It is built off a pretty dang good platform. +1 for Jeeps! ---

i drove the HHR SS twice, once in 5 spd and once in an automatic before i bought my Impala SS, and i was more than impressed with it both times sticker on the HHR SS was around $27k, then $1500 in rebates and GM discount at the time was a $395 monthly payment for a 39 month lease I got the Impala because of the $11k in rebates and GM discount combined, cant beat $20k for that car and didnt even have to lease it. ---

I think it would of been cool if they made it like a Dodge magnum, aggressive looking and more like a man vehicle… but i understand it is supposed to compete against the PT cruiser, Im just saying one vehicle that was a wagon that i thought was pretty cool was the Magnum especially when people put exhaust on them… idk different but kool. ---
