well... i guess you can call it "competition" imo the kia doesn't look half bad. how come ford never offered any competition??


KIA SOUL

NISSAN CUBE

 

no competition as far as I can see nothing compares to the HHR

 

Both look tiny and the Nissan looks like a hard top golf cart!

 

The Kia isn't bad looking a little boxy in the back for me....
The NISSAN,,,,,,,,,, mmmmm Looks like a box on wheels to me............

 

I hate both of these so bad when i see them it gives me heartburn ugh WHY would they come out with these ugly things.

 

A kia I could actually own. I saw that before think I might have posted it before as well I think its cool. Would really like to see one in person

 

that's competition for Scion, looks similar to the XB and their other model.

 

The XA

 

Saw one on the road for the first time today, it's pretty short, but looks like it's roomy enough, so long as you don't need to carry 4 and luggage at the same time. Looks a little like an xA but about the size of a first gen xB. Funny how all these small European/Asian vehicles are popping up here, but the Big 2 don't bring models they've already got on sale there (Fiesta/Corsa) to the US market.

 

whats funny is both platforms are several years OLDER than the HHR.

the nissan cube is good at what its meant for... urban, in town driving... its HELL on the freeway IMO.

i dont wanna get kia on my hands... so I've never driven that half assed knock off of a really great car (the great car being the gen2 scion Xb)

but holy crap. the new Xb is awesome... if i could afford it i would buy it instead of an HHR...

but both HHRs and gen2 Xb's cruise nicely on the highway... and have unique styling... and come with available 2.4 inline 4 engines...

and come to think of it. toyota had a hand in the creation of both of them too...

co-inky-dinky me thinky?
