The guy that did most of the design work on the HHR previously worked for Chrysler, and designed the PT Cruiser. He did a good job of capturing the past in both modern designs. HHR stands for Heritage High Roof, which I guess is their way of saying "classic looking truck thing, but more like a car"! Underpowered with a little 4 banger, but a nice look. They were also available with covered rear windows, like a panel van.
