ORIGINAL: Clear Image Auto
But, (and my wife and I own a 2005 Durango with 5.7 Hemi), Dodge also sticks the "Hemi" badge on quite a few vehicles for marketing purposes as well.

RE: Chevy ss
True, they have HEMI's in them, but they are not the "HEMI" engine most of us remember. Nor are they the "HEMI" engine Dodge would have us believe they are. But, they own the rights to the badge, and the engines installed are technically "HEMI's", so why not use it for marketing.
As far as the "SS" badge, it was used on many vehicles around the same time the original "HEMI" was used. The "SS" badge was never reserved as having to be installed on a car which meets any specific requirements. So GM can also use it for marketing, which I already agreed they do, way too much.

RE: Chevy ss
hahaaha!!! personally, i think GM is not "crap" by anymeans. a few years ago dodge was nothing but crappy cars. then as soon as they brought the hemi back, dodge fans thought they were the ****. yes GM might not be the best car brand in the world, but they do have good cars. dont get me wrong i love dodge also, but im not soo close minded that i have to obsess over one brand..i like my american cars. so for everyone who is bashing GM for using the SS name, theres nothing wrong with it at all. just bc something has SS doesnt mean its gotta have a big V8 and rear drive. for those who dont remember, SS began as just a apperance package..a way to get some more chrome inside and bucket seats.......but the whole idea of SS was making a car that looked cooler, and had some upgrades such as brakes, suspension, different wheels, etc.
