雪佛兰SSR，2003-2006
雪佛兰SSR是世界上第一款——也是唯一的一款硬顶敞篷皮卡。SSR意为“超级运动跑车”。在鲍勃•卢茨执掌通用（General Motors）之前，通用推出过好几款设计败笔，SSR就是其中之一。车顶是驼背式伸缩硬顶，不用的时候可以收到后方。它是在雪佛兰先驱者（TrailBlazer）的平台上生产的，它的重量太重了，价格也高达42,000美元。消费者很快就发现，这款敞篷皮卡虽然在车展的旅转展台上看起来奇酷无比，但一旦投入量产，就成了一个价格虚高、华而不实的玩意儿。

Chevrolet SSR 2003-2006
The world's first hardtop convertible pickup truck -- and, so far, the only one -- the SSR (for Super Sport Roadster) was one of the less-good product ideas General Motors tried before the ascendancy of Bob Lutz. The SSR tried to piggyback on the pickup truck boom with a topless version whose roof folded into the bed when retracted. Built on the Chevy TrailBlazer platform, the SSR was badly overweight and overpriced at $42,000. What seemed cool on an auto show turntable became an overpriced novelty when it went into production, which customers quickly figured out. |
