I saw the SSR first at the Orlando Auto Show and just did NOT like it at all. It seemed very impractical for a truck as well... when I saw it, you needed tools to remove the hard top. Maybe they've improved it for production, but I still see them sitting on the lot here. Oh well... you must be a better representation of the target market! I think they were trying to pull off the success of the Chrysler PT Cruiser retro thing, but in a truck. I don't think it works... but it sure sounds like you're happy with yours. I think the retro Mustang is going to be the big success story. I have also seen a concept car called the Bel Air, but it seems to use only the name, not anything like the old Bel Air. Our primary "fun car" is a restored 1965 Impala SS 409 (the joys of being married to an extraordinarily gifted car guy, or "wrench," as he puts it!), so I'm pretty spoiled... but I'm glad you're happy with the SSR. Always something of a risk with a new model, but sounds like you're glad you took it.
