Chevy Packs Versatility and a 'High Roof' into All-New HHR ...
While Chevrolet would like to put some distance between the front- wheel-drive HHR and its key competitor, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, comparisons are inevitable. Thanks to characteristics of their lower- body design, both are categorized as 'trucks,' for government fuel economy testing purposes, which benefits both Chevrolet and Chrysler's corporate fuel economy averages. Since their four cylinder engines and comparatively light weights contribute to fuel economy estimates in the mid-to-high 20-mile- per-gallon range, those better-than-average numbers help boost the overall truck fuel economy averages for both manufacturers. In 1975, Congress passed Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in response to the oil embargo of the early 1970s to help boost fuel economy of cars and light trucks sold in the United States. Despite its 'truck' designation in some circles, HHR is built off of the compact Cobalt car platform. The world's largest automaker debuted the all-new Chevrolet Cobalt in the 2005 model year as a replacement for the long-running compact Cavalier. The HHR is not designed to tow large cargo since it handles about 1,000-pounds. It's built strictly for on-road travel; off road adventures are not recommended. Exterior: The high stance of HHR makes the vehicle stand out from a pack. Although the stance is high, ground clearance is low. The raised hood comes to a nose-like point in front with a large, tall grille made up of horizontal slats and a Chevrolet bow tie logo front and center.

They also shaved some of the body emblems and added a Continental kit. After it was all straight and cherry, candy Oriental blue paint was laid down on everything that didn't move and some things that did. There's no way that a car of this caliber wouldn't have murals and they hit up one of the best in the biz when they put Fonzy of Air Shot in Montebello, California, behind the airbrush. The whole Hustler theme came to life when Fonzy laid down the hyenas, money, white tiger and Ben Franklin taking car of biz.
