Chevy SSR – A convertible or a roadster?
Chevy had always wanted to recreate a vehicle the looked similar to the El Camino. Chevy decided to produce a vehicle called the SSR which is inspired by trucks in the 1950’s. It has an impressive 300 horsepower V8, but only manages at 7.7 second 0-60mph time. It disappointed many buyers who felt let down by such an atrocious engine. This vehicle can be concluded as being one that is beautiful to look at but horrible to actually drive.

The Scion brand decided to take one more risk with the Scion Hako Coupe. They decided to create a Box style body but did not reach the level of expectation. This vehicle was supposed to generate sales from youngsters but they could not be fooled either. Even the design team did a terrible job just by looking at the orange color. The Hako model is such a flop that it is no surprise people were reluctant to buy it.

Dodge Charger
Dodge had the idea of putting out a new car the resembled the original muscle car. There were speculations that it would resemble the Chevy Corvette, but with more aggression and edge. The public fell in love with the car in its initial introduction. When Charger was released, 7 years had passed and was not what people remembered at all. They were clearly not content with the new car. The basic look of the concept car went down the drain and now the car was not in the original design leaving the public very unhappy.
