Chevy SSR's spotted!

Post by Triton »

I was in a different building that I usually am at work earlier today and I seen three bright yellow Chevy SSR's driving nose to tail, heading towards one of the other GM plants here in town. They looked pretty cool. I have never seen the around here before so it was kind of cool seeing a non production vehicle on the road. A couple of monts ago, me and a friend of mine seen one of the new Cadillac SRXs as well.

Same here Sputnik. The pace car looks awesome. I just thought it was really cool to see three of those driving in a line.

There is a yellow Chevy SSR at my local Chevrolet dealer out in front of the building on display. I still haven't had a chance to stop by and check it out up close and browse the sticker for options but hope to this week.

A Lexus dealer in Cherry Hill, NJ has a Red one on their used car lot. I'm not exactly sure how they got one, but it seems this dealer has connections, because they also had a PT Cruiser when they first came out also.The SSR looks much better in person than in the pictures.

There is one at a dealer in Delaware that I spotted today. I wanted to get a better look but the dealer had it on a roll back in front of his show room so people didn't climb all over it.

I've liked the SSR since I saw sketches of the concept version published in Motor Trend a few years back. I'd love to see one in person.

That one is cool.Why the hell won't Pontiac do a kickass chill-down-your-back commercial like that, featuring the Vibe, GTO, G6, Solstice, Pursuit...Chevy is the only one that gets DECENT advertising. Yeah, they were the original GM brand. But still, how do you expect your subsidaries to survive with sub-par lousy advertising???Caddy, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn, Olds (even though they're fading fast), and Saab all seem to get SHAFTED on airtime. Only 'mercials I see on a regular basis are Chevy and GMC.GRR I say!Sorry to hijack the thread...

i love how it rips the 180 on the highway, then, without stopping, rips in reverse, hauling booty up the ramp...
