That's what my daughter and I finally agreed to name my "new" 2006 HHR.
Her other option was "Mice". What can ya say... she's 4 years old.
I needed something with better economy than my old Trailblazer, but retaining some utility, and the HHR seemed to fit the bill, and has a touch of style, to boot. So far, in mixed driving, I'm managing to stay above 28mpg, so I'm tickled as heck to get out of the mid-teens, though I will have to get used to the smaller ****pit space. I'm 6'4" and a bit over 300 lbs, so there weren't many economy cars that were very comfortable. It came down to this and a Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe, and the HHR won with looks and, I'm hoping, better value retention over the years.

I had a trailblazer myself a couple years back had to get rid of due to gas mpg of almost.a. Full size Chevy and rising gas prices.
I to was looking at the pontiAC vibes because of the gas mileage but I was lucky enough to find a Chevy but that I really liked.
It's great also that this site exists. Just shows you how many people like the hhr's
Welcome aboard by the way.
