SSR WTF was that even for? It's weak attempt at retro styling. Guys.....Retro has ha it's 15 minutes. The only reason it worked for the Mustang is because Ford has been there before, remember the Mustang II? They need to quit screwing around trying to make 50 versions of something and a 45K POS on wheels (SSR) and create a Performance Division where they can build the vehicles that the enthusiest like us want. Let the BLAND over paid out of touch with the customer suits keep pluging away on crap like the Cobalt, Sunfire, Buick(WTF do they even keep that division for?), etc....Keep on watching movies suits!!!! When you want a common mans point of view look around here, we will make you rich!

They have some major problems to iron out because they are starting to lose even their strong customer base.
)And the Chevy Van...my friend's sister has one... and i think i may have said.. hell tht looks like a fugly durango in the front with a bowtie. Does resemble it quite well.

GM is getting worse every day it seems. 
They should (as said before) kill Buick, all Chevy cars except the Corvette, the Uplander, and the HHR. The Trailblazer SS looks pretty cool, 6.0L LS2 V8 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. 
My favorite GM cars as of now are the C6 Z06, and the new GTO. The GTO in f'in CLEAN. 
There's Oldsmoble (I can't spell it, and could care less) too right? They should kill that too.
