No one is saying they wouldn't have problems moving them. They are saying it's downright ugly and slow. Great combination.

That is GMs primary mission - to make money.

They probably don't really care if you and I like their designs.

I had a 1951 Chevrolet Pickup, and I really liked the exterior styling. I updated it by putting a 1984 Chevrolet truck front clip on it. Then I added a 1979 Z28 Camaro engine, transmission, and rear end. I painted it but didn't lower the suspension or anthing like that. I was excited when I first heard about the SSR, but when I actually saw one I was dissapointed. What I really thought they should have done is make a retro styled full size truck. Simular styling as the 1947-53, not a covertable though. I would have bought one if I could actually haul things with it and treated it like a normal truck. The vehicle they designed would be totally useless to me.

Real-world benefit? The SSR grips the road with tenacity unusual for a vehicle weighing nearly two-and-one-half tons.

This mofo weighs 4700lbs.:Q

Good lord!

My feelings exactly.

I have a soft spot for the early '50s Chey PUs. Learned to drive in one and spent a lot of time in one as a kid, I was hoping this would be a useful PICKUP. I am disappointed, not in the look but the utility, or lack thereoff.
