Analysts estimate that 24,150 SSRs were produced in total. The final SSR, a unique black-on-silver model (Highest VIN 1GCES14H06B126138), was built on March 17, 2006. On November 21, 2005, GM announced that it would close the Craft Center in mid-2006, spelling the end for the SSR. Citing a 301-day supply of SSRs, General Motors in December of that year announced five weeks of layoffs at Lansing Craft Center, the factory that made the SSR. In spite of marketing efforts which included the SSR being used as the pace car for the 2003 Indianapolis 500, it sold below expectations with under 9,000 sales at US$42,000 each. If this pleasurable ownership experience continues I am thinking about purchasing another Land Rover model for my wife in the very near future.The SSR was introduced as a 2003 model on New Year's Eve 2002. We are planning some vacation trips soon and will be traveling in the Range Rover due to all of the comfort and luxury features. The vehicle ride, handling, and power delivery characteristics are great as well. The gas mileage is a lot better than I expected from a supercharged V8, most of the other supercharged V8's I have owned had terrible fuel mileage like 15-16 MPG, I typically get 21-23 MPG in this Range Rover Sport. The interior quality (fit, finish, etc) is amazing. ![]() I have only driven this one for about 5,000 miles so far, but not one single issue. I have heard about the lack of reliability with the Land Rover brand over the years so this kept me from trying one. I have owned 48 different vehicles over the last 37 years with 95% of those being American brands. So far I am highly impressed with this 2020 Range Rover Sport HSE P525. ![]() We certainly did not go with the intention of purchasing a Buick, but we are loving the new ride! And like the commercial says. He made several suggestions to try out for size and then showed us a vehicle that checked all the boxes and then some! Dealing with Abdul Aldanab in the Finance Department was very easy and he was able to offer us some options and extras that will help protect our new vehicle for years to come. Such a delightful and well informed salesman! No high pressure sale he just listened to what we were looking for. As we wandered the lots, a salesman, Tarik Adas approached us from the Hendricks Buick/GMC dealership. Five dealerships later, those did not pan out! Out of frustration, we decided to just go to the auto mall at Southpoint. Being very tall and having several vehicle requirements, we narrowed the search. So when we decided to replace my 11 year old car, we took the time to do research and read reviews of the newer models. Shopping for a new vehicle ranks right up at the top of my list of things I dread doing.
