2006 Chevrolet HHR

Chevrolet calls this vehicle the HHR for "Heritage High Roof". It's styled after the 1949 Suburban, but built on the compact platform shared by the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion.

I call this model "inventory" because I predict that it will sit on dealers' lots even longer than Chevy's retro-styled truck, the SSR. The last time I checked, the SSR had one of the highest "days inventory" of any vehicle.

The HHR was clearly planned during the heyday of the Chrysler PT Cruiser. Now Chrysler is struggling to keep the PT Cruiser viable, and it looks like Chevrolet is late to a party that's already ending.
