spoons Prowler Junkie Posts: 2083 From: West Palm Beach, FL Registered: SEP 2000	posted 08-12-2003 07:02 AM The new SSR looks pretty cool ... but the Chevy SSR is a pig... how does something that size weight nearly 4800 pounds. 0-60 in 7.8 sec. I give it 3 years in production! No one wants a high volume (15,000 a year) niche vehicle that is a 2 seater convertible with NO performance (New T-bird). Plus the price in $42k, if dealers put a $5k premium on it which would take it to $47k... if your spending that much you mind as well get a vette or Z06! Prowler is STILL top Dog amoung all the retros! ------------------ Brian K.

They had a big to-do about it in their show room, including the local oldies station airing their broadcast from there. The car does nothing for me. Not my style, I guess. By the way, my wife and I were the only ones there to look at it.

DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 08-12-2003 04:45 PM When this vehicle hits the dealerships at such a high price tag,I can see there being a lot of ready available stock for sale. what percentage of the market spends over $40000 on the car? Probably not very many.Anything that is new on the market will be appealing for a while until it becomes mass produced .Does anyone look twice at a Bimmer or even a Corvette these days? SSR is going to sell well in the beginning until the novelty wears off.GM can only sell their vehicles when they are heavily incentivized(0% finance,cashbacks)and this car will without a doubt face the same. Just my 2 cents.

Black Tie 161 Prowler Junkie Posts: 3563 From: MD, USA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 08-14-2003 07:35 AM The Sidewinder looks so much cooler than the SSR. So GM ripped off Dodge's design???
mdavidjensen Prowler Junkie Posts: 38 From: Tukwila,WA,USA Registered: MAY 2003	posted 08-15-2003 03:38 PM I looked at getting an SSR but the fully equiped MSRP was 46500 and the dealer up here in Washington wanted a $12000 markup on it. It was coming out to $62000 after everything. I walked away until it is in the dealer and I can drive it. And seeing if it comes down in price. M. David Jensen
spoons Prowler Junkie Posts: 2083 From: West Palm Beach, FL Registered: SEP 2000	posted 08-20-2003 03:03 PM I saw a black SSR with MI Manufacture plates this weekend in the VIP parking at the 85th PGA Championship in Rochester, NY. I assume it probably was one of the GM Exes in town for the tournament since Cadillac had a Corporate tent. I thought it looked ok, but the 5 other people all agreed it was UGLY... along with the 2 other couple walking by it. I Just don't understand how something that small can weight 3,800 lbs! This PIG needs a diet
