Hi,

Is it just me or is this one of the worst cars they have ever built? The SSR was just as pointless but slight better looking rig.

The HHR is a stretched PT cruiser.

Andy Dick and a cast of losers wasted at least 15 minutes of the nations time with a lame stupid mega ad sketch thing.

Leno, whom I normally like, prosituted the Tonight show for the stupid ad sketch.

If you just build a car that doesn't suck, you don't need a 20million dollar ad to try and sell it. The group that produced the SSR and now the HHR needs to be fired now.

Toyota is likely laughing their ass off at this huge blunder.

How could the same company build the Z06 and this piece of crap?

Sorry just had to vent.

I liked the HHR in person and by the numbers.
+ 4 adults plus the dog in the back fit decently
+ near small SUV cargo volume, but at 30mpg
+ nice little options (remote start, mp3 input, 17" wheels etc)
+ very good price for the utility
+ it's not a station wagon

So what if it has PT characteristics? Chrysler led the way with minivan, but other manufacturers followed suit without so much complaining. Now Chrysler created an economical, fairly fuel efficient vehicle that is still reasonably versatile for family, vacations, errands etc, so why is it wrong now to follow suit in a new segment?

That said, Chevy's marketing team should be fired immediately. Buying all the ad space was a great idea for launching a new product, but the content absolutely sucked. Every minute of it sucked. A blown opportunity.
