Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

uuummm, wtf?

Post by spidey3479 »

Did they not stop making the bonneville in '05 or what? I was just googling around and found this. Just goes to show you, car salesmen will lie outright to sell something. At least I think that is what these guys are trying to do with this site.

So what was the last year of the SSEI? That is what I was trying to Google. Wikipedia, is a little ambiguous as to when that was.

Look in the engine section on the right side and click "Show" on the L67 part. Last year for an SSEi was 2003.

not the wikipedia article, the first link.

It's an automated page, most likely the same as all the other years, just to draw hits when people search for new cars

That first link reminded me of the Google ads ... they would take the word Bonneville and just add to it, "Find New 2008 Bonnevilles" here. Lol... that always slighted amused me.
