable vehicles from GM.

GM has plenty of nice vehicles...off the top of my head: CT6, CTS, ATS, XT5, New Malibu, New Lacrosse, Impala, C7 Corvette, Camaro, Volt, Bolt, Full-size trucks, full-size SUV's, mid-size trucks, Regal GS, Chevy SS, new Acadia, upcoming Traverse, etc.
The SS run was going to come to an end no matter what, the Holden factory is closing and it wouldn't make sense to shift production to US for an old car.
