2007 HHR Changes

Cargo net is no longer available on LS models
Horsepower and torque changes

source: gminsidenews

Looks like Daytona Blue HHR's just went up in value!

So......still no word on an SS or Superchaged version?


That "Horsepower and torque changes" looks suspicious...

What dose Imperial Blue look like? SS??

Not many changes.

i wonder if running boards will become standard, and if they do, do those of us who dont have them and are very lucky not to have the chipped paint, yet, can get them for free.

I don't think Chevy will ever make the running boards standard. They make too much money off of them.

worth a try, but i might just swing up there and see what i can get.

Did horsepower go up or down? :confused:

Ng

I dropped the idea of the "spring edition" and sales department said the "ss" should be turbo, not sure the engine size at this time...:<:<

chevy is never going to belly up on free runing boards. they can't even sell them at a fair price. a compant that is loosing money does not have the ability to give crap away. don't hold you breath. chevy needs to start thinking style and power. thats what people want. turbos, superchargers, autostick and maybe even a SS model. nothing special is comming from chevy for 07 i'm sure. :thumbsdow :(

I agree. :beer:

I'm curious about the teal color.

Isn't teal a ugly sea green type color. I personally dont like green except for money. ;)

But it's golden teal so it seem like an odd combo. :confused:

Damn, you beat me to it jonyyb!!!

dose any one have pics of these two new colors the Horspower Change may be the SS, have to wait and see, the black leather seats sound suspicious to maybe they will have color inserts for the SS?

HUH? :confused:

iThink that since they are adding Horsepower maybe in the 220 range and adding black leather seats with color inserts this could be the SS in Disquise.

Why don't we not guess. ;) There is no indication of different colored inserts, they are adding a whole new interior color. :smile:

yesi am just saying it could be offered. Dose any one have pics of the new colors?

I am sure if there were any photos they would be posted. But why not do the seaching yourself. Stop being lazy and do some footwork yourself if you want to see soemething. :roll: :roll:

Can't wait to hear about the hp changes. Certainly hope it's up and not down.

No word on price changes I assume?

same here hope the HP is more than it is, i have a feeling that the new blue is sort of like the pt blue. I will serch and see what i can find and if i find anything i will be sure to post it. :thumb:

Found out what the New blue is going to look like they offer it in canada,

heres the link,

http://gmca-config.autodatadirect.com/GMCanada/buildYourVehicle.html

Build a Chevy Optra they have it as a color option. Dont now how it looks in person tho.

Denim was different
i dont think i like the imperial blue

still like my daytona blue better and i am a biker
fits

I agree - the "Imperial Blue" just doesn't compare to Daytona Blue.

It may be lighter but i will have to wait and see it in person in july.

I work at an International Truck dealer, and I seen a Daytona Blue new truck.
I love the color and am going to use it on a 2 tone or flames on my HHR.
I can't wait to see the new blue for the 2007 HHR's.
Sikkens paint code 6E62

my guess is that the HP boost is actually just a recalculation...

I agree with wheelsee.

Yep, looks like my Daytona Blue Metallic just went up in value.

I like the IB...but I wont be trading my DBM in anytime soon...

-wC

it is close to the midnight blue i used for the 2 tone on mine

Its almost black went to talk to my friens Billy at my local Chevy Dealer and he showerd me a piant sample of it and it made me sick. If i dont like the new blue i will just get a sliverstone and go to the body shop to have them pain the bottom Daytona. Imperial made me sick. I qm going to call GM and see why they are discounting Daytona tonight.

well I dont think they are discounting it but they will be discontinuing it...and why go to the paint shop we've all seen the awesome job with the Road Ripper why not do it on a bigger scale...

:laughabov I didn't even catch that at first. :red: I have just gotten used to it by now. :lol:

I Talked to a GM Personal this eveing, she said tha tthe daytona Blue is not in production any more because it dident make sales. She also wanted to know if there were any improvements that i would like to see in the upcomming HHR Modles. I tould her that i woul like to see a SS Version with at least 210 Hp, Custimizible HHR like the Scions which offer a full line of factory proformace parts, for us tunner people. And differnt Rim choices pluse size rims, 18s possibly, She said that she would pass it on to the Enigniners and desingers. If you woul like to input on this give chevy a call at 1-800-222-1020. Dial and say 3 ( extension) She said that she dident know about the SS, and to call back in 4 week. I will keep you updated.

Apparently, they have not polled the So. Fl. market. The Daytona Blue is the most popular on the streets here in Miami. Have seen no less than a dozen driving around town. That's about half of all the ones I've seen in Miami.

She also wanted to know if there were any improvements that i would like to see in the upcomming HHR Modles. She said that she would pass it on to the Enigniners and desingers.

Yeah, I'm sure she will! I bet she enjoyed blowing sunshine up your rear.:D

I'll bet all you'll get is more sunshine.:cool:

Imperial Blue

Not too bad of a color, but seeing as how my Daytona Blue is such a rare color (at least according to O6chevy) and soon to become a collector's, I'm definitly going to keep my DB!

i will have to wait and see the imperial blue in person, yep sunshine, sunshine,sunshine. Will see.

It also looks like the colors are more limited on the LS model. Only choices are going to be Sandstone, Black, Sport Red & Silverstone, for retail.:(

Not sure what that GM "Personal", uumm...think you mean Personnel, was smoking but not sure how she can say Daytona Blue is not making sales. Daytona Blue is one of the most popular colors of the HHR. I see more Daytona Blue, Black, and Silver more than any color out there.

TXsman is right. When I was searching for my HHR I pulled up window stickers from dealers all over SoCal. Daytona Blue, Daytona Blue, Daytona Blue, Daytona Blue, Daytona Blue, - everywhere!

The main reason I didn't buy Daytona Blue is because I didn't want to have the same color as everyone else! :lol:

(*I still think Becky's DB is the bomb though...great color!) :thumb:

Thanks, Mike... :thumb: I think I'll keep mine, too. :smile:

CJ,

I think that is an '07 change...

If that's all the dealers have left, then it mustn't be selling as well as the other colors. ;)

I was waiting till '07 to get a yellow HHR, but it looks like that's not in the cards. Any yellow HHR's out there?

I would venture to guess there might be one...but it's not direct from GM.

I was referring to the yellow that the person above said they were looking for. :confused: :lol:

Someone mentioned dealing with Chevy on running boards, well I contacted the service manager where I bought my HHR and he told me to talk to my salesman about trying to get a discount at least...Hey a break is a break!!! I just wasn't thinking when I bought mine, but I was so happy about getting it that I didn't really give it a thought.

a yellow HHR would be nice, like the colorado Yellow!

My husband saw a bright yellow HHR in Orange County, CA last week. It had a full vinyl mask on the whole car. It was advertising for their product. Of course, he did not have his camera. But he did say that it looked really good in bright chrome yellow. He thought maybe it was Yoo-hoo or Nestle...:confused:

I smell BS.
Either the person you talked too didn't have a clue or they are trying to drive up the resale on a particular color. (Although I wouldn't know why??)

My dealer had to go out 300 miles to get my Daytona Blue HHR and the dealership my mom works for couldn't get one at all. I almost got a black one because our search was so fustrating.

My black HHR was the only HHR I could find in Saskatchewan. No other colors where out there. This was in October 05.

I saw the ebony/gray interior on a "spring edition" and it looks sharp. Any word on whether it will be offered as an option in 2007 on all models?
MOTORMIKE.

When are the newer ones going to be shown on the internet (Chevrolet.com I mean) and at dealers? It seems like they come out with new models throughout the year, not a new year revision at once (Like I would have thought).

Is the Ebony interior option going to include a darker/blacker dash? I like this, especially if it's deep black, I think it would look good.

So even if one day an SS version does not come out, where would one go about getting new upholstery done? The only reason why I want an SS (And I don't even really want a supercharged one if I can't have one) is that it's my initials and I've always had a thing about what the SS does and how it looks. I would just love to have the badges on the car, as well as two-toned leather seats (black/red is so sexy). This is the only thing that separates my interest with a Cobalt as well (as I consider both on the top of my new-car list), for what makes the HHR better than it in my mind is the expanded storage room (I'm going to be traveling a lot, and need room for climate-controlled guitars/amps/gear that nothing other than a wagon-type design could take care of), and the 6-disc changer that the Cobalt does not have.

Sure I'd love to have the kind of power that I'm used to in my Intrigue (and looking at dynos on the internet for the Cobalt SS Supercharged - I could get it, even with 2 less cylinders) and the thought of a supercharged HHR makes me giddy, but I don't think the Chevy sees the HHR community wanting one (Except for the few - which might be all of us on here). However, I could use the better MPG, but even supercharged is better than what I get currently.

This link was very helpful. Apparently Ebony seats will be available but not the Ebony/Gray of the spring edition, which I liked. I'll have to see the Ebony seats before I decide whether I like them or not. Why the E/G combo is not available beats me. MOTORMIKE

I saw one today and the interior is out of place with the bright orange red. I would like to see a cream with darker tan interior for that paint job. Just my opinion. Did not care for the wheels either.

Darn the daytona blue was my fave color! OH well...the darker interior should be nice.....guess we shall see.....

When I went they had 3 silver, 1 black, 1 daytona blue, ...said they could barely keep them on the lot due to their popularity. So far my guy said the Black and Silver were the favorites of their customers. ;)

I wanted to by an HHR this year, actually ever since I saw my first one last August, but my wife said we needed to wait until September.

Now that I have seen the Imperial Blue I am so happy I waited. I thought the Daytona Blue was nice but in certain lights it looks purple and that turned me off.

Hopefully the Imperial Blue looks as nice in person as it does in the small pic.

One dealer in Texas told us that the color "White" has been dropped from the 2007 color selection.

Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Thanks

According to edmunds.com, there will be white available in LT models. Just click on the color chart tab and you will see both LS and LT colors. See information HERE (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/MediaNav/year=2007/make=Chevrolet/model=HHR/firstNav=Gallery#). :thumb:

Hey all:

The items standard to the 2007 LS are as follows:


Running Boards (yes...they are standard)
Tinted Windows
Power locks and windows
Air Conditioning
Keyless Entry
Ebony Interior (looks cool)

There are more, but just off the top of my head.

Welcome.

Yup same as 2006 except the boards are standard in Canada only I believe and the ebony interior is not standard but one of three color choices for the interior.

Here something I found, Hope it not a repost...

HHR Fall Edition, 2007 (http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37039)

About running board, I heard that they install as a warranty, running board on HHR that been sold with out them, because off salt and gravel in winter, the front wheel take the paint off the rear door....

a yellow HHR would be nice, like the colorado Yellow!

I'd LOVE to see the bright yellow in a factory HHR... :thumb:

I still cannot figure out why so many vehicle manufacturers think that the dull darker colors are what the public demands???

Why not bring back some of those cool Muscle car colors of the 60's like the Plum Crazy Purple, Dodge Challenger Bright Orange, Bright Lime Green?

And why not try some of those cool two-tone colors of the 1950's like the bright Teal and White or the famous Bright Red and White?

If they are trying to sell the HHR as a retro looking car, try some retro colors!!! I'm sure they'd sell a lot more to the younger crowd if they look at all the bright colors kids are painting their "Tuners"...

I personally think the Special Edition Red HHR and the Daytona Blue HHR are the sweetest looking ones available. And now they are no longer available? GM is going to ruin the HHR sales all together if they keep bringing out dull colors.
:confused:

Amen...we need some retro colors to really make them stand out...but then again, my Sunburst Orange already does. :lol:

Very true, Deb...

The Orange Burst is another one of those cool bright colors that really stand out in a crowd. Luckily they are keeping the Orange Burst for 2007.

I did see the new 2007 Imerial Blue this last weekend and it was sitting next to a 2007 Black HHR and it was hard to tell the difference between the two colors on a cloudy day. I actually thought there were 2 Black HHRs next to each other until I took a really close look. I assume some may like the darker blue but it is not too far from the black in person.

They REALLY should have kept the Daytona Blue... :(

I bought the sprig edition and this color will also be discontinued next year acording to the chevy dealer.

Welcome to the best HHR forum around!

Victory Red was a limited edition colour on a limited edition HHR. If I recall you got one of only 2300 produced!

I really like the Dark Grey, as with the black interior, almost gives a grim appearance. The guys at work really like it.

As for the other colours, I don't like the Black or the White as those colours are way to plain. I must admit that the sunburst orange WAS starting to grow on me, even though at first I thought it was too loud.

Colour is always a very personal choice, but what I really hope for, is Chev does one or two more years for the HHR, and then stop production. That way, the car/truck/suv will retain its uniqueness, AND value.
