Research a New Car - 2004 Chevrolet SSR
From the hood to the B-pillar, SSR looks like a bubbly sport coupe, but its design defies categorization behind the B-pillar, where the pick-up cargo bed meets the storage compartment for the convertible roof. The SSR cabin is a 'twin-cockpit design' used by Chevy in several other vehicles. A brushed metal cross bar cuts the dash in half horizontally, echoing the chrome accent bar that slices across the car's exterior front end. Although SSR has a bold new design and a respectable powertain, it is not yet clear whether customers need - or, more importantly, want - a roaster-like truck convertible. In an effort to build excitement around the new crossover's launch, Chevy has created an ambitious marketing campaign for the first 25 saleable SSR models, dubbed the Signature Series.
PickupTruck.Com: 2003 Chevrolet SSR
The SSR draws its retro looks from the 1953 Chevrolet pickup. The SSR wears the same full-width, barred grille and rounded headlights and fenders as its fifties predecessor. However, it includes some modern features such as a two-piece power retractable hardtop and a covered bed.

2006 Chevrolet - Detailed Pricing and Specifications - MSN Autos
The SSR is a high-performance pickup truck from Chevrolet that takes its styling cues from the Chevrolet trucks of the 1940s. The most unique feature of the SSR is a power-retractable hardtop that is the first ever applied to a pickup-style vehicle. The 2006 Chevrolet SSR adds a new intake manifold and revised engine tuning to increase power to 400 horsepower when equipped with the available 6-speed manual transmission. Power remains at 395 horsepower with the standard 4-speed automatic transmission. A two-tone appearance package is offered with either Smokin' Asphalt over Ricochet Silver Metallic or Ricochet Silver Metallic over Smokin' Asphalt.
Chevrolet SSR car reviews
Chevrolet SSR logo One of the happier results of a new spurt of special-purpose cars and trucks is the Chevrolet SSR, a truck with almost universal appeal, thanks to its attractive design, formidable performance, and pleasant ride. Thanks to ample low-rpm power, this engine provides sudden acceleration whenever it's demanded, with kick limited only by the traction control (which can be shut off rather easily from the center console). The burbling muscle-car exhaust instantly turns into a full modified-muscle roar on heavy throttle, as the transmission immediately downshifts. There's no cushioning in the transmission - when it shifts, it does so quickly and often with a jolt, as it should in a car like this. No matter how fast or slow the SSR is going, it can instantly be flung forward at will or whim. The power is unlike that of most modern cars; you don't have to worry about revving, you don't have to wait for the transmission to catch up, and you don't have to deal with "torque management" as the engine cuts its own power for smooth, transmission-saving shifts. The ride is good for a high-performance vehicle, especially one based on a truck (the minivan-like TrailBlazer). While rather firm, it does cushion bumps and road problems so that driving the SSR brings you close to the road but doesn't actually hit you with it.
Ward's Auto World: The Heat Is On - Chevrolet SSR
First, SSR is a truck. That categorization is easier to make than previously thought, as it's built off GM's 360 midsize SUV (Chevy TrailBlazer) platform (kudos to GM for coming up with an off-the-wall derivative).
CanadianDriver: Feature - 2005 Chevrolet SSR vs 1949 Studebaker
SSR sells poorly because it's a poser. You won't buy one if you're not into hot rods, and if you are, you'll take the real thing. The tax on SSR will get you a clean, safe, unique hot rod you can take to car shows (SSR is barred from most because it's too new); 80 grand will get you a jaw-dropping masterpiece. Or five 1949 Studebakers.
