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.

GM is not "wasting money on actors". It's called marketing and advertising, most companies can write that stuff off. If you think hiring Andy Dick stopped a future Camaro from being produced, then you are sadly mistaken. The HHR is obviously not marketed towards you, or people like us. But it is far from the biggest turd ever pushed out. If you feel you could run GM better, why aren't you up there bidding for the Job, you're obviously a marketing genius. It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback. My $.02.

I remember a time when a certain company put out something called a Pinto, or Mustang II, funny, that company is now being lauded as the only company to cater to enthusiasts.

I don't think you saw the comerical, it was beyond bad.

I don't think you need to be a marketing genius to run GM.

The comercial made it clear that no marketing genius works at GM.

Yes I could have done better than anybody they had, because I would have killed the project.

Why do you need massive marketing? I can answer that one, "because you are building boring crap".

If you build a better car you don't need marketing, notice how few ads you see from toyota and they are out selling GM.

Build a better car, let people know it exists, price it in a reasonable manner, and get out of the way.

The Z06 is an amazing car, see any big hollywood type hyping it? Not needed, its a great car.

Value= cost/Hype as hype goe to infiniity, value goes to zero, or in this case the lower limit is HHR.
