Do you like the name HHR?

How many of us really think Chevy did a good job naming our vehicles? Just curious...

I like Haulin' Hot Rod!!!
I think HHR is fine, just not the Heritage High Roof part.

Heritage...yes High Roof...how can it be a high roof when a guy 5'11 cant see traffic lights? I hate to see the Heritage Low Roof in that case

Doesn't bother me.

I don't think it's a "hot rod" in any sence though. I also have no problems seeing traffic lights (but I'm only 5'10 )

There are a lot worse names on some cars out there.

Worst name ever. EVER.

GM owns the rights to some really good names, and they had to slap a badge on there that makes no sense to 99% of the market.

I, for one, would have loved to seen the Nomad name resurrected for this car.

I personally like it because it's different from all other vehicles

If you tell someone you have an HHR they say "A What?". Then just about the time you think they know what you are talking about you tell them "a panel version" and they become completely confused.

However if they see it in person they usually get it right away.

Once you convince them it's not a PT Cruiser!

Pensonally,I think the name is not great, It doesn't provide personality for the little truck....If I was a car namer for this truck, I would have probably called it a Chevrolet VIAJE......Viaje is Spanish for Trip. :)

Actually, with some people that I've mentioned my HHR to, I told them it was Chevy's version of the PT Cruiser. Then they got it

I agree, they should have went with the Nomad name.
