I am truly impressed.

i have to agree.. that thing is fugly.... ugh!


chevy go back to making your trucks with large non effecient engines.. cause you cant design for nuts.

Yea a LS2 push rod motor that puts out 400HP and can get 30MPG on the highway, what a peice of junk :roll:



At least this one, unlike the PT, has a little bit of power. 220HP from a 4cyl.

Because the PT Cruiser Turbo has a weak 215 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 245 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm, right? :roll:

LOL at you not noticing "Turbo" ... Then again it doesn't say that its not a turbo.

wow, that front end is so similar they could probably be sued for copyright infringement. Way to come out with some unique, Chevy :roll: From the rear it looks like a Durango, too. Whatever happened to creating something different, that stands out? That's ugly, but it's a bland ugly. At least stuff like the Aztek is an ugly that stands out, gets noticed.

Designed by the same guy that penned the PT Cruiser

ewwww... looks like dodge ram and durango tag teamed a PT crusier and that's what came out ...


"Chevy says they aim to sell 100,000 HHRs a year"... kinda like Pontiac predicted to sell 70K Assteks a year.

I don't see the design direction in this thing at all. Anyone know what the old model (retro) was?

 

[EvilYoda]

huh...I didn't even know this was in the plans. Wish I still didn't

Why are they going back to these old ass styles? They look like middle to old age people' cars. I'm so glad they've cut back on those station wagons but these cruisers or cruiser likes are disgusting.

Well, here's news: The "baby boomers" are becoming middle-to-old aged people, and there are a lot of them.

That said, sales on the PT are falling off. What makes Chevy think that people will flock to "more of the same" again?

They're middle age but there's better models to bring back. Designs such as the '66 mustang or '69 Corvette. Why don't they bring those designs back instead of these ugly boxes on wheels.

yuck. I liked the "old school" aspect of the PT, but this thing looks like crap. I hope the stripped tape doesn't make the production model.

Production model (sketch)

Looks like a Jeep Liberty and a PT cruiser mated.

Well, the "stole" the designer of the PT Cruiser so that's why

 

[Doggiedog]

Is Chevy that stupid?

Do they think just because people are middle aged they have no taste?

if any company could do it.. it would be GM... for sure!
I don't think it looks like the PT at all.. which I like the looks of (not the ragtop!)
I just think it looks awkward and strange.
