That's sharp!

 

yea theres a red one in the showroom here right next to a new black z06...pretty sharp

 

 

thats how i felt riding in your saturn.

 

They have an SSR by my place.While I think it "looks" different and it does in a way look nice (not that Im pointing out the proportions are off)?I feel this vehicle is just WAY over priced like the Pacifica and SS truck (before massive incentives) for what you get...And the new Caddy crossover.

Just my .02.....

 

At 10,000 units a year, we know that the SSR is not everyone's cup of tea.......and early on, I wasn't crazy about us spending the development dollars for the SSR.

With that said........

I've been driving a "Captive Fleet Development Vehicle" (units are built early and kept within the corp. to ensure that everything works as it should and to ensure the quality/reliability is there) for about 90 days now, and I can tell you that I've NEVER driven a vehicle that has gotten so much attention.

--not the 3rd gen Fbody (which, in itself got a ton of positive attention when it first hit the streets.......not the 4th gen, not the C4 or the C5.......... (all of which I thought got a ton of attention)

Pull into a 7-11 or a service plaza on the Ohio pike at 2:30 am and it gets surrounded...........people stop in their tracks during the daytime (and this is in Detroit where 'new stuff' is seen all the time.......)

Interestingly enough, the price is, at first blush, too high in my mind if I don't think about the costs associated with developing a new vehicle. However, when people ask me what the price is, more often than not, the answer is "well, that's not bad at all!" (which, if I didn't hear it as often as I do, I wouldn't believe it either........)

I guess it's because it doesn't look like anything else on the road......even close to anything else on the road......

The top is a sight to behold as it folds up into a very small space.....and people grin like little children as they watch. Even as we move the SSR into autoshows, the workers gather around it........and let's face it, they see just about everything.......

So.......will it be a success? And if so, for how long? Time will tell....but the reaction I've gotten thusfar over 90 days in several states is overwhelmingly positive.........

Opinion? Red is the best color............

 

$40 grand for the SSR isn't much when compared to the Silverado SS (also at 40, grand).

BTW: If anyone is having trouble finding an SSR, Corimier (sp) Cheverolet, off the 405 in Carson has at least 5 of them. He has 5 on display on atop of his display building, visable from the freeway.

It has nothing to do with the lack of sales. This dealer is famous around LA for keeping 100 Corvettes in stock.......and no, I am NOT exagerating!

Only in LA.

 

Too heavy, too slow, too ugly. Too many too's

 

I am not an SSR fan, but I can see why some people would like it...

The price is too high, IMO as well... BUT... at least GM has a low sales goal, and it does show they are willing to build 'niche' vehicles with realisitic sales figures...

Most of the LS1 crowd is less than impressed.

Some of the comments border on hysterics.

 

I have yet to see one in person. (sniff sniff)

 

I've seen a few, and I got to watch the hardtop in action at Bowling Green. It's really cool to watch, I must say. I still haven't decided if I like it or not, although I definitely like the interior. I suppose it is nice to see something that actually looks different and, in my opinion, not hideous (like so many other new vehicles) on the road. So far I like it in black the best.

 

From ls1.com board:
the thing is, its probably true.

 

I saw one yesterday in a parking lot. Somebody likes them.

Good for them.

 

They look good (as long as you like retro) and the retractable hardtop is cool. I bet if it came with 400HP and a 6 speed manual it would have been praised around here. Not everyone has HP as high on the priority list as us Camaro fans.
