I'm pretty sure the PT Cruiser and the HHR were designed by the same person. He left Chrysler and went to GM.

LOL...I agree. What I meant by clone was stylistically, they're nearly identical. MANY people have told me they can't tell the difference from far away. In my opinion the PT looks better, but mostly only because it was ORIGINAL in it'* design at the time, and Chevy copied that.

I agree that the HHR is probably a better vehicle, the PT is simply an older gen Neon underneath.

Don't worry Ryan, you're not the only one that loves the HHR, I love them and have occasionally thought about selling the Bonneville for one of them.

I love the SS and the top-of-the-line version.

(Don't worry, I'm not selling the Bonneville for one of them)

They actually were designed by the same person, exactly as you said
