That's the one. The SSR.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was surprised to find out it wasn't selling as good as they expected.
I first saw it on the road and was all, "WHAT IS THAT?" Then I was driving by a Chevy dealership and it was in the window. I had to stop and go look at it. I was completely in love with it but the base price was way over my head. It started a good 14k above what the Beetle cost me out the door.

From what I've read folks who have purchased the SSR are not impressed with the power either. It doesn't seem to match up with the price and the the appearance.

Yeah, I was briefly in love with it, until I found out the list price.

For me, I don't think the power would've been an issue. I only have a 2.0L, which is 115 HP or something. The SSR would feel like a Ferrari in comparison.
But, oh, the sticker shock.

I'm still a little head spinny over what I just spent on my new car. Yeah the SSR just seems to be priced badly.
That's where the Beetle is such a home run. Great styling and actuallu priced within reach of the people that are most likely to be attracted to it.

That was pretty much what made me go for it. It was a little more than I should've spent but not so much more that I had to give up food.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The Plymouth Prowler was another one.

I actually think the SSR is an unbelieveably ugly car. And I generally like incredibly ugly cars, but not this one.
