I get the questions all the time. I think it was pretty cool, when I stopped for gas and a guy in a SSR pulled next to me. People were talking to both of us about our cars. People here also make the PT/HHR mistake as well. I do get PT owners telling me the next car they get will be an HHR.

 

Yah, first night I was taking it home from dealer.
Went through a Tim Hortons to get a coffee and the young girl said,
Q "Oooh, what's that a PT Cruiser with no windows?"
A: No, it's an HHR
Q:What?
A: HHR Panel
Q:PT?
A: NO! Chevy!
Q:Is there seats in the back?
A: No, just a bed
Q: Cool, that's a cool car.
A:thanks

Several drive through's later same scene.

Chevy hit the market with the panel.
There are no Astro vans or Aerostars anymore for work, just full size vans.
Maybe Ford should build a rear whl drive panel based on a 49 Willy's or something?
On an Aerostar platform.
I know it's dead but it'd be cool to have rear whl drive and a 3 or 4 L V-6.

Any Ford reps reading? Hello!

 

well in So Cal at least they are starting to become more and more common. I see them a LOT now. On my way home from work last night I counted five. FIVE! and I only have a ten-minute commute.
