2006 Chevrolet HHR Preview
|
| Wrap-Up |

|
Chevy's version of the Chrysler PT Cruiser comes to market several years late and quite a few ponies shy since the PT Turbo generates 220 horsepower. And with PT Cruiser sales going soft, Chrysler is set to introduce an updated version that will compete with the "brand new" 2006 Chevrolet HHR. To say that the HHR faces an uphill battle would be a tremendous understatement. Despite these concerns, the General expects HHR annual sales to reach between 80-100,000 units starting in the fall of 2005. Pricing has not yet been announced. But it had better be cheap, what with all that cash on the hood of the Chrysler PT Cruiser, which is rated one of the most reliable cars by Consumer Reports.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
