Motor Trend TV had a segment on the SSR this past weekend. I believe it was on the Speed channel. Sorry about being so vague but having Tivo frees me from the network schedule and therefore I don't really pay much attention to exactly when it airs and from which channel it was recorded. If no one else has the specifics I can check my Tivo and get the specifics (I saved the program).
I believe it was #23 of the first 25 SSRs.
I thought I heard them say the weight was a hefty 3700 pounds!. I wish! It's 4700 pounds! They also thought the interior materials felt and looked cheap, especially for a $45,000 car.
I was not impressed with the story since they seemed to have a problem getting the statisics right.
They show the top being lowered and show it cruising around.
They basically take a wait and see approach as to whether it will be successful. They thought GM's money might have been better spent on a new Camaro. They made the often heard remark, "It's more of a boulevard cruiser than a race car, 0-60 in 7.7 seconds".
If I get time I'll watch it again tonight to get more details. I thought I'd go ahead and post this ASAP just in case it reruns soon.
