Would anyone have bought one of these?

No, I wouldn't. I don't like the SSR and I don't like that concept either.

Hmm.. i woulda called it an HHR, kept the 5.3, or the LS2, and made it a 2 door station wagon.. wow that might have been really cool!

I think that would be cooler than the current SSR. :p

Nope, that is no more interesting to me than the SSR (not at all).

It's basically what the HHR is. Rumors on C&G were that the General was in consideration of a "wagon like" vehicle based off the SSR. That spawned the HHR given the subtle syling and such.

For what its worth. The HHR will be a hit. The more I see it....the more I actually considering owning one.

There's not enough information to say "Yes, I'll buy it", but I've been an advocate of a lower, more aerodynamic, full frame, utility type vehicle that has at least a 5,000# tow rating for quite some time. I just don't get why one needs to pay the "brick" penalty all year long to be able to tow a couple of times a year. :(

hmmmmmmmmm....i think i woulda considered it. i always liked panel trucks(i have a 63 dodge town panel with a 440 in it) so i probably would have gave it some heavy consideration before i got my last truck.

No doubt that thing will be a hit! :bow:

I initially felt it was a PT wannbe. Now, after actually seeing those things, they're pretty awesome.

While the PT Cruiser looks like a 40-ish retro-wagon (cool in it's own right), the HHR looks like a customized 50s hotrod! For those of you who haven't seen on on the streets yet, it looks like it has a chopped top, aftermarket tail lights & grille, and the body work looks almost customized. the windows look like Chrysler 300-like gun-slits. It all gives the HHR a modern look.

Despite how it looks in pictures, I have a hard time calling it "retro". The thing actually looks modern.

Wierd, huh? :confused:

And they need to pull these exact things off with the Camaro too... ;)

I am one of the few who actually like, the SSR. So for me it's a no brainer, that looks pretty sweet as well IMO! :cool: And yeah the HHR, up close looks really nice too! I think it will do very well.

I like the SSR to as well but there are two things going against it.

1) 2 Seater on a "Truck".
2) Expensive - for just a hair more you can have a better performing Corvette. Unless you just LOVED the styling of the SSR over the Vette it does not make sense to buy one.

But this is IMO

:no:

I like the SSR but don't like that at all.

Nomad???

Nomad???

hmmmm...didn't think of it that way. that would make a cool nomad.

A turd is still a turd, no matter which way you squish it.... so no! :D

I'd drive one.

I prefer the SSR actually. If I was rich I would buy it, mod it, and make it my daily driver :)

An SSR Sedan Delivery would be cool. :)

An SSR Sedan Delivery would be cool. :)
I agree, and the lack of the folding roof, could bring costs way down too! :alert:

No...

:irk: Nope.

The SSR would be cool if it didn't feel like driving a high powered dumptruck.

It has the Trailblazers steering box, which is like almost 4 turns lock to lock :eek:...plus it leans like mad. It is a pretty fast vehicle.....but it definatly is scary if you push it...

"Breadwagon" even with that name alone I wouldn't want to buy it.

I belive they call that a "Trailblazer SS" now....

LS2 and 6spd? In a heartbeat. :D

What would it be called, SSP? ;)

SSPX :metal:

I'd buy it if it were based off the y body Corvette or a future RWD car architecture. If it drove like a fast truck or fast "breadwagon", then what's the point? It will not appeal to enthusaists. It will not appeal to the practical SUV driver because a Tahoe will have two more doors, tow more, carry more people and stuff for the same amount(or less) $$$.

If a vechile is not going to have the work ethic of a truck, then it shouldn't be based off a truck(SSR, cough, cough).

It would make a great tow vehicle if it wasn't too expensive.
