Our second HHR
When I bought my '06 HHR (sport red) in October of 2005 my wife hated it and thought it looked like a delivery truck. (She also dislikes the PT Cruiser so I guess her problem was with retro styling in general). Since she was not interested in the HHR I bought what I wanted, the 2.4 with five-speed manual transmission.
A year went by and by then she was in love with my HHR and wished I had bought an automatic so she could drive it as well. After some serious shopping around we traded her '02 Mustang coupe in for a '07 (silver) 2.2 with automatic transmission. she likes her HHR better than her Mustang and we both like the $90 less per year for insurance. We are now officially a two HHR family!

Welcome to the two HHR family club!!!
LOL!! My wife was the same way. When I bought mine, she was happy for me but really didn't care much for it. After a few months, and her having the chance to drive it, she fell in love! Four months after I bought mine, we brought her's home from the dealer!

Lucky you!
It came time to replace my vehicle, and I wanted to order my HHR with a 5-speed, but was convinced to get the auto so she could drive it in a pinch…
I suppose it’s the practical choice…
