So instead of one HHR - Chevy will split the segment with two crossover products.
Let's just hope that GM doesn't badge engineer these for other brands in North America (No underfunded/wasted Saturn version is needed, thank you!) |
It would be a darned shame it they dumped the HHR, for two reasons: one, it's a great looking little car - and it's a plus that it taps into Chevy's history (remember: Hyundai, Toyota, et al. have no such history to draw on); and two, it'd be another manifestation of GM's ADD approach to branding. Build up a good name with the HHR, then . . . look, there's a squirrel! . . . come out with a whole new name and a whole new car, then wonder why no one's paying attention.
