Let me put the feelers out and ask. What about an HHR Magazine? It's tough to have a publication for just one model vehicle - but mags like "Hot Camaros" and "Mustang Illustrated" have survived for decades. Keeping in mind that Chevrolet could always expand the lineup with a 2-door coupe, a panel, possibly even a convertible...it seems like a magazine for enthusiasts is inevitable. So, I bring you:



Questions:

1. Would you buy such a magazine? Or do you feel the internet has enough "free" information already that keeps you informed.

2. Do how-to tech articles on installing aftermarket parts interest you - or would you just pay someone to do this anyway?

3. Would you be interested in seeing high-quality photo features of customized HHR's - or, once again, does the internet provide enough of this for you already.

4. Would you consider a specialized publication like this a benefit as a "buyer's guide" for aftermarket accessories, (i.e., a place where advertisers will list their wares), or can you find what you need already without such a resource.

5. Does anyone still read magazines (in the real world).

A little backgound; I have spent 18-years in the publishing industry, writing and managing many automotive and powersports titles. I believe I have the ability and connections to produce a great little mag for HHR owners - but would like a little "real world" feedback from some of you as to whether there might be any interest in such a mag.

Feel free to "fire away!"

I'm a noob, But I'm down!

 

I'd buy a magazine. I find most of my info online. However, I would like to have hard copies of tech articles and how to's.

 

I have to read something while sitting on... hemmm, the "throne."

I say go for it but keep it reasonable. The HHR is starting to pop-up all over so having readership shouldn't be an issue.

 

If it was put together well and all that jazz itd be awesome.

 

I would, but after the car has been around for a while like a year or two. There isn't a huge aftermarket yet and how many tech articles could you do on a new car with hardly any aftermarket parts? Also there aren't many custom HHRs yet so how many feature cars could you have? I was a subscriber to Muscle Mustangs And Fast Fords for as long as I owned my Mustang. That is one of the thickest magazines out there and filled with tons of info so if an HHR mag was done right like MM&FF I would be all over it in a heartbeat.
