Chevrolet HHR and Equinox, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Torrent pushed total small utility sales up 18 percent compared with a year ago, and up 45 percent in the first eight months of the year compared to the same period a year ago. Chevrolet HHR saw a 62-percent increase in retail sales compared to last year and had CYTD deliveries of 53,208 vehicles. Chevrolet Equinox had one of its best retail sales months of the year with 7,737 deliveries.

Not really that surprising and kinda misleading.

A year ago the HHR was barely on the market and with all of the incentives last couple months, sales should have been way up. That's the whole reason for incentives. Automakers have an old habit of giving the corect figures but explaining them in a way that makes them look better than they really are.

Good info though!

 

If you go to that link and scroll down to the charts, you can see that the HHR is "totaled" to the truck sales. That would answer Deb and other peoples posts in regard to an earlier thread on a news article in a Denver (?) paper.

Oh Mike, excellent analysis..

 

Thanks



It's called spin and the auto industry has good spin doctors.

 

HHR does well in sales and thats a proven fact

 

So true SIHHR...and this site is definitely a testament to that fact.

 

How true. Hence no "killer deals"

 

And, VERY low production......in cars, I think Solstice and Skky are considerably lower. But at approx. 55,000, GM isn't getting development cost back on the HHR, yet. The low production level should help resale value, however.
