gearheads78 Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I just got back from the opening of the Dallas auto show. I expected to see a elaborate display of the SS to help introduce it to the general public. Not only did they not have a spectactular display for the SS, they had no display for it at all. That right not a SS to be found anywhere in the building. We have such a great truck and Chevy has jacked up the sticker to the moon but they don't even push it with any advertising. I'm not a marketing major but what am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Yeah, I went to two auto shows out here for the specific purpose of seeing an SS. Struck out both times and the LA Auto show isn't exactly some backwater auto show . The first SS I saw was at a dealer. The first blue SS I saw was mine . Talk about flying blind!

One thing I have heard is there is a big advertisement/show at the Nascar races starting with Taledaga (sp?). They are also doing something big at Indy.

zippy Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 unfortunatly they seem to be incapable of getting the sold orders out fast enough let alone advertise. the ssr which has been over-advertised though, isn't going to sell well at a base price of 41,995.

62 SS Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I think GM has been keepin' 'em "under wraps", so to speak, because they finally came to realize that they spent a whole lot of $$$ developing one REALLY FUGLY truck!! ... and sluggish, to boot! Doesn't deserve the "SS" badging IMO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ChevySS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Wuz watchin the tube and thought there was a commercial for the SS, but it turned out it was for the Silverado 1500 Texas truck. DAMMMMMMMMMMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsen Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 i kind of think it's cool they don't advertise them, the less people that know about them, the less they will sell. of course us truck people know about them, but non-truck people don't, which means less sold and makes them more rare.

rmcswain Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 I agree, most people don't have a clue what the SS is period. That suits me just fine. For example, I took mine to get an inspection sticker today (purchased it out of state) and he asked me if it was the new Avalanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62 SS Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 rmcswain, I can understand how someone unaware of what an "SS" is, could confuse it with the Avalanche! ... that IS the really sad part of the current "SS" story! This "SS" really doesn't live up to the SS tradition or expectations that should otherwise set it apart! It is just a "me too" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
