pt loser
i saw on tv this morning that 2009 will be the last year for the pt loser! said that sales have dropped off so bad, not worth making. wonder if the HHR had anything to do with it?

Can't say for sure but willing to bet the HHR sales took a big bite out the the PTs market. I'm doing my best to keep the dream alive and trying to sale everyone I know on these HHR's so they will stick around.

I got nothing against the PT. But we had a Neon awhile back and it was such a POS I could never buy anything again based off its platform. Plus the PT styling is more feminine and the HHR's more masculine. Yes the HHR is based off the Cobalt/Ion (GM Delta) but I know a number of people with both cars and its a pretty tight platform, exceptional actually, and the Ecotec has a rep as a bullet proof engine as well... how can you go wrong?

It is sad to see the PT go. competition is always good. I of course like the HHR better and agree that it is more masculine looking. Chrysler let the PT wither on the vine and the last refresh left something to be desired as far as the interior goes. so it is not surprising that it is being killed.

the pt wasn't killed due to competition... granted the hhr did come late in the game but the hhr provided a new face on a similar design - something chrysler never really did with the pt.
but then the question - how do you update retro? you don't. so they finally killed it after a 7 year run to replace it with another vehicle...
looks like it's going to be calibur vs. hhr from now...

bye bye pt...
I drove a PT Cruiser rental for Thanksgiving last year. It really wasn't a bad car, just not as cool as the HHR. I have nothing against it, it is a cool vehicle and I believe it will go down as one of the classics of its time. Hopefully the HHR will enjoy a run as long as the PT Cruiser.

My only experience with a Cruiser was at a car show a few years ago.
The wife and I sat in it and it felt cramped. I thought the window ledges were too high. Never drove one so I can't comment on that aspect of it.
At least the Cruiser has disc brakes all around...something the HHR should have had from the start.
