No More SSR's
The News is GM will not make the SSR after 05. Slow sales, down 12% this year. You should buy an 05 NOW!

2006
The end of production for the 2004 MY was August 20, so the 2005 MY started after that date, not in April. GM gas not made a decision to end production after the 2005 model, but they will reduce the output of the LCC plant by 50% when the line starts back. Stay tuned, but with the deals on the current models available, why wait? Every day you wait is a day without the joy of driving this sweet ride. :cool

There will be a 2006MY SSR. As for changes, stay tuned.
But as was said, an '05 is as great a ride as you'll find, so why wait?!

·Same thing with the Thunderbird. Ford even announced a "new" 2006 color, "Lime Sorbet", before they pulled the plug. :mad
Just not enough sales to make it profitable, Ford, and GM are loosing money on almost everyone sold.

Future of the
Continuation of the SSR beyond the 2005 MY is tenuous. Chevrolet reports they have a 300 day supply of SSR's on hand now (a 60 day inventory is normal).
Rumors on other websites indicate that in order to continue the SSR, Chevy needs to breath "new life" into the product. Those rumors include a sedan delivery type panel truck version of the SSR.
My advice is if you want to see the SSR line continue, in either roadster or panel truck versions, write to Chevrolet and let them know your thoughts and desires NOW!!! Don't wait until they've already made the decision to kill it, and then complain because they did.

why would I want to keep the line going? I know the parts will be the issue if they stop but I much rather see a limited amount of SSR on the road. Just my 2 cents...
continued production
I dare say, if your wish is for GM to continue production of the SSR into 06, perhaps the best strategy would be to convince them that there is a demand. That would best be accomplished by everyone here rushing out to thier dealer and placing an order for, oh say, 5 - 10 each !! C'mon people, let's get behind this !!!! And tell all your non-SSR friends to do the same ! :lol

It would help if they would advertise the darn thing and promote it!!
I can't tell you how many times people ask me "what is that?" "Who makes it!"
Even with the Chevy "bowtie" emblem on it!! duh!
Most people have never seen one!

·Nope, and neither will these!
Well.......Prowler prices have started to inch up from the lows they hit about 18 months ago. But it is really not an apples to apples comparison, total Prowler production was for the 5 year run was right around 11,000. I don't know the SSR 3 year total but I would bet it will be close to 3 times that number.

Rode by Lansing Craft Center yesterday, plant shut down but there was a lot of employee vehicles in the parking lot. I was looking for the parking lots with the 300 plus days supply of SSR's. Meanwhile I have a Aqua Blu 05 onhand, V-8, Manual, all the goodies. Just have to decide over the weekend. Any comments on stick shift, like it or not? It also has the 1SB option, sounds like a lot of extra $$$$.
