HHR: The New Retro Chevy

Could be seen as the successor of the highly succesful Cruiser. Based on the 1949 Suburban and already on sale in the US, it will be released now in Europe:

As the Critics in our local newspapers pointed out, it lags behind Chysler's PT Cruiser in performance and utility. Dubbed the "Me-too cruiser", it is a loser. Frumpy and dumpy wannabe cousin to the real thing. Chevy is a really weak company when it comes to reliability. We bought a 2004 Astro van for our restaurant and would never buy another Chevy product.

Thx for the info. I always liked the Cruiser but if I examine this model very close I'm not that impressed either.

Your comment on the reliability is surprising! Always thought Chevrolet was a good car. But if you have had such a bad experience with it, then they really have to do a little more work on their vehicles.

Now I can't comment on that since I've never driven 1.

BTW, since I have to wait another 2 months for my new Brabus and because my mom's Porsche (which I was driving) has been sold, I decided to temp the devil and lease a BMW 740i (2006 model). Ehhhmm, WOW, damn good automobile! The new look is sporty and the seats are almost better than at home! It drives heavenly and althought it's rather big, it has the needed power.

Here's some shots I took with my mobile!
