I have gotten lots of comments so far . Many people (and even I see it in certain light) think the car looks really purple. Anyone else get this?

So far loving the HHR - great mileage and great ride.

 

It's a little strange that a first year color is being replaced already. Is the new blue more of a retro color? Does anybody have swatches of the new colors?

 

I just got a Daytona Blue HHR a couple weeks ago and just about everybody asks me if that's my purple car.... LOL fortunately there is a guy here at work that has a REAL purple truck and I can say.. no.. it's not purple ... just look at that truck over there... that's purple. LOL

I've noticed it looks more "purple-ish" when it's cloudy out. It looks nothing but blue when it's sunny.

 

I have never had the problem with it looking purple. It's Daytona Blue!

 

I agree. In less than direct sunlight, it appears to be more of a purple. But in sunlight, It is blue. I live in Kentucky, so people around here say it is Kentucky Wildcat Blue. BUT, I do love the color. It certainly gets people's attention. I've had mine three months and live in a small town, and right after I got it went to a restaurant and parked where I could see it from inside. LOTS of people did the walk a round.

 

i own a blue i call it burple

This was posted in the front page news.

Imperial Blue


Gold Teal Metallic

 

I've noticed the purple tint in different lighting settings as well. Regardless if it looks purple or the beautiful blue it really is, people generally love the color.

 

I had a '68 Firebird that was Seamist Green. It looked like silver/gray except under streetlights at night. After several policemen did long, slow looks at my registration at routine traffic stops and questioned the color of the vehicle -- I had NY plates but was in college in MA -- I had the color officially changed to gray on the registration for my own well-being and peace of mind.

 

Haven't received too many comments about the color, just general comments about it being A GREAT LOOKING RIDE!!!!


Could be all the sunshine here in Fl., but mine has never appeared any kind of purple.


Mine has always looked BLUE AND ONLY BLUE!!
