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 just don't care for the styling of the HHR, or for the SSR for that matter. To me, retro styling says that the design department cannot come up with something new and is incapable of thinking on their own, and must rely on an existing design to sell a new product. I do understand that a vehicle is designed for a purpose (i.e., people mover, truck, sports car, etc.). But the HHR could have had a more modern design.

GM is just simply too big and cannot pare down its product line to a more efficient and competitive level because the vast majority of the American consumer is hung up on a label (Buick, Chevy, Pontiac, etc.). GM really needs to restructure and reinvent itself if it expects to survive the next 50 years. For instance, they need to get rid of the GMC line and simply absorb that into the Chevrolet manufacturing and sales (even though I think the GMC trucks look much better than the current Chevy trucks). However, that's another soapbox... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif)
