Limited Edition (only 25) "Signature Series" SSR
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=05957805
Supposedly pre-full production specials... limited to only 25.
One thing I noticed from the pics is it looks like they ditched the "Chevy Spear" across the rear of the vehicle. that was on the concept, and I thought, the later "production model" prototype...
Looks cleaner without it, IMO....

I'm not a big retro fan at all but I do like the SSR.
I like it because it isn't a total rip-off of Chevy's long-past trucks, it uses cues and wraps them in more modern sheetmetal, especially in the rear. I did like the concept version better though.

Is it just me, or is the SSR taking way too long to get to market? I'm pretty sure I saw the SSR for the first time at the same detroit auto show where I saw the pt cruiser concept. Since then, pt cruiser has made it to market, and been there long enough for people to start getting bored of it, and yet, still no SSR. What gives?

Hopefully the crop of cars on display next month will be developed faster. If not, we won't see them on the street till 2006 as 2007s.

SSR isn't even out yet, and it seems old.

I believe it was only 2000 that it was unveiled as a concept, so going to production in 3 years is still pretty quick--especially for the "old" GM.I was reading this story on AutoWeek a couple days ago and someone stopped me remarking over it and wandering what it was, so I don't think the general public is bored with it yet.

Great, another truck. Only this time it's round and bulbous.
If there is no market for an F-Car, then where is the market for this thing?
