And the HHR's window switches are in the middle, too. So there you go.
I like them both, although I do prefer the HHR. I had an HHR as a loaner for a couple of weeks and I averaged 27 MPG with my rough commute.

I found a ton of affordable PT Cruisers and a couple HHRs that I would have considered if they had abs.

I am amazed that so many manufacturers leave anti-lock braking systems off of their lower end cars like it is a luxury. If Honda and Hyundai can make it standard, than so can GM, Ford and Chrysler. They need to do it just to stay competitive.
