Is The HHR A Proper Prizm Replacement?[edit]

The HHR slots in length between the Aveo and the Cobalt, just like what the Prizm was, slotting in length between the Metro and the Cavalier. The HHR is more expensive than the Cobalt, just like back then, when the Prizm was priced above the Cavalier. Just like HHR replaces Cavalier, the Caliber replaces the Dodge Neon.

Chevy HHR is not a Prizm replacement. It's a Cavalier wagon replacement. Cobalt is a Cavalier coupe and sedan replacement. Pontiac Vibe is the Prizm replacement as far as the Toyota/GM partnership is concerned and is based on the Toyota Corolla just like the Nova/Prizm. Yes, the Dodge Caliber replaces the Dodge Neon. And the Chrysler PT Cruiser replaced the Plymouth Neon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.36.14.162 (talk • contribs).

The HHR is not a replacement for the Prizm and it does not slot in between the Aveo and Cobalt. It's a wagon variant of the Cobalt, but with unique styling and name. This is much in the same way as the Matrix being a hatchback variant of the Corolla. Roguegeek (talk) 01:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

the car that is now being produced in the Fremont California NUMMI plant is the Pontiac Vibe. so technically that is the prizm replacement. toyota motor, GM car. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.8.249.246 (talk) 17:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Why does it have to "replace" anything? Can't a car just be added to a lineup without succeeding another?199.76.182.18 (talk) 16:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Knock Off?[edit]

Regarding this statement: "(to the point where many consider it a knock-off)" -- who are the "many" that are referenced? Please provide a source to back this up, then re-add the statement. KansaiKitsune 19:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Such a thing would need to be sourced, rather than just being your own personal analysis. Also, there is a turbocharged version, specifically for people looking for increased performance. Friday (talk) 22:58, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Is this is even an SUV?[edit]

Since this is just a Cobalt with a hatch and different body pannels (in the exact same vein as the Toyota Matrix and the Corrola), why is they being refered to as an SUV? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.66.48 (talk) 00:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, checking the sources say that the HHR is a wagon. Heck, the HHR doesn't even have an AWD drivetrain option. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.66.48 (talk) 00:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree that "wagon" is how many sources refer to this body style and is an appropriate description. However I have noticed, on other articles, an inexplicable (to me) resistance to the term "wagon". Maybe it's mostly a North American term? Friday (talk) 16:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Line Drop?[edit]

Since the Cobalt was dropped from production, I assume (and have heard) all vehicles made on the Cobalt platform are being dropped as well, which includes the HHR. Quick searches haven't yielded any press releases about it. Any word on whether the HHR is being adapted for the Cruze platform or eventually being dropped? Fickce4 (talk) 04:01, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

There are no official plans; any reports are speculation for now. It was expected that the Cruze-based Orlando would replace the HHR, but currently GM isn't planning on selling the Orlando in North America, so the HHR will last at least another year or two. --Vossanova ^o< 17:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Apparently, unfortunately, it's now official.

Edits[edit]

Greetings, this Automotive News story could be used as a source for the design section as it mentions Nesbitt being the designer for the HHR and his move to GM from Chrysler. GMArchivist (talk) 18:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

This Wards Auto story "Recession Takes Toll on Mexican Auto Industry" could be used as a citation for the section regarding the HHR in Mexico. Also, the Chevrolet Mexico website lists the Captiva Sport, Suburban, Tahoe, and Traverse as being their SUV and Crossover offerings for 2011 and is another good source for possible citation.
