I think she is a Toyota twit or if she makes a decent wage a beemer biotch. Her husband probably drives a Prius. She calls the flexfuel a Hybrid which pretty much tells me about her automotive knowledge. Anyone can be a critic if someone will hire them.

Ha ha...yeah, that's kinda what I thought too reading it. Same goes with photography. Just because you have a camera, doesn't mean your a photographer.

This Guy Bought 2 HHRs, a lot of people I know still want to call it a PT whatever, but you know how that goes, if your first then every one just uses that name, like Vise Grip, or Crescent, both brand names the are used for all locking pliers and adjustable wrenches.

I tell people it's truck, thats what it says on the title, and falls in the crossover cat. oh and its BIGGER than a Personal Transportation Cruiser, talk about bad names........PTC or HHR, whatever, some one needs to come up with a better one word name for both "TRUCKS".

Why I bought a HHR instead of a PTC, its GM and Bigger!

You forgot way better too, in every way. I owned a PT Loser and was not impressed by it all. Thank the convict that ran a red light and wrote it off for me when he hit me.

I wanted an HHR from the minute I saw my first one in 2006. I had NO idea what it was. Looked kinda' like a PT I thought, but way better - much cleaner, more classic lines. The owner said, " it has the pickup of a golf cart and it handles like a shopping cart." I didn't care - I wanted one. When I drove and bought my Panel in 2008 I realized how wrong he was. When I wear this one out I'll buy another!!!

She hit the nail on the head. It was the worst ad of the entire Super Bowl that year. The only "real" attempt at buzz was when Chevy bought all the ad space on the Tonight Show, but ruined it with Andy Dick.

The name of the car is not the greatest, either. Chevy has waaay too many good names in their catalog going to waste, and they had to pick "HHR". Probably the weakest car name since "Chevette".

Yea, I can't tell you how many people see mine and say "What is that?" Then I say "It's a Chevy HHR." and they say "a what?" Then I have to come down to their level and say "It's the Chevy version of the PT Cruiser" and they say "Nice car."

Then I wonder what marketing genius came up with that name.
