I agree with you that the HHR is best referred to as a compact wagon. To me, the "Utility Vehicle" designation is a reference to enhanced off-road capabilities (or appearances thereof!) with enhanced interior cargo volume (to distinguish it from a pickup truck), which is mostly synonymous with compromised road handling and compromised interior volume (as compared to a van), not to mention ego-driven compromised-intelligence ecological-imbeciles for SUV purchasers who are not off-roaders or have need to transverse deep snow (but don't ask me how I really feel! ).
