IDK, those are popular in Australia with the muscle-car crowd. Plus, it will be a big hit with the El Camino/Ranchero lovers Im sure. Time will tell....

I think it will find its' share of buyers who are discouraged with how large the smallest pick-up's have become. Over the past 10yrs., i've noticed many more tradespeople going to station wagons(Taurus/Sable/Magnum). The expensive lesson that GM may get, is that this thing is going to steal Colorado/Canyon sales if gas continues to spiral.

The SSR was never intended for work. It's a convertible pick-up truck with a miniscule cargo bed. Sunny day toy.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say earlier that I think the SSR is about the fugliest, retarded, underperforming, overpriced POS "truck" ever. I cant believe that hideous, fugly contraption has somewhat of a following. I guess they had the SSR's window sticker in brail, as the blind were the only people who bought them things.

Easy, brikag . . . My SSR turned three last month and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Thankfully, not every wants a "cookie cutter" type vehicle.

Its a production vehicle, identical to the other SSRs that rolled off the line. Its cookie-cutter, but low production.

Hey Bummer, Did you see Steve-O's post before you posted yours? My comments were pretty mild!

I joke!!!!!! don't hate me, I'm fragile.

Still more practical than a Corvette-------and, a 6.0L SSR is a fast son-of-a-gun

You can bet that it will be way overpriced and will probably be discontinued after a few years like all of the other specialty vehicles before it.
