Dumb writers.
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/06/...t-hi/#thankYou
This chick doesn't get the whole HHR thing at all. In her piece about naked ads, she brings up the infamous Superbowl ad from 2007 where guys start washing an HHR with wimmin inside. The start a strip tease ala The naked cowboy in Times Square. Goes on to state the HHR isn't selling and her husband did not know what the HHR was. He thought it was a hybrid vehicle. He must be a total tool, or a PT Cruiser driver, or worse yet, a Prius owner. Perhaps only uses the bus.

Calling her 'Dumb' is a compliment. Idiot is more like it!

I'm sorry, but I don't see a problem with the article. Nothing it says is false and pretty much, IMO, hits the nail on the head regarding useless HHR advertising. Didn't slam the HHR in anyway. Mainly made fun of an ad the most here thought was horrible too.
BTW, most people have no idea what the HHR is!

GDZHHR, I just saw this phrase as kind of a dismissal of the car as insignificant.
quote...
Sadly for Chevrolet, guys could keep their hands off the HHR (for "Heritage High Roof"), a compact wagon that made so little splash in the marketplace that, two years after this expensive ad buy, I had to ask my husband what an HHR was. And he didn't know either: "Must be a hybrid," he mused, blankly.

Sadly, away from this website, it kinda is! Most of the people have no idea what an HHR is if you mention it by name. Also, most people that see an HHR have no idea what it is. Either way, kinda insignificant!

I think the HHR's problem was it's name - HHR. Letters have a way of confusing non-car people. If it was called a Suburban or a Scottsdale most people would probably remember the car better.
I have wanted one of these since before they came out. This past Christmas I made it happen, it's two years old but it's my HHR.

Oh, and I like your choice on using "Scottsdale" as an example!

First time I ever noticed an HHR was a few months before I bought it last year when I parked next to one. I had no idea what it was...never saw one or heard of it before that.
I thought it was really cool looking, but probably some kind of limited exotic I could never afford. I was half right.
