They definitely aren't performance sports cars which is the angle that I see many reviewers taking and as such they end up disappointed.
The SSR attempted to be all things to everyone and failed in every respect.

If you like them, thats great, I'm sure theres a niche market for them.

The reason I said it was safe pick for Hammond is because it was relatively new, its got GM Guts which means theres nothing ancient or experimental, it'll have a decent amount of power and reliability...if you dont need to use it as a race car or as a truck but just as a cruiser? Seems like a decent choice.

18,500 pounds seems a bit steep, granted they dont give us year or mileage.

I dont personally like the look of them, and as I recall they were pretty expensive for what you got, but getting a second-hand one in decent shape? Like I said, niche market.
