Forgive the bad picture taken from my kitchen window, but the wind chill is -25F, so I am not going outside unless I have to.
To me the SSR almost looks good. The proportions are all off. The belting too high. The ride height too high. The greenhouse too low, too swoopy. I’d love to see someone far more talented than I make one of these look good. I think it could be done.

Windchill is not so good here, but not as brutal as you’re feeling; we’re at about -23 Celsius with windchill.
I should have liked the SSR - it’s weird and about as close as you can get to a ute in North America. However, I wish GM would’ve just brought over the Maloo instead, or styled it more conservatively instead of goes with this retro-chic or whatever this is supposed to be.
In principle, I agree with the SSR, but the execution of design is something I really can't get behind, and I tend to like weird cars.

I like those things purely because it looks like someone took a concept car and just jammed it straight into production. I can respect that.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel too. Man I wish they would have brought over the Maloo!!

I want to like it for that same reason, and I don't hate it, but it’s just not a good looking execution.

What’s all that white crap on the ground?

That would be snow. I don't recommend it.
