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 know I am being pretty harsh on the HHR, but the comercial really put me on slow burn.

Build something really average and then hire every ad company and actor to push the thing.

That is the cart pushing the horse.

But to use my approach you would have to add content to the car, that costs money. I would assume that the actors were cheaper than building a great car, and they assume we are all stupid.

Many people have posted on how cheap and efficent the HHR is.

I don't buy it.

The LS1 Z28's were rated at what 25-27 highway? The HHR is at 30 and some great achivement?

If you had left off the '40 Ford fenders and huge side flares, that would have improved the aerodynamics of the HHR and reduced weight. That would have been efficent and perhaps a 6 speed auto, you would have a simple streamlined box that would have gotten much better than 30mpg.

Look at the new Civic, not great looking, but I can respect aerodynamics.

But what I am describing is content and features.

That is a moot point to a company that would rather blow money on actors and ads and to hell with value and content.

Remember they are smarter than us.

How they can do the HHR and the Z06 at the same company is beyond me. But surprise, you don't even see an ad for the Z06, I guess they don't have to sell it as much, wonder why?
