Chevrolet HHR: Why buy this instead of a Chrysler P.T. Cruiser?
Five years ago when the P.T. Cruiser first came out, it was totally unique and sold like lemonade in a heat wave. Now that it's been out for a while sales have slowed as many who wanted a retro-styled wagon now have one.
The market prospects for the HHR, Bell and Barker agree, look dismal.
Chevrolet will have to find a unique selling point for the HHR. The six inches of extra cargo space might help. Chevrolet's other unique selling point -- "We're putting a $4,000 rebate on it" -- could come into play as well.
