Bob Lutz is going to run GM into the ground.

It looks like a Dodge Ram pickup mated with a PT cruiser.

GM should not have sunk the Camaro line. Bet they are banging there collective heads on the wall with all the Mustang hype. Go Mustang Go!

What size will these be? Even the interior looks like a PT Cruiser. GM seems to have falen on hard times, in the styling department (but I like Caddies). Lincoln seems to be headed down hill as well.

This just proves they don't ask their core customers in for focus groups and opinion polls. Lutz better ditch this idea quick after it falls on its face.

the car looks to be like the Envoy(not XUV just the base size)...i hear it has an Ecotec in it-Front wheel drive??

Lutz needs to pay more attention to what his customers want, hes not trying to compete it looks like he wants to lead in his own class of autos.

It's built on the Cobalt underpinnings and uses a 2.4L Ecotec.

BTW, HHR stands for Heritage High Roof.

Are these people not aware of the PT Cruiser?

Paint it yellow, it looks like the short bus.

In a previous post I said that HHR stood for Heritage High Roof. After much contemplation, I think it should stand for Heavy, Heavy Rebates!

And to think, I thought Bob Lutz would fix GM. Glad I didn't bet money on that one.

But I have to say, it's nice to see someone ripping off the Mopar boys for a change.

The guy who designed the PT Cruiser is working for GM now, and penned this design... I think he needs to get out more(and stop looking at the SSR)

Not sure about the size, but I think it is comprable to the PT, kinda an American MPV

Cadillac seems to be making cars that people want because their sales were up in 04.

I'd love a Pontiac Solstice.

this will be a flop, like the ssr. a local dealer has had an ssr for a looooong time now, and cant give it away.

It looks like a bad attempt to mimic the PT Cruiser,
