Seen 3 HHRs in 2 days...

And what's awesome is that 2 of the 3 were being driven by, shall we say, "urban" type youths blaring rap music. Typically the type seen behind the wheel of a Honda/Toyota/Nissan/insert Japanese car of choice here.

Good for Chevy...

Re: Seen 3 HHRs in 2 days...

I made a sighting of a blue one yesterday. I was walking to the parts department at the Chevy dealer, passed by the body shop, and saw one with its front end mashed in. Big shame considering it is such a new car and all.

I see them all over now...I haven't seen one driven by an "urban type youth" yet, but I do see quite a few youths around college age driving them. I've seen a few old couples in one as well.

They are everywhere around here. Seen 1 blue, 2 of that Sunset Orange color, one gray/silver one I think and there was another one in some wierd color I can't remember.

Also seeing a lot of G6's around. I was behind a black one yesterday in traffic looking it over when at the stop sign 2 more came up to the 4 way

Re: Seen 3 HHRs in 2 days...

And I believe the media site says 10,170 units in the first 2 months so far. Sept sales coming up in a day or 2 im sure. So thats an outlook for the better part of 60,000 units?

Not exactly a flop coming from the same GM as GTO, imo.

I saw my first one this morning. A little smaller than I was expecting.

They're about as common as your average compact car here. They're everywhere

My father who is looking at one for a company vehicle went to DuTeau Chevrolet here in Lincoln. While he was there he was talking to our family salesman(He's sold us approx 5 vehicles including my Impala) and he was telling him how a company here in town bought 22 of them for his employees!!!

Re: Seen 3 HHRs in 2 days...

I really don't understand why GM built a PT Cruiser many years too late.

Why can't they be ORIGINAL, or, un-original, and bring some euro flavoured hot hatches and small 2dr. coupes over.

I really don't get the way marketing is working these days. Brands used to sell by originality, now it's all cookie-cutter garbage. I'm not just talking cars, but also electronics (Moving away from smaller specialty stores to BB/CC/Fry's type joints), fast food/chain restaurants etc etc...
