GMs problem is their marketing.. I've noticed since I bought my HHR, that I don't ever recall seeing any actual commercials featuring the car, no billboards, nothing. When I pull in to gas stations or parking lots, at least twice a month someone asks me "what kind of car is that??" surprise! its a chevy! AND i've gotten 35 mpg out of it. Granted, that was very easy driving, but I average 29 now with normal stop & go driving, plus cruising 75 or so. And I paid a whopping $11,900 for it with 13k miles. Could have bought a used one for around 13-14k, but it wouldn't have been optioned like i wanted. You can't tell me that's expensive.
BTW, good job Jim!
