Who says slow news days don't yield surprises? Moments ago, we received the GM press materials announcing the all-new HHR Panel. At first, we assumed it was a SEMA thing, but lo and behold, this is an actual production car, and GM is to be commended. Unlike other panel concepts we've seen in the past, such as the Chrysler Panel Cruiser, the HHR Panel does not see the removal of its second set of doors.

Instead, the passenger doors are replaced by solid cargo doors that open via a dashboard release button. This provides easy access to the cargo area, which features a flat load floor and over 57 cubic feet of space...

I saw the picture at GMI. Looks pretty cool

Notice how they took off the antenna for the picture...

Guess they didn't want everyone to think it was delivering fish!:lol:

Now THAT is cool.

I see the grooves where the back doors usually are. That mean those back door panels are still going to open?
Look at the other pics on the Autoblog site. They show them open.

Saw that after I scrolled down. :lol: Small businesses are going to love this.

The buttons on the steering wheel are different than those on the 06 models, is that the way they come now on 07s, or has this one been custom fitted? Notice the "mute" button is located in a much better spot!

The rear cargo area should be dropped all the way to the floor...it still looks like the seats are folded down, space wise. Remove it all together, down to the spare area and really make use of that space

I'd have to have one for my small business...wrapped or with decals

Hell, I wanna start a small business just as an excuse to trade up!

Mike should have sold them a stubby antenna. :lol:

Why do the interiors in this picture (http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/10/x07ct_hr007.jpg) and this picture (http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/10/x07ct_hr004.jpg) still have the four power window switches? :lol:

Or are those the "dashboard release buttons" used to open the rear doors (since I don't see anything else on those dash pics that look like they would open the rear doors)?

Hey I use mine for my business. The HHR is perfect for me. I sometimes do worry about the windows getting hit by a speaker stand or something.

Go GM!!

By the way anyone see the new GM commercial? Darn Sunburst Orange always in the GM commercials.

I think the point was to give you a level floor height.

wow cool, now you can make a custom like Year one! Sweet think i found which one i want to get dose it come in every color of just red?

More importantly why is there no button to open the dash glove box? :confused:

wish I could afford a second one.

Hmmm.... I'm not really diggin it... I'll stick with my '06 Springer.

Very Kool. Now we can have a new "hippie van" conversion. :)

And you know where to get all the coolest parts for them! :D

Can't wait until ours gets here! :thumb:

:( i was hoping it would be a full panel design. it's a let down for me. seems like a half hearted attemped to make a panel. what gm would save in glass and trim would pay for the tooling. i'm still looking for operational liftgate glass!:thumbsdow

You know, we have been working on a panel idea for a while (our concept for SEMA '07), and one of the things that keeps coming up is access to the back. I think GM addressed this perfectly by keeping the functional side doors, as we will be ripping that "storage bin" deal right out to make room for hidden subs. Once the subs are in place, a lowered flooring will be installed allowing us a sort of dropped "shelf" behind the seats where smaller boxes can be stacked without worrry of them sliding all around the back. Without side doors you would have to climb into the back to fish through any items towards the front.

I like the "door" idea! :thumb:

What "glass and trim" are you referring to Jim?

All the glass and trim was removed from both sides! :confused:

I agree.

There is no way that removing those minor things would pay for that amount of re-tooling. It's surprising enough that they created some new body panels for the panel van version.

I just agree that's what Big Jim was saying. I agree with you that it what they would be saving probably wouldn't be enough for new tooling. Not to mention it is easy to build them on the same line the way Chevy is doing it currently. I'm sure a one piece side would cause production problems to their current line.

I always wanted a Chevy panel truck,now i wish i'd waited 6 months or so,
When will this be in showrooms? Any idea about price?

THIS is too freakin cool i wanted a panel version as soon as i saw the first one!!! now i can talk my wife into gettin one!!! !!! I want marina blue with ebony leather interior OPS gettin ahead of my self!!!! SWEETTTTTTTT

Did anyone notice there is no ugly release button on the dash "glove box" ? Its just smooth all the way across. Got to admit, I really hate it on mine. Make sense that they wouldnt need it anyway...just have an access like the gas door and eliminate the cost of the extra parts.

Makes me feel bad that I need a rear seat.:thumb:

Man.....I wish I held off just a little while more. :(

Man, those are awesome, I really like them...I've always loved the old panel trucks but actually I like the way they did the back doors in this, still gives you easy access to the rear from three sides. I'd love to have one.

I will be going to the South Florida Int'l Auto Show this weekend, and they have one of the panels on display. Would anybody like me to find out anything more specific about one?
I'm told the one on display is the 2-tone one.

Anyone else see the irony here??? :lol:

Back on topic, I guess I'll be the first to say I don't like it. Functional? Yes! But it would look better w/ out the rear doors. The two tone version seem to do a better job of hiding the door seems.

Here are some pics of the 2 tone panel at the auto show..........

Wonder if these rims will be available on this or any other HHR......

Also note the rear window switches are missing.......

http://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/files/1/9/6/proto2interior.JPG

I had inquired where the "buttons" for the rear doors were at. Was told that they were not installed on this one as it is a "prototype". It was real funny watching the first girl looking for them, and being told that I knew more about this vehicle than she did!

It's the black paint that hides the seam of the door. (see first pic of the previous post)

where those 17s or 18s on the panel?

Zooming in on tire info appears to be 225/45 R 18

hope they offeer those 18s as an option!

I'll second this - I really like the idea of a panel version, and I like the way the exterior looks (though I like the black and gray two-tone better than the red - does a better job of hiding the cut lines for the rear doors).

When I heard "panel van" I was really hoping for something with a taller cargo space. I want something that will carry my bike mounted upright (standing with the front wheel removed). It won't quite fit in my wife's HHR, so I was hoping for more room here.

Looks like Dodge is trying to stir up some trouble...

Dodge Nitro Panel Wagon for SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/17/dodge-nitro-panel-wagon-previewed-ahead-of-sema-show/)

I'll try to get some pics at sema.

dont forget to add "who cares about certain members that dont own an HHR but talk mad game like they do".

Dont hate on PT owners. At least they OWN cars. :nono: :eek: :eek:

okay sorry lol

Pretty cool for the Business Edition Interior.

The cargo doors don’t have external handles; they are opened via a dashboard release button.

What would the point be? You would still have the rear fender windows so it wouldn't look like the panel van.

I caint wait to see one in person!

why? why not just photoshop your ???

This thing is pointless. No reason to buy one unless your a business and need the side panels for a sign. I love the HHR, but GM should have done it properly - suicide doors in the back, not the regular doors minus windows. Its dumb. Great for GM though, i.e. this was the cheap way to do a panel. Now GM if your listening, give us an HHR pickup! El camino for the new milenio! (that was the only way I could make it rhyme!)

I think we all define the term 'properly' differently!

Does anybody know if they are going to make the panel version with rear seats? That would be killer, or even an SS panel?

The panel versions have rear seats.

An SS HHR is still a maybe, an SS Panel is highly unlikely.

The panel versions have rear seats.

Ummm.....No they don't

Ummm.....No they don't


Yeah your right, they don't. There was a picture I saw where it looked like it had fold-flat rear seats but it was just the storage compartments or whatever.

No, SS Panel....thats a shame....I could really justify purchasing that one with only two seats. A plain panel though..I need 4 seats..Who knows, maybe it'll happen

With Chevy, everything is a sudden susprise.

This is a portion of the picture that lead me to believe it had rear seats.

???Has anyone heard of an ACTUAL production date/official release for the panel??? Also- any idea on pricing?:confused:

There is a small write up about it in the Roddin At Random section of the February 2007 issue of Hot Rod. It said production begins in the late first quarter of 2007 but no info on pricing.

Pricing info for the Panel was released quite a while ago - we have a whole page about it up on our website HERE (http://www.socalhhr.citymax.com/HHRpanelpricing.html).

Hope it helps,

Mike bet you caint wait to sell your car and get the panel.

Thanks for the update guys! My F-I-L has plans for the panel (needs something big enough to haul V-Twin frames, engines, and parts around town in). End of Q1 ... better call my sales guy to give him a heads up!! :thumb:

Yes, I too have plans for the Panel !!!!

Well cool, I was at the Chev dealers today & they knew nothing about this, as yet..Think I'll print this & call them tomorrow after work..

The Panel is sweet looking. It is coming march/april that is from chevy rep. at the NAIAS in Detriot. the two front compartments in the load floor can be eqipped with locks that comes from the info brochure. But at the show it was all locked up so u could get inside of it. Yet the Premier Edition was wide open. The Panel has a special badge on the back of it instead of the HHR it has HHR with Panel written below it. Sorry the stud with the socalhhrs.com shirt is not included with the panel HHR.:lol:

I can think of a few reasons to buy the panel.... ;)

Reason no. 1. Lay down a mattress....;) That gives a whole new meaning to Shaggin' Wagon.

Reason No. 2. Can you think about how much money you'd make, Haulin' sh** around???

I'll let you think of the rest.

If GM amkes it in that paint scheme..sign me up! The kids can ride with their mother!

yea a Air Bed in the back lol!

I htink Id go with a "gravegdigger" theme though..like the monster truck! All that area is SCREAMING for graphics! Of course...a KICK ASS rear entertainment unit too. Definitely a flip down flat screen..many MANY subs...an Xbox...just make this into the ultimate tailgater.

thats what Im talking about, a plsma and 2 15s yea!

my dealer is still in the dark about the panels.??? :wtf: :scared:

try another dealer, mine didn't know about the Fall Edition till it showed up on their lot!?

GDZHHR- Yes, my thoughts as well.. I still would like to see/sit in, & drive one... B4 I jump..

I'm in no hurry, as we're seeing running changes as time passes.
Maybe I'll wait, & grab one that someone bought & didn't bond with..
So I can get a more loaded Panel for less $$$..(we'll see)..

Still test driving as my time permits. 11 different HHR's to date..:steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering: :steering:

Yes, that link above references Canadian dollars. I can only imagine folks in the US reading $19,480 and going "Holy @#$%@!!!"

In any case, the price represents a $260 increase from the base price of an LS model. :thumb:

Thanks for clearing that up !!!! Scared me for a minute there :scared:

I went on the Karl Chevrolet Web Site and was able to build and price the panel with all options,packages shown with cost.
The base LT panel is $18005 plus $590 Destination. I priced out 3 different configurations of options I wanted and totals varied from low of $22329 to high of $ 24009. this doen't take into consideration of the incintives that are available, but gives me a starting point to negotiate from.

I bet there are loads of small companies looking at the panel and wondering, "When is this thing going to be shipped?".

Couriers (not FedEx - smaller ones), surveyors, anyone with light cargo. It'll be perfect!:thumb:

It'll also give GM something "eco-friendly" to point at...:roll:

Good review…

I really liked the last comment comparing the Panel to the E-Series and Sprinter. The capabilities of those vehicles far exceed the needs of many consumers, and while there are other options (cargo versions of the Caravan) none have the style of the panel!

You might snicker when I mention style, but I bet there are lots of companies who will appreciate having a utilitarian vehicle that doesn’t look like the box they are delivering!

while there are other options (cargo versions of the Caravan) none have the style of the panel!



But the Caravan will carry a lot more cargo also. The HHR Panel will (should) be a hit to small delivery companies that never carry a big load (or at least for a vehicle or two).

Good case in point, the wife went to a baby shower in NC this past weekend. The stuff we gave to the two "to-be" mothers would have never fit in the back of the HHR Panel, much less still carry a child in a car seat in the back seat of a regular model. She was loaded (but chould still see out the back window) and the MPV is not even an extended length.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply a comparison between the Caravan (cargo version) and the Panel. I just wanted to point out that there aren't that many choices for the commercial buyer when it comes to cargo vehicles.
