I always liked the SSR from the minute I saw the first picture. Test drove an '05 last week and most of the things that I did not like about the '03 have been fixed. They have a nice ride and the top down turbulence is minimal. Stills weighs to much but the extra power really helps. Not that important to me but with all the space in the bed, it is almost a practical car!

Still like it and as soon as GM steps up with a decent rebate I will have another. Will be interesting to watch the pricing if GM decides to kill it off after '05 or '06.

Check out the car and driver review of this one. They toasted it, they say For the money you can find a much faster & better ride.

Be careful with this one , just about every car mag said the same thing about the Prowler after it had been out for a while.

I like the new Mustang, and it looks cool coming down the road, but the interior was just a huge dull expanse of chunky black plastic....a real turn off. I saw a GT in person, and saw how much $$ I'd have to put into it to enjoy it...IE: A shaker hood, interior trim, and beefier exhaust.

If this link doesn't work for you, go to google & enter
"Chevrolet SSR Production halt". The link you want will be right on top.

A neighbor of ours worked on the finance team for that product last year. She spoke of GM's intention to offer a standard shift trans but NOT before the '06 model. At this rate, it might not happen. I must admit, as a died in the wool "Blue Oval" fan, I lusted for the SSR. My issue with it, is that it's just too damned heavy; by about 1,200 lbs. Like the GTO, it's just priced to far out there. Doomed to fail. Also, I don't know WHY they felt it needed to be built on the Trailblazer chassis, Waaaaaaaaay to heavy to start with.
Just my opinion.
