The all-new SSR, coming from Chevrolet.

This thing is pretty ugly but very interesting. I personally wouldn't buy one.

Personally, my 2 most favorite cars that i like (and have a chance to own) are a 12 sec 91 or 92 Z28 jet black with 5 speed t tops or a 12 second 87 93 stang gt 5 speed jet black with wheels cowl hood etc..... i think my next car will be a 93 cobra after im done with the 'ROC

I don't like it either. The mirrors look funny all the way up there. And I don't see what your personal favorite cars has to do with anything, Imports, but a Stang? Come on...

I think those Mustangs look nasty. They look too much like more of a family car... too square. But whatever floats your boat. You're gonna keep the IROC, right?

Hate to disagree with all of ya, but the new SSR is absoluetly wicked looking in person. Pictures just don't do it justice. I'm hoping to get one of the first ones produced. This is gonna be one **** of a sweet cruiser.

I think it says Chevrolet. Without those funny mirrors and that front spoiler deal, I think it would look pretty nice.

Since when does an early 50's Chev pickup look like a Chrysler? That is what the SSR is styled after, and it really looks a lot like the older pickup, especially from the front. Thats like saying the new T-bird looks like a Chrysler, or the C5 looks like a Chrysler, or the current Camaro looks like a Chrysler (oh wait it DOES look like a Chrysler, bad example ).

Even Chevy has an red R on that website.

I guess this is an attempt to lure some import people who believe in the POWER OF THE R

What a crock of $h*t!

I read that they were also going to put the new LS6 Corvette engine in the SSR.
