The original Corvette was saved by the original T-Bird. Where the PT Cruiser was based on a Neon, and the HHR on a far superior Cobalt chassis - There are a few things about the PT I wish would have come over to the HHR - the lift and tumble rear seats - and what seems to be (even to this day) great parcel shelf / table. I never owned a PT - when I went looking Chrysler had screwed up the front end - and I could not longer get the turbo/manual combo, so I bought the HHR. I don't understand why so many of you are frustrated by the PT Cruiser / HHR comparison. I would rather have my car compared to a PT Cruiser than a Scion xB, Pontiac Vibe or Toyota Matrix.

H3 is a VERY capable vehicle. I had the pleasure of driving one on the off road course that GM set up a few years ago at an Auto Show in Motion event. Mud bog, hill climb, and boulder run were easy in that truck. While the H2s kept getting stuck, the H3s were just pulling around them and getting through with ease. The key is the locking front axle. You just can't stop them in stock form. There's nothing wannabe about the H3.

The Colorado and Canyon are decent trucks, but they probably would have sold more if they'd had the six-cylinder option and kept the S-series names. Next year the Colorado will have the new direct-injection six that's in the CTS and Camaro.

Ground clearance without a differential hanging down is just the 1st thing that comes to mind, then there's automatic deflate/inflate of tires from within the cab, etc.
Now if your talking about fuel mileage, I can't argue
