Cool, just a little typo:

"although the supercharged SS version ranks as one of the best modern sleepers available."

They meant "turbo" I am sure

 

Well... That writer got his HHR facts all wrong. Supercharged SS ?? 1930's inspired styling?? Just plain ignorant journalism.

 

Once upon a time Chrysler took a boring small car (the Neon), grafted a body that recalled 1930s-era roadsters on top of it and created the PT Cruiser. Seeing Chrysler's initial success, GM copied Chrysler's play step by step — hiring the PT Cruiser's designer to draw a body meant to evoke the 1930s-era Suburbans and using the chassis of the compact Cobalt sedan. Imitation may be flattery at its most sincere, but GM didn't copy Chrysler's sales; the HHR was big and cheap but thirsty, and like the PT never received enough updates to stay current — although the supercharged SS version ranks as one of the best modern sleepers available.

How did the determine the HHR was "thirsty". A small SUV type car that gets 30 mpg is thirsty? This artical must have been written by some Leaf driver.

 

Fact checking and journalistic integrity went out the window years ago.

 

AMEN!!

 

Truth!

 

Hey,....Gm forgot to put in a supercharger on mine.... SS

 

No... the report says you have one! And I believe EVERYTHING the media tells me!
They wouldn't lie to me!

 

That's tempting but, Grandma told me to leave that kinda thing alone
