Scion Xb versus Chevy HHR

Which one is better? Both start around $16,000.. but only the Scion has ABS, side curtain airbags and traction control, standard.. The HHR has a nice and durable plastic clad trunk area and fold flat rear seats (Xb has chintzy fabric covering and flimsy trunk cover flap)
Both vehicles are good on gas- 28 and 30 mpg respectively. The Xb has more standard horsepower and is more fun to drive than the HHR. The HHR is styled like an old 1940's milk truck whereas the Xb is styled very high tech modern.. Maybe these vehicles both suck.. but please consider that we are looking for an affordable and roomy "novelty" vehicle with lots of curb appeal, one we can decorate with graphics and make it into a "WeeBIKE.com-mobile". It will also receive some graphics of the new M1 Racing Team. Thoughts? Opinions? Alternatives?

Take your 16 grand, buy one or two 3-6 grand Eurovans. Save the 10-13 grand as keep it running cash.

The mileage isn't much worse (20-25) and the vehicle is way bigger (Billboard outside, product inside).

But then. it wouldn't be new. Or cool.

The SSR is cool. The HHR is fahking retahded.

I have owned my XB for 10 days and only put 200 miles on it. It's a good vehicle for the price. I wanted a sunroof but the limited did not get announced until after I bought mine. I don't like the gold anyway. I like the styling of the HHR, but I've given GM enough chances in the past. They have good designs, but they can't build anything well. Scion is not on Toyota, but as of 2008 still made in Japan. Hard to go wrong quality wise. Driving position takes some getting used to. Mileage is not that great. Cars suck, but IMHO the XB sucks less than most.

Those cars are too round.
