The other day my dad saw a yellow one in my town. I don't know why there would be one in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, but oh well.

I didn't care for it until I saw the red one at the Bowling Green event, but I must admit that seeing it in person really changed my opinion. I especially like the interior and the way the top folds out of sight. It's very cool to watch.

I have liked the SSR since day one. Then I went to Carlisle and seen it in person and man is this thing sweet. I wish I could afford one. I also saw the Chevy SS and Pontiac G6 and thought the same. These are some really nice vehicles. Hats off to all involved

I'm almost positive that I saw the SSR concept for the first time, and the same detroit auto show where I saw the pt cruiser concept. Since then, the pt cruiser has been produced, new cruiser models introduced, and people have gotten bored of the whole thing, and the ssr is still not in production. I hope if gm is actually going to make a solstice, it won't follow the same timeline.

1997 Plymouth Pronto Concept and 1998 Plymouth Pronto Cruizer are what the PT Cruiser is based off. The SSR concept was first shown at the 2000 auto show curciut.

I was sad to see the Production SSR didn't get tap-shift or the 6.0L V8 like the concept had. I'm sure it will get a Manual trans. and some more power in the coming years. SSR is a very cool truck, I'd love to have a Silver one, but I'm saving up for a 2006 C6 or GTO.
