Summary
The Chevy HHR is an SUV that celebrates the classic looks of the 1949 Chevy panel delivery truck. It's available with a great little engine, the 2.4-liter Ecotec. It's front-wheel drive, so it's not ideal for winter weather or going off the pavement, and it offers a mere 55.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The fact that the seats can fold flat helps increase the utility. But in the end, it's all about styling.NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed this report from the Pacific Northwest's Columbia River Valley.
