I went with my mom and dad to the local Chevy dealer that has the grey HHR in the showroom. Dad thought it looked great, Mom's response? "It looks like a hearse!!" She didn't like it. She commented it looked too short...it needed to be taller. Of course, she drives an Explorer and she's 5 foot 2...go figure
My father is 5 foot 10, and while he didn't have an issue with the height of the vehicle, he said it felt like the B pillar was curved too close to his head...something my 5 foot 7 inch self did not notice, but I could see his point.
Later that night, I took my fiance by to see it. Her response? "It looks like a hearse!" She didn't like it, either.
Apparently, the "Grave Digger" comment made by someone in another thread is entirely appropriate And no, neither my fiance nor my mother watch monster trucks I just thought it was funny 2 different comments from 2 very different women yielded the exact same initial response.
For the record, while I think it looks a little short as well, I love it

My fiance at a tractor pull = sitting on my shoulders trying to get a better view
I'm just thankful that despite being so different, they get along good...at least for now!!!
I can't believe "hearse" is a commonly used term for the HHR, Magnum or PT, but whatever...I actually kind of like all of them, despite the fact I don't picture myself driving any of them.

I see Magnum... I see early 1970's American stationwagon.
I see HHR and PT, I see heritage styled 1950's panelwagon.
However, there are those that never knew these existed... and the only thing they have to compare them to in the last 15-20 years are hearses. (Or is "hearsi" the plural for "hearse".

Me too.. cause really.. as far as I can tell from reading and looking at pics... it genuinly looks like a good car. Styling is debatable, some people might liek it, or hate it.. but I tihkn its definantly not ugly.. Much better looking than the PT cruiser its often compared to.. I'd stop and look at one in person when I ever get the chance.

Re: 2 women's opinions on the HHR
At dinner earlier, I commented to my father that Mom and Ashleigh made the same comment about the HHR. His response? "I think that when I see the Magnum"
Apparently this hearse thing is more serious than I thought...
