Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The HHR's name refers to its 62.5-inch "Heritage High Roof," which is inspired by the 1949 Chevy Suburban. The retro shout-out in the HHR's name continues in its styling, which reviewers see as a high point. If you're looking for retro styling in a wagon, be sure to check out the Mini Clubman and the Chrysler PT Cruiser.

• "GM might not appreciate comparisons between the Chevrolet HHR and the retro-styled PT Cruiser, but the HHR is unabashedly designed to resemble a vehicle from the past, just as the Cruiser is. In Chevrolet's case, that vehicle is the 1949 Suburban, which ranks as one of the first utility vehicles." -- Cars.com
• "If there's ever been a case of a picture of a so-called SUV being worth a thousand words, the HHR should be it. It looks like a 1949 panel delivery truck, with the edges smoothed over." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Chevy's Me-Too Cruiser isn't quite as cute as Chrysler's original. The molded Jell-O shape is too soft to make a compelling statement. Still, we're charmed." -- Car and Driver
