Cool People Asking You What Is It?

Easy enough. Just simply put on the back window in vinyl lettering 'POOR MANS SUBURBAN"

No one has asked me what kind of car it is, but a few days ago I was sitting at a light, and a PT Cruiser was across the way. The passenger in the PT kept giving my car odd looks and intense stares, like he couldn't figure out what the heck he was looking at. He said something to the driver of the PT, and the driver started doing the same until the light changed and I moved on, but I could see them watching me go in the mirror, still staring in confusion.

I 'll bet everyone who owns a PT Cruiser is well aware of the HHR,
They are both retro styled cars. The initial success of the PT Cruiser had Chevy on the drawing board. IF it were not for the PT, there would be no HHR.

They are both fine cars. I am not insulted if someone mistakes my car for a PT at all.

When I took mine in for the first oil change at the chevy dealer when i got the recipt back I was looking at it when i noticed the service writer put in the description PT Cruiser I couldn't believe it. I took the recipt back and had the cashier change it.

Now that is funny!

I had mine in a car show on base here a few weeks back and it got pretty old having people ask if it was a PT Cruiser. I think only one person actually recognized it as a Chevy.

It does show that the PT Cruiser has really made a name for itself as THE retro-mobile of choice around here. Hell, there are two of them within a block of each other on the street that I live on.

I have yet to have anyone walk up and ask me about the HHR.

The PT has proved itself to be reliable and comes in a lot of flavors.

The only thing I do not really like about it is the cargo area and having to remove the back seats. Otherwise its a nice car. I don't get all the animosity vs the PT Cruiser. Its the fore bearer of the HHR and has a huge following.

No animosity here. Hell, when the PT first came out I actually considered getting one. What stopped me was the lack of real cargo space. The HHR has the PT beat handily in that department. I still like the styling of the PT, I just wish that folks could recognize the HHR for what it is. IMHO it is better excecuted than the PT in the wagon dept.

Oh, and Kingfrog, just to let you know, your avatar creeps me out just a bit
