2011 Chevrolet HHR SL1

Our 2011 HHR (those initials signify 'Heritage High Roof') is itself a unique vehicle, looking like a shrunk-down and retro-styled homage to Chevy's Suburban wagon of roly-poly fender and bulging roofline vintage, circa 1949. Or maybe it's a mutational mixing of the vintage Suburban and Chevy's more recent SSR pop-top convertible pickup due to the forward fenders articulated in edgy bulges and a spherical stepped hood protrusion blunted in front by an in-your-face grille. Any way you look at it, the lines, a boxy but rolled body with exaggerated fenders and that chin-out grille, plus a roll of sheetmetal wrapping around the top-heavy rear, suggest both old and new forms, as if a gigantic blender, filled with assorted automotive concepts as diverse as a beach buggy, panel truck, hot rod and even a minivan, were whipped up in a concoction that's fresh and clever and way too-cool. This top-level 2LT gets a 2.4-liter engine that makes 172-hp at 5800 rpm with torque rising to 167 ft-lbs at 4500 rpm. Fuel economy for the 2.4 is rated at 22-mpg city, 30-mpg highway. Then, our HHR 2LT goes further with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, 260-watt Pioneer sound system, heated leather seats, power sunroof, sporty FE3 suspension tuning with StabiliTrak plus 17-inch aluminum wheels and chrome exterior trim elements. The HHR is much more than just a competitor for Chrysler’s PT Cruiser. While both offer a unique exterior shape, the HHR is designed to be an everyday vehicle the family can enjoy. Consider it a Malibu dressed in retro-style. Comfortable and fun-to-look-at, if owning something different is your forte, this may be the family sedan of your dreams!
