Why didn't you drive a HHR with the 2.4 Ecotec? Like my 2LT or a 1LT with the 2.4 option.

 

price between the 2.2 HHR with auto (LS) and the G6 1SV (bare bones) was nearly identical. I'd move up several thousand dollars for the 2.4, and the G6 is well equipped for the price. it all really came down to personal preference. the HHR is nice, but when i got into the G6 and tooled around i pretty much fell in love with it. driving position and everything just felt right to me, and the DIC fuel econ. display never got below 20 mpg after i reset it when i drove around, and averaged 30. i have a feeling it'll pull some great highway mileage due to the aerodynamics, but the gearing will likely hold it back some.
