RRRR

A truly mis-understood vehicle. GM stuck its neck out because so many enthusiast said they would buy one. Then, they kept the sexy, retro look, but built it on a low performance drivetrain (Trailblazer). Two years later, even a hot 6.0/6 speed combo didn't help its sales. Last year, the plant was idle more than it was operational due to lack of demand. Friday, they build the last one.

Here's a story from the Lansing, Michigan paper (home of the Craft Centre where the SSR is/was built).

I have probably only seen about five of them on the road since their debut.

I've seen a few dozen. I always liked them, especially after the LS2, but thought they were probably $10K too expensive.

The Price was wrong
The marketing was wrong
And it was the answer to the question no one asked. Should've never been built and IMHO was a waste and drain of resources that could've been dedicated to other vehicles.

That was the stupidest vehicle Ive ever seen GM build in recent years. They kill off the Fbody and bring in that SSR POS, I wont miss it, thats for damn sure.

I hate SSRs. I might have liked it better if they weren't so heavy, and were priced more like a GTO than a Corvette, but I still don't care for the look.

All_Z_Way

I have seen a couple locally.

1st. Too expensive for the average enthusiast.
2nd.. Didn't have the performance to attract most enthusiast.
3rd. Targeted to too small of a group.
4th.. WAS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE F-BODY.

There are some brain dead folks running GM these days.

I never understood that vehicle!

I hated those things from the first day I saw one. I see them parked outside dealerships all the time, and I don't think I've ever seen one leave a lot.

Well i think you guys should be happy that is just another hint that the 5th Gen is coming out!

QUICK305

Never been a big fan of them.

Like most everyone else said, I thought they were too expensive and underpowered (until the LS2 became standard). And even with the LS2 I don't think they're exceptionally quick.

I did see a Trailblazer SS at a local Chevy dealer, and I have to admit, I like them.

I was never a big fan of them, but they were defiently unique. What pissed me off was that I only saw one with the top down the entire time they've been out. Why spend so much money on a truck thats a convertible, only to have the top and windows up, blasting AC?

Still one of the funnest vehicles I've driven.

R.I.P. SSR.

I went out car-hunting, seriously consided the SSR. Found it to be at least $10G overpriced, maybe more. Walked.

It was intended to be a limited production, limited model-year vehicle from the start. It was a "halo vehicle", intended to bring customers into the showroom. It did it's job.
