Btw, I thought the retro look would appeal to more members here, but I suppose it's to wait for more details to be released before we see more activity here. If they throw in a 220 hp engine and keep the price below 20k, perhaps that might generate more interest. ;-)

The PT is more at a retro wagon a la panel truck, and pulls it off with real panache. I don't the the GM designers are quite there.
I think he may have had more support and fewer, umm, guidelines under the old Chryler management. Just a theory...
DETROIT- Chevrolet Motor Division has officially selected the name HHR for its all-new crossover vehicle. HHR will begin production in summer of 2005 as a 2006 model.
"With its expressive design and surprising functionality, HHR is a great addition to our family of Chevrolet vehicles," said Pete Langenhorst, Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR marketing director.
HHR was an internal codename for "heritage high roof," representing the design of Chevrolet's trucks in the late 1940s. The styling of the HHR reflects both the look of a 1949 Suburban and the current SSR.
HHR is part of Chevrolet's new small vehicle lineup, which includes the all-new 2005 Cobalt and 2004 Aveo. It will be the third vehicle based off of GM's Delta global architecture.
BTW Chevy's new tagline is "An American Revolution"
-retro is dead....
-the PT cruiser was the 'original' so no way to match the market buzz
if this had come out 1 year after the PT it would have a lot more impact. Pretty much another example of GM's marketing and product development ineptness.
still, it should be an interesting vehicle. I hope it has a bunch more cargo room than the PT....if it does it should sell well.
If it has the utility of the element, too it should be popular.
Chevy would do well to have a performance version right out of the chute. Something with a 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Crysler would be wise to respark interest in the PT cruiser by offering a stretch version of it. One with more room and cargo space.
;-)
HHR should be canned for something similar but modern with cool features. Basically a good looking version of the Element.

Nice and big, even though it's still CAD.
Oh, and *bump*.
