An HHR kicks this things *** in styling, as in, an HHR actually HAS style. YUK!

And a little side rant... what's up with the retarded goofy *** mirrors? Check out the mirrors on most of the subcompacts sold here, they look just like those goof *****. Why can't they go where that unnecessary tiny window is? Which is where they should be. They look like a complete afterthought. I'm glad it won't be sold here. It looks cheap.

 

a car named after a city in the U.S. yet is not sold in the U.S. wow..way to go.

but by the by..would rather have a HHR SS.

 

One more vote for 'meh'.

I'd prefer an HHR as well. They're goofy looking cars, but they have character. This is just another appliance/people hauler. I view it similar to the Impala in terms of styling. Boring people mover.

 

So they started with this:



and ended up with this:

 

I guess the super cool LED headlighs and fogs were impractically expensive, giant wheels are impractical and having heavily tinted windows with what appears to even be a tinted windshield wouldn't work.

 

Yeah, but they could've kept the angular shape of the headlights and grille intact. The front nose is what got bland and I don't see how it was any less expensive than the concept layout.

On a somewhat related note, why does EVERY SINGLE CAR on the market now have the SAME EXACT DOOR HANDLES?! There used to be some variety in door handles. There used to be ones that were square, rounded, flush, even on the window frame. Now very few cars, trucks, or crossovers made by any company are not the style shown above. I think Corvette and Aveo are the only Chevies that don't have them.

 

Its almost as if they made a compromise between the angular shape the concept and the roundness of the HHR. With all the popular more angular boxes out on the market, one would have thought the style police and GM would follow suit. Its as if they've gone back to their old conservative (styling) ways.

To coin the phrase in the hip Kia hamsters commercial, GM could have gone with "this", but instead went with "that."

 

Another vote here for ...

 

I'll pass.

 

Was Ed W on vacation when this thing went through style?
