I’ve got five granddaughters and two daughters that rely on me to fix their cars, but even so I thought about donating, until Jex mentioned the HHR.
Not the very worst cars GM ever built (And they have built some real stinkers) But it was always well below average, scoring number 20 out of 32 competitors.
Anyhow, these were all built in Mexico, they weren’t that well-made, and didn’t sell very well. GM quit building them after just five or six years.
And the manufacturing engineers spent 4 years to set up the production plant to build the new car. GM lost their shorts on this one.
The only reason it lasted so long is that they only had to pay Mexican wages instead of Los Angeles wages to build it. And it was a successful styling exercise.
My neighbor bought a brand new HHR in 2008. He only kept it for six months.He lost his shorts on that deal too.
