Re: Seen 3 HHRs in 2 days...
A very thorough HHR review here...
Autobytel
In closing: And, say what you will about the styling, but one thing is for sure. During the HHR’s first miles on American highways, people weren’t looking.

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...

I bashed the vehicle to hell and back when the first sketches came out but looks like I've eaten my hat over this one

Looked good in the pics, looks good in person. Good price point too for the look and content.

1.) Those HHR's are pretty neat vehicles, ...and with a starting price of 15K+, ...you can't beat it.
2.) ADV1, ...You mentioned DuTeau Chevrolet in Lincoln. THAT is the dealership that 'my' '67 Pace Car was sold from!!! Any chance you have any 'connections' at the dealership? (I'm sure you've seen the '67 in the 4th gen Camaro sales brochures, ...that was mine until it was purchased by GM.

The only thing it shares with the PT are fender bulges.
The HHR is the only "SUV" I'd actually buy. For anyone that knows me, that's saying alot!
