ZOO,
Glad to hear you are happy with the HHR, too many people end up living with vehicles that don't live up their expectations. It is exactly the type of vehicle that would work for most families, utility, with good fuel economy, and not as top heavy as an SUV. I MUCH prefer the styling of the HHR to the PT Cruiser, not so dainty, but again, retro is just not my thing. I have seem some with pretty cool paint jobs though, and they do get attention.
