I am new to the HHR, just got mine last Saturday. To be honest I got it because I needed something that was comfortable for the wife (she has an old back injury), fit the dogs and got good gas milage. The HHR was the only thing that fit my budget. Seems like a great car for the buck. I was surprised to find it had its forum. I was curious does HHR mean anything. I had an Olds 442 and originally 442 meant; 4 speed, 4 barrell carb and dual exhaust. When the automatic became an option it switched to 400 cu inches, 4 barrell carb, dual exhaust. The model name 442 just stuck after that when they put the 455 in it!
