6. Chevrolet SSR (2000)

Chevrolet decided it wanted to go retro with the Chevrolet SSR, and it ended up being a disaster. Looks wise, the SSR was great the SSR was an awesome-looking hot rod pickup truck with composite body panels and a slick convertible top. The problem was Chevrolet forgot that the point of a hot rod was to go fast, and they packed an underpowered and lazy motor into the SSR. The chassis and mechanical components were borrowed from GM’s SUVs, which made the vehicle heavy and the handling loose. The SSR was a good idea, that was poorly executed by Chevrolet. The later models of the SSR rectified some of the vehicle’s initial problems, but it was still a terrible outing at the auto show.
