HHR ... SUV or SCUV

Hey ya',

First post in general forum, so thanks again to all for the
infomation I've been getting here since last August.

Just traded a 07 panel for a SS. The panel was like driving a HOT WHEEL ... the SS is driving a SUPER HOT WHEEL

So.. it seems that most, if not all, other SUVs are "off road 4x4" leaning Sport Utility where as the HHR is more of a "ON ROAD" Sport Utility.

Therefore a..... Sports Car Utility Vehicle.

Just a thought I had while driving the tractor.

NOW if Ford would only do a retro 30s coupe or 40s willy

It's a station wagon.

Car frame=station wagon.

GM just calls it a truck to help its overall mpg ratings.

BTW............WELCOME!!

Station Wagon? Man nobody told me I had two station wagons :)

I have a Sports Wagon :)

She has a CUV (Cute Utility Vehicle) (OK, I can see the smack-down now) She's got a Surf Wagon. Where did the word Station come from anyways?

Station wagon= from the wagons at the train station.

what Iam getting at is that the "sport" in SUV design seems to be more 'off road 4x4' than a road performance street car.

Station wagon= from the "HORSE" wagons at the train station.?

Wagon ><= Utility Vehicle

State farm too. "Sport wg"

Is HHR the only Sport Vehicle thats more on road than off?

What about some of the european models.. BMW, Porsche.

What are some other current wagons from traditonal U.S. auto makers?

Ive been telling people that when the day comes my hhr will make a nice wagon. Just need to find matching horses.

Its a cross-over.

Station-wagons died with the 90's.
