I'm not a fan of the MKZ or the HHR (HHR is about as ugly as it gets). The trailblazer is a pretty good SUV, nothing I would ever consider taking off road, but definately a good on road SUV. The most exciting car in this discussion is the fiesta, a subcompact 5 door hatchback that can handle is a great car, especially with the gas mileage it gets.

I bought a Honda Fit a few months back, and while I'm not super impressed with its power, it is overall an excellent car, comfortable, spacious, doesn't feel cheap, and it is great on gas (seen 50+ mpg a few trips).

I drove a ford focus hatch for 8 years and I love that car, it did everything I asked of it plus more. I'm definately looking forward to what the fiesta can do and how it is recived by the public.

So is the Fiesta replacing the focus then? they bear a lot of resemblance to each other.

Festiva = ancient history
Fiesta = this car
Focus = still around, larger than a Fiesta

Tommy. Yeah wife n I like the green but we worry that after a few years (remember we purchasing) that the green will get annoying. Keep it simpler. Ya know

Derf, its cool. Some hate and some luv the hhr. But the people who like em, luv em. I know more than a dozen households that have either 2 hhr's in the garage at once or simply traded in 1 for a new 1 (repeat buyer). Their following is big. Just not for everybody. Plus it got a big recommendation from my service guy at the chevy dealer (riding friend). He said chevy simply doesn't have problems with it.

And yes the fiesta is about honda fit size. My wife knows a bunch of engineers at ford's tt say its one hell of a car. We are excited to get it.

Oh and I got my first and second teenage kid comments on the hhrss. 16yr old boy commented on the nice led tail lights and wanted to know how fast it was. Then neighbors kid (18yr old) asked when I got the new whip.

Your the first person I know that liked the HHR. Have fun with it not my thing. I wouldn't mind the fiesta though to save gas with. They are very successful in Europe for 30 or so years. I drove various ones when I was stationed in Germany, slow as hell but helped save on the ridiculous price of gas there.
