Well said.

You can't beat the HHR SS if you are basing it on the combination of price, gas mileage, performance, utility and looks.

It's a real solid car and it is a real good offering by GM. It has good utility, good mileage, good performance and good appeal. Overall it's a good package. There are a few things that would make it a lot better (AWD and I would really like electrochromatic sideview mirrors.) Overall, they put out an excellent car that does a lot of things well. It has had a few engineering challenges, from what I have read on here, and that is a bit of a negative thing for sure.

It IS when you are driving in reverse.

I love mine. My wife likes it but hates to drive it,scares the crap out of her she has a G5 . We have our small things we don't care for about it but I am more than happy with it. I have not had any stock cars beat me yet.Had a crossfire try the other day made me laugh the look on his face. So far have toasted 1 07 vet 3 different stangs 1 crossfire and several hondas.Oh what fun it is to ride in my black HHR tonight.
