2006 Chevrolet SSR Review
Chevrolet's street-rod-flavored two-seat convertible gets slightly more horsepower for 2006. SSR has a retro-styled body over a frame based on that of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer SUV. It seats two and has a power-retractable metal top. A 6.0-liter V8 is the sole engine. It makes 395 hp with the standard 4-speed automatic transmission, 400 with the optional 6-speed manual. The '05 made 390 hp with either transmission. ABS, traction control, 19-inch front wheels, and 20-inch rears are standard. Also included is a rigid tonneau covering a cargo bed of about 5x3 ft. Torso side airbags are standard; curtain side airbags are unavailable.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Offering more power and style than typical Sporty/Performance vehicles, Premium Sporty/Performance Cars usually cost much more and have more comfort and convenience equipment. Two-passenger convertibles and 4-seat coupes rule the roost in this class.

Our Best Buy is Chevrolet Corvette. Our Recommended picks include BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz CLK.
News
SSR won't be back for 2007. Sales were decent only in the early going, General Motors needs to cut costs, and Chevrolet no longer needs the SSR as a showroom attraction.
