Would You Buy One? 🤔

I am a lucky owner of a 2006 SSR ( final Production run) . I love the beast, it is useful, room for luggage, 2500lbs towing capacity, convertible and powerful. Just needed to change the radio for a Bluetooth one. I have no intention of selling it. I use it 6 months out of the year.

I'd buy one as long as gm doesnt overprice it beyond its actual worth.

I’ve always liked the SSR, but agree it was way overpriced when it came out. Yes it was a love hate relationship but I love the styling. Still do, for me it holds up way better than say the first Viper The original concept was supposed to be a sport truck, emphasis on the sport as in a big engine. I’d buy one but not in the incarnation you have shown. Looks to east LA to me. But also for me to buy one, they would have to have a humongous engine. Like a 6.2 supercharged with 700 or 800 hp. Then I’d consider.

I would like to se a Re-Imagined TrailBlazer SS. It was a Phenomenal SUV, that still holds it own even in todays world, not to mention, GM has several Options they could put in it for "Entry" level Price Points to from mild to Wild to take it to Jags F-E-I Pace, Porsche's Cayenne/Macan, Lamborghini's Urus etc. They could AFFORD to make a BOLD statement with a Small Batch/Limited Edition Run. Imagine a Entry Level V8, moving to a Twin Turbo V6 & an all Electric as a Stablemate. & YES! I do like the look of that NEW SSR, was also fond of the revamped 69 Chevelle

I actually own a2004 ssr .I love mine.59, 000 miles on it.I would by a new one if Gm would build a anniversary version.

[johnbehneman]

YES!!!! I WOULD BUY AN OLD ONE & A NEW ONE!!!! BOTH SUPERCHARGED!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[JMMH]

Actually, This is my wifes favorite vehicle. I am still trying to find one with the 6.0 but automatic for her. Nice clean low mileage examples are bring a LOT of money right now. I would consider buying one of these. I would however suggest an AWD version though

[stephenewing]

Yes I would probably buy one. My granddaughter likes the SSR and there’s one of the original ones in her neighborhood.

This is truly the answer to a question that no one asked.

I LOVED this and the Plymouth Prowler. Mainly because they weren't cookie cutter cars. And the SSR never got a chance to survive because it couldn't actually be used as a pickup and was only a 2 seater. Very limited audience. And in typical GM fashion they killed it off too soon. Hint hint Pontiac finally got the Fiero right with the GT. Then killed it.
THIS updated version is toooo busy looking.

I have a 2006 Chevy SSR & YES I would buy the new one if it was made. I Love this New Style Appearance

I own a 2004 SSR and, second to my 1937 Plymouth, 4 door customized sedan, it has really been a fun car to drive. Not dragster speed, but nice pipes and loads of looks and comments. the best part is the fact that it is a hard-top convertible. Great Bose sound. At 17.3 mpg, it really isn't that bad for a V8. New enough to have some of the more modern tech, but retro enough to be unique. Like anything, you're probably going to like them or not. Personally, I'm a fan and love driving it. By the way, mine is for sale.

[jamesdunn]

Nope. Maybe if it were bigger and the front end was more like the original but went down closer to the ground

[jamesbaca]

I had a pacific blue 2006 crome edition, loved it! I would buy one again!

[sutterpark]

It will be likely to be price wise $30, 00 and up to $54, 000 over price

[daviddonahoe]

I would love one. Although I prefer the original look. I would like to have a wider cab. I little higher ride height. And, maybe a turbo charged boxer engine. You can not forget all of the recent gadgets (reverse camera, in lane assist, adaptive cruise control).

[heritagecarpetcleaningrest]

I would buy one. I would have bought the old ones at least the 2006 model

[iSCORPIONNEXT]

I would buy one if they made upgrades that look just like this one. I do like them. It's a Chevy. Not just a piece of shivy! At least make it roar loud!

[frankdawe]

When are we all going to accept the fact that the days of the V8 are numbered? Gas prices are never going back down to pre-pandemic levels, for various reasons, so buyers will be looking for fuel efficient vehicles or even electric. What's wrong with slapping the new turbo four in there along with a fun-to-drive manuel?

[donaldhenderson]

Yes, I would buy one. I can picture the Cadillac CT-5 Blackwing power plant under the hood.
