ride height

Is it just me or is the HHR SS a lot lower to the ground compared to other sports cars even other 2 door cars? I passed by a early 2000 honda civic SI hatch back and that thing was wayy off the ground. Even with the small rims it was still higher than my SS. Anyone else noticed this with other cars? Keep in mind my SS is stock and I'm sure that civic was too. The only reason I'm starting this thread is because I hear a lot of people saying that the HHR SS isn't sporty, but I've seen a few cars that are "sport cars" 2 door coups and all that that don't even look half as sporty. Whether your looking at the ride height, body, interior or engine. Is it because its considerd a "wagon" or "truck" idk. I feel that the HHR SS should be given more credit in the Sport turner car world. What do u guys think?

i think you get that feeling because you drive it alot. we are sitting up there. my car have been lowered for some years now and i am till sitting "high",due to hhr ss having a high roof line.i love the genesis,that thing makes me feel like i'm on a sled!! and i mean that in a good way. theonly thing i see "sporty" about the ss is the grill and spoiler kit. add depo head lights and the front looks VERY sporty. i consider it a sport utility wagon.
