Check out the crash test results, the HHR I believe gets all 5's.
The Xb and honda gets much worse.
Only honda can convince people to buy a car without paint on 2/3's of the body. And the scion looks like a tin can ready to collapse.
My wife's friend bought a Xb for almost 17k, I could not believe it, the Xb has only 103hp. My jet ski has 145hp, but people are lining up to buy that piece of crap and toyota is laughing all the way to the bank.

I love to spank some of the cars around here. Kids thinking their rides are all that when they look like some one just flushed it down the toilet lol. I have raced a few cars prob 2 or more every weekend. Hey I dont have any engine mods yet(key word YET) but man that I gear does one heck of a job. The HHR is getting respect around Upstate NY. I want to do more to the engine as soon as its availible. I only have the 2.2 and I am super impressed with it. One of my buddies has a 5.0 mustang and is VERY impressed on how I stay right with him and loves the take off of it. Sits him right back in the seat. Lets get some REAL engine power add ons here u know differant cams turbos etc. HINT HINT socalHHR (Mike) lol

I ran one of those little mini coopers yesterday.
I had HER by a car length as we hit 110,
... look ahead.... there went seaworld!
That's right, HAD her.
Rev limiter kicks in 
... there went the mini! 
Son of a motherless goat! Sure was fun though...

I actually looked at the Element before the HHR. After seeing the HHR, I still couldn't make up my mind, so I test-drove the Element to the Chevy dealership and parked them side by side. The only advantage the Element had there was more room in the back seats. But I don't have to ride in the back seat. There was no comparison in a side by side test. The Honda dealer was really ticked when I took the Element back and told him. The Chevy dealer offered to take it back for me. I should have let him.
