Yet another article authored by those who do not "get it." Not only are there plenty of digs about the vehicle itself ("waste of a corvette engine"), but they even trashed the colors and color names as "cheesey."
The one interesting comment (which others have made previously--Rebel I think) is the intriguing idea if Chevrolet would have offered a stripped down light weight version with no convertible roof, no tonneau--just a retro styled flat bed with the LS2--more in the true muscle car tradition. They very well might have sold a lot more vehicles!
As much as I love being able to "go topless" I have always preferred the overall look of the vehicle with the top up. The thought of having a light weight muscle pick up with that incredible styling does have its appeal. How many Fanatics would have been interested in this version of the SSR?
