Anyone see "Test Drive" on Speedvision tonight?

Anyone see the program "Test Drive" on Speedvision tonight? They reviewed the SSR, Malibu Maxx, and Colorado.

They loved the SSR seemingly. They had two out on the track and it was actually pretty neat seeing two SSR's power sliding around corners. They also took it out for a cruise and it looked pretty cool just cruising down the street top down and shiny. And they praised Chevy for building a car "dedicated to having fun", in their words.

They also liked the Maxx and Colorado. They liked the fact that the Colorado was a bigger mid-sized truck and they said that the truck felt alot more solid than the S-10 that it replaced. And one thing that struck me when they showed the Maxx was the backseat room! I know this was in another thread not long ago but the room is incredible. Two adults could easily stretch their legs out on a long trip and kick back and watch a DVD on its entertainment system and be compeletely comfortable. Also there seems to be tons of storage room in the back, and even more with the rear seats folded down. I didnt like the Maxx at first glance, but now I would take a Maxx over a Malibu sedan anyday.

What surprises me is that the Maxx is actually shorter than the sedan! I suppose the longer wheelbase of the Maxx in addition to the hatchback help to increase it's interior space.

If I needed a family car, I would certainly look into one.

A guy I know from work, who is getting married soon, is a Saab fanatic. Just sold his to buy a Malibu Sedan. He says he loves it. The fact that it's a "saab" chassis makes him feel a little less guilty.

I'm envious. After seeing that thing cruising with the top down, it looks like it would be a great car to own. Congrats on the purchase

The SSR needs the LQ9 and a T-56. It would be perfect then. (topped off with ported LS6 heads)
