The Pseudo-Retros
_Somebody thought it would be a good idea to make a new car that looked like an old car. Some people bought them, but then they stopped, so then their makers killed them. They are the Few, the Proud, and the Dead. _
Chevrolet SSR
Styled to ape the look of a &#39;50s Chevy Pickup that&#39;s been aggressively hot-rodded, the SSR was, under its loud paintjobs and showy skin, one of the least &quot;hot&quot; rods ever, with the chassis and mechanicals of a blunderbuss sport ute, the Trailblazer. By the end of its four-year run in 2006, Chevy had addressed the SSR&#39;s power deficit, but it was too late. They had a pure bozo-mobile on their hands.
