The Dutch government is offering a special Chevrolet HHR

Every year the government confiscates cars for many reasons. These are sold by the Ministry of Finance. Although most cars are not worth seeing, sometimes gems appear in the showroom of Domeinen Roerende Zaken.

This time there is a Chevrolet HHR for sale. You can bid on the vehicle through the government website. If you make the highest bid, you can take the car. This amount is not what you should pay for your new car. On top of your bid is a ‘buyer’s fee’ of 15 percent.

Chevrolet HHR

Shortly before the turn of the century, Chrysler’s design department thought it would be great if new models came to the market with a retro design that referred to the old American Rods. The PT Cruiser is well known among many car connoisseurs, although the technology and design are criticized by many. However, Chevrolet turned to the same designer, Bryan Nesbitt, for the HHR. The result: the same design, but with worse sales figures.

Despised

Despite the tasteful design, Chevrolet did not miss the goal of the Chevrolet Suburban (1949), on which the HHR is based. “Put on a surfboard or canoe and you’re ready for a long driving vacation or camping weekend. large external“We said during our first test. “The blind corners of the body took some getting used to, but the attractive design always attracted attention at gas stations and parking lots.”

“The interior of the HHR is a little pale in comparison to the distinctly retro body. The dashboard and seats look normal and apart from some chrome accents and a playfully arranged instrument cluster, there are few visible fireworks. The finish is well somewhere between Seoul and Detroit, with hard but tough plastic.

Only one run presented in Europe

“The Chevrolet HHR is a comfortable cruiser with comfortable seats, lots of space and lots of options. The equipment is all-American and all possible extras are included as standard. Our HHR had an automatic transmission and that’s a nice combination with the 2.4 liter engine. This is the only motorization that has come to Europe. It is good for 170 hp.

Autovisie concluded the review with the quote: “You have to drive it yourself to know the extra points.” A tasteful car, but worthless.

Chevrolet HHR in the state

Surprisingly, there is one now copy from the government for sale. The Chevrolet HHR is from 2007 and has driven over 186,000 km. The car is imported and has 200 cc less than the model that was produced in Europe. This retro car is good for 150 hp.

The American produced has some damage all around and is even missing a piece of the side window. However, it’s a very unique look that fans of American glamor and the unusual will probably agree with.
