While comparing the 2006 Chevrolet HHR to the 1940s Suburban makes sense, many people see a stronger link to a certain modern day Chrysler. And as much as the folks at Chevy try to steer our thoughts away from Chrysler's PT Cruiser, the fact remains that these are remarkably similar vehicles. Dimensions between the two are nearly identical (the HHR is a bit longer, but the PT Cruiser has more cargo room), and the resemblance is unmistakable - as it should be, since designer Bryan Nesbitt sketched both. Inside, the HHR's layout and seating positions are similar to the PT Cruiser. On the outside, the 2006 Chevrolet HHR resembles the PT, but to the HHR's benefit, its angular shape and flat roofline result in a more masculine appearance. The differences are subtle, but enough to distinguish the HHR from the PT, though probably not while zooming down the highway at 80 mph.
