I agree with you Tim, the first time I saw the SSR truck was in Jan. 2003 at the LA auto show, and I thought to myself I can't belive General motors would produce something so hideous. Minus the power plant I think GM tried to cover the truck era of the 50's with the front end,the eighties with the bed and the late 90's with the 18"or 20" wheels. I don't think the GTO is as bad but with all of the hype that was given to the motor I was expecting something more sportier. Maybe someday the design department will be on the same page as the engineering department.....John Q.
