If you consider the HHR a "crossover" here's what the other automakers are throwing at us as competition.

2007 Mazda CX-7
2.3 liter, 244 hp turbocharged 4-cyclinder
6-speed automatic
18 mpg city/24 mgp hwy
$28,000 base price

The article about this car said the one negative was the gas mileage. Would you buy a 4-cyclinder that only gets 24 mpg? I think the price is ridiculous. Just another example of an automaker trying to recoup their R&D costs immediately.

 

No, I consider the Mazda 3 wagon as our competition.

 

I don`t consider either of those My compo, never considered even looking at Mazda.
Once I saw the Cruck, well , "Others need not apply".
When a Turbo is avail. that`s what I`ll be looking at.

I only get 24 - 27 MPG but thats only when I am driving my HHR at 110 MPH on the highway. I have the 2.4 it's kind of hard for me to drive at 55 MPH
but no I would never by a car that you are speaking about.

later
Safe driving

 

We have competition?

 

No we really don't have competition. They just like to think they'll draw interest away from the HHR. We know better!
