I have a feeling that this is going to be the least popular color. There is a majestic amethyst HHR that has been sitting on one of the local lots ever since they hit my area. It could also be that it is a base model with only two options. It has the spoiler and the premium stereo. I think they stocked it to try and appeal to the youth market (cheap, odd color, big spoiler, and a OK stereo) but it has backfired on them.

I live in Monroe, Georgia and their is a lady with one in our town. Mine is Black and side by side it makes hers look a totally different car. In my oppinion, very ugly. In our area, I have seen a two black ones, including mine, a dark silver grey, a blue, the orange, the beige bronze, by the way; very nice and the purple.

Not to sound sexist but I think women are going to be the :one: buyer of that color. ;) My choice of colors was either dark silver or black. I went with dark silver because I found a dark silver 2LT on a local lot with all the options I wanted. If I wanted black with my choice of options I would have had to order from the factory and wait or dealer swap and not see my vehicle until it arrives. I'm not a very patient man so I signed on the one that was avalible.

I have the Beige Bronze (Sandstone) the nice one (HA), in the Atlanta area, live in Sugar Hill, Ga (North Atlanta Gwinnett County), work in south Atlanta.

HHR's are popping up all over Atlanta area. When I was looking, dealers here were selling the loaded ones, pretty quickly. Lower end ones, not as quick, just an observation, not in depth knowledge though!!

Maybe see you Holmes, out cruising!!

I think you are right about the purple. Mine is black and have installed running lites above running board, under the door pannel. The lites are amber. Had Wild Willies install. Look cool. My interior is tan leather. Do you by any chance ever come to the Conyers area? Maybe the Sandstone was yours, I saw.

Sounds Cool! :cool: Could you post a pic?

I finally saw the color that you are talking about. It does seem more like a women's color.

Did you see it in person? Its even worse up close. :barf:

Hey! I got that color and I'm most definitely no woman! All my friends like it and i haven't seen it aywhere else in Dallas so i guess it stands out.

Sorry, I'm not trying to offend! I personaly don't think you'll see to many on the road so you could end up with a rarer HHR than the rest. Did you have your heart set on that color when you chose to get a HHR or did you choose it off of the lot? I'm not a big fan of purple but I have seen a couple of nice dark purple older cars that I have liked. My former neighbor had a dark purple 68' Camaro and it looked nice.

Actually it was the only one on the lot. I really wanted Daytona Blue but salesperson at the dealership that I was dealing with told me I'd have to wait a week and a half to get it (that was after she at first told me a day or two) when I was already at the lot ready to buy. I didn't want to wait so I went somewhere else and got it. :D

I see your just as patient as me. LOL! :beer:

Can you post pictures of it? I only see that color on the chevy website and not close in person. It does stand out tho. I'm sure when its clean and shinny you must get alot of attention.

If it was a different color purple it wouldnt be so bad.

Agreed, a deeper shade.

oh my you GUYS! I have that color,and I love it! Everyone who looks at it up close claims they love it to...If they were to do a deeper purple, it would look ALOT like the PT...which I hate. Up close you can really see the flakes in the paint, and also at night and sunset it looks as if it changes color.....AND I'M A GIRL....LOL.

Post pics Techno...when you can. :thumb:

I have tried to post a picture before, but did not work. Maybe I did something wrong.
Could you give me some walk through instructions on how to?

If that has a spoiler, then the dealer bought a primered spoiler and did the paint himself because they are not available from the factory (even though they are not installed in Mexico, shipped from England) with a spoiler. I would be interesed if they have an OEM or after market spoiler...

Its the factory spoiler. I have to go to the dealership today so I'll see if I can get a pic.

I do agree with Teknobunie if it was in a dark purple it would be more like a PT. Plus when the car came out I saw many of those purple ones.

I interested in what you see, the amethyst is an odd color and you are probably correct. Maybe they thought a spoiler would give it more appeal. I know the dealer I bought my 2LT from sold one to his mother - 2LT, It looked fine, just an odd color, but hey, she was smiling! lol

B.Fenrir

Darker would be cool, but as it stands, I like the color. it sometimes looks grey, sometimes purple and always looks 100% COOL. I love my purple HHR with my purple neon undercar kit (ricer or not) I drive it and no one else has to, its the only one I've seen here in Dallas like it, and its ALL MINE!!!! :thumb: :D :one: :hhr:

Can you post pictures of it with the neon kit at night?

I'll try. My camera is ultra cheap and the pics don't come out that great.

I posted pics in the gallery, but i will try to host some here, let's see if this works.....

Lookin' Good, Techno! :thumb: :thumb: Nice color in the daylight. I bet it looks pretty sweet at night too. Amethyst would look great with silver ghost flames on it! Keep cruisin...in a funky kind 'o way!

LOL, Thank you Thank you! I can not say how much I love the color....I was thinking about silver ghost flames, and some more chrome! I want to make it my "Al Capone" car....old 20's gangsta theme.....

Well. you san save big money on wheels if you buy some chrome smoothies and thick whitewalls! I know where you can get some fake bullet holes for the back! :D

Go, Gangsta Girlie!

Please don't put the fake bullet holes on! That is a trend with PT buyers in my area. I see them on cruisers all the time. :hhr: There is also a guy where I work that has them stuck all over his rust bucket F-150.

I bought a 2LT with Majestic Amethyst and am thrilled with the color. And I am definitely NOT a girl. I was not looking for this color originally (based on pictures on website) until I saw it at the dealership.

The color is very unique and, as others have said, changes colors depending on the lighting conditions. It can appear light bluish-purple in direct sunlight to dark grey in dusk/overcast, etc. As a consequence, it's also pretty hard to photograph accurately. Definitely see worth seeing it in person.

The color looks better on overcast days. The spoiler was not mentioned on the build sheet so I know it had to be added by the dealership. Now they have also added running boards and chip deflectors trying to sell it.

The factory steel wheels are ugly!

I Wish I had that spoiler on mine.

I Wish I had that spoiler on mine.

You like that? The spoiler doesn't match the style of the vehicle. It looks like it belongs on a Civic. The parts guy at my dealership tried selling me one and when I told him flat out that I thought it is ugly he tried telling me that I should buy it just to keep snow off of my rear window. You have got to love salesmen. :roll:

I just looked at mine and ya know, on second thought I like mine with just the roof rails. That spoiler is kinda wack.

I HAPPEN TO BE A MAN AND 65 YEARS YOUNG AND DONT SEE HOW U THINK IT IS UGLY, IT REALLY SHINES WHEN WASHED , I TOOK IT RITE OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR. O I FORGOT MY WIFE IS A RED HATTER AND IT FITS PREFECTILLY WITH HER PURPLE OUTFIT, I'M SURE YOU YOUNGSTERS DONT NO WHAT RED HATTERS ARE, OR DO YOU.?

Purple is not that flattering of a color for a car but thats just my opinion. I also feel its a little girlie but thats also my opinion. I'm 28 and I know the red hatters are a group of broads over fifty with some type of national organization but have know idea what they do. :confused: I like cars not organizations. :thumb:

Just happen to know here in Plymouth they have "Red Hatters"! I have nothing against the color, matter of fact it almost has that chrome illusion effect. There isn't a color I wouldn't take in an HHR. I'll be hornswaggled, they put a spoiler on it. I know when I ordered mine they did not offer it as an option for the color. Thanks for the pics Captain!

U took the words right out of my mouth! :beer:



BUT I BOUGHT THR PURPLE ONE!!!! LOL, for many reasons, so that I could have a ride that was different than ever other color out there. There are Black, Blue, Red, Silver, Grey and now Orange all over the road in every car...I hate that, I want something "FUNKY", (I just had to say it again, LOL!), new and different....I hope that it does become rare, that would excite me...... :red:

I love having a womans opinion on our vehicle. All of the women I know could give a damn about cars. Thanks for joining Teknobunie! :bow: :thumb: :beer:

Teknobunie, don't you see alot of white being from Florida? The few times I was there it seemed to me that it was the most popular car color. The same dealership that I bought mine from that also had the purple one got a white one in. It was snatched up as soon as it hit the lot. There one day, gone the next.

Well first Thank you! Who else could I talk about my car to? Hubby's ears are plugged I talk about it so much! LOL...Never Ever have I seen a white one! Most of the ones around here are 2 Black ones if you can believe that with the heat! I have seen a red one and a silver one too but that is it....Mine was on the lot 45 mins and then I drove up!!!! LOL......

1) Where in Florida are you Teknobunie
2) I spend alot of time flying back and fourth to Fort Lauderdale (While down there in Sept I rented an LS for fun) but I have seen a blue and Red one down there
3) While in Fort Lauderdale I have seen mostly convertiables and PT's

Hey! I got that color and I'm most definitely no woman! All my friends like it and i haven't seen it aywhere else in Dallas so i guess it stands out.

Hey I Got That Color Car Also It Is Not Just A Womens Pick I'm 65 And I Think It Is Good Looking Color. It Goes Neat With My Wifes Red Hat Ladies Society Emblem On Back Of Car. Actually They Are All Nice Colors. And Guess What? Finally Got My Floor Mats What A Disappointment After Almost 2 Months. Cheap Gray Looking Mats And Color Doesnt Even Match Trunk Mat, Rear Trunk Mat Much Lighter Than Floor Mats, So My Bottom Line Is Dont Get All Excited About The Standard Mats.

So My Bottom Line Is Dont Get All Excited About The Standard Mats.

You should have spent the extra $105 for the premium mats. :thumb: They look great! :cool: They are thick with HHR embroidery and the color matches just fine. You can buy them from GM but it will cost more than if you took the option. You should have opted for the $115 premium cargo mat also, the embroidery and color matches the front mats. SoCal has some mats in his shop but no pics. Maybe they would be worth checking out. :confused:

I did not get the premium mats. I just got the plain mat the came with the car

Is this the purple ya'll are wanting for the HHR? :-)

BTW, it still runs.

HAHAHA! My aunt used to have the ugliest Gremlin I had ever seen. It was sun faded green with yellow stripes. I love it! You need rims and roof rails. What year is it? Does it have the 304 5.0? How about the interior? Is it a X?

It looks two tone and is that a builet grille

It is two tone, purple with black stripe and the grill is chromed plastic like ours.

I would of gone with better rims

I believe those are the factory ones.

Is that Hood Stock?

I believe it is.

The car is original (currently) except for the paint obviously. I'm in the process of restoring it with some modifications.

It has a 258-6 3-sp manual floor shift. Only options were A/C (can you believe it, it still works too), and power steering. The wheel covers (rims) are OEM. The hood is OEM. The grill is as stated, chrome plated plastic, and OEM also.

I've got plans for this baby.

I have only seen one, and a GUY was driving it. It was a 2LT with the bright wheels. I think the wheels make it look more manly. I actually don't think the color looks that bad though. If I had a choice between the purple or the orange HHR, I would pick the purple any day! That orange is horrible!!!

At least Chevy didn't add green to the HHRs line up of colors.

I like British Green. With a white stripe. That would look cool

Yeah, racing green is cool on Jaguars and Minis but I don't think it would look that great on a HHR. Racing green does look really good with white stripes also.

Are you going to do anything to your HHR as well?

Yeah, racing green is cool on Jaguars and Minis but I don't think it would look that great on a HHR. Racing green does look really good with white stripes also.

I think if its done right it can look good. But its not something I would want to do. If anything I would two tone my car like CJ

I like the two tone idea but I'm more of a fan a solid color on the top, solid color on the bottom, and a pinstipe in between. Not to take away from CJs of course because I love his paint design.

I want to do some cool paint theme sometime next year. But i'm not sure what I can do with the sandstone silver color that I have.

At least Chevy didn't add green to the HHRs line up of colors.

I saw a green one the other day, it looked like it had some kind of swirly ghost stripe down the middle. I tried to catch up to it for a closer look but traffic wouldnt let me, then just like that it was gone. :(

Must be a custom job. We have one rolling around in my area that somebody had shot gold. I have only seen it once and it looked hot as hell! If I had the money to do a custom paint job right now I might consider gold.

Gold and Silver not a bad mix
