These are the actual pictures from a dealership brochure that came in today. Just thought I would share, trying to calm the rumors down a little, and make your mouth water too :D .

^ thanks sorry, I posted it and was like "oops" when I realized it was sideways.

Bonnie is NOT going to like this news!

That front end would make a sweet looking truck! Think a truck like this is in the works? Me thinks so!

Fall of 07?? Maybe O6 jumped the gun.:D Or maybe Chevy was waiting for him to get a car before releasing.:lol:

WOW!! This is what I WAS waiting for, but didn't think GM would go through with it so I bought an 2LT. :censored: :censored:

SWWWEEEET, I`m going to a dealer tommorow for an oil change, and maybe a bumper, grill, oh yeah, a motor...
Hey does that thing have a TURBO???

Hey does that thing have a TURBO???

turbocharged !!!!:thumb:

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Man! I still love my Lancer tho:bow: :thumb: My intakes coming Monday I can't wait:nuts: If I see one of these SS's I will be sure to post pics, So the dealerships have these I may go to see If I can pic one up and take a closer look at it :thumb:

excuse me.....must go change pants.......

+1,000 ^^^^^^^^ !!!

"Introducing the New HHR SS TurboCharged", I think that's a clue! If it's not, that's a mean photochop trick!

i love the HHR SS but im saving for a new camaro SS.

Hmmmm, I have lots of GM bucks saved, but do they have orange??


naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I am gonna wait for the AWD..

So what else can you tell us about this beauty?????????

can you say LUV DA GRILL!!!!!!!

Did somebody turbo charged??? Ive been think this would be a sweeeeet ride with a turbo........ I might have to trade if they come out with a turbo... I bet if I get whit one I could just slip in one night in the new ride an the wife wouldn't even notice... LOL naaaaaaaa the smile from ear to ear and giggel would let her know something was up.....

Looks like i will be shopping for a new HNEWAGN soon!!! :bow:

The one thing I don't like is the grill. It looks too much like all the other new Chevy grills. Small price to pay though for 260HP!!!

Time To Trade!!!!

My new Screen Saver:D

NO one is talking about the ground effects instead of running boards!!!!

NO one is talking about the ground effects instead of running boards!!!!
Kinda hard to get a good look at them.

My new Screen Saver:D


Too bad its not really black though. :confused: Should say Red Beauty. That would be more appropiate.

I do love the front bumper set up, but I'm not too hot on the grille. Maybe if the bar in in the middle instaed of up so high. Looks awesome though, I can't wait to see one.

Totally agree completely with you, dude...

LOVE the new front bumper and ground effects... :thumb:

HATE the new upper grill... just looks off center with the middle bar up so high...

Would still love to get one for my next HHR... ;)

WOW! OMG! That thing is SICK! I can't believe it went from a 'maybe' to an actual brochure, the front end is wicked and the ground effects on the side look amazing. My dad is the part manager for a dealer, I will have to see if they have any of these brochures when I am there next week having my leveling springs installed!!!;)

I'd put the standard bumper cover, grille and running boards on it for the sleeper look. ;)

Looks really sharp. I'd hate to see what the insurance costs for that.

My 1LT costs me enough and I get a gazillion discounts.

Why would the insurance go up much? Same car... explain pls :eek:

I love this SS version!! The homage to the '49 seems GONE in a flash, and this one looks SO NEW. It's really going to knock people's socks off, isn't it? I wonder if my dealer has even seen the brochure yet!

I think that really nice. Good update on the front end. Was really wondering if it was going to come out. Should be a nice player in it's own market.

Why would the insurance go up much? Same car... explain pls :eek:
The HHR SS has a turbocharged engine, that would be enough for insurance companies to charge extra.

Forget about valve covers! Now its time to look into engine swaps!

I'll emailed my salesman and asked if he could snag one of these brochures if they are available. He knows I'm an HHR Nut, so if they have one, I'll pick it up as soon as he tells me there is one available. :thumb:

DWAAAAAMM!!!! :bow: :twothumbs

That sure is SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love the HHR SS but im saving for a new camaro SS.

IMO a wiser choice. ;) :lol: But the rumor is the Camaro SS is going to be starting around $40,000. :eek: The HHR SS is okay but it doesn't have me rushing out to trade. ;) If I want true performance the HHR doesn't seem like good starting ground even with a turbo. I might slap some parts from the HHR SS like the shocks and springs on my 2LT when they become available but that's about the extent of my desire for it. :lol:

Let's see.....If I can trade my car and get...........no that won't work. OK, I'll get a second mortgage.........no wait, I've done that. I'll cash in my 401(k).....no, too close to retiring now..........I could pimp myself out, but would starve to death.........I've got to figure this out.

No kidding! That's slick...

Couldn't they have done something about that antenna? :D

At least they left it on for that shot :D

I'd still just rather have a bolt on turbo (and not a rear mount).

I am going to see if my friends dad that works in parts can ge me one of these HHR SS book's, so I can look into it more.

I wonder what the back bumper looks like?? :eek:

Hopefully they would change it, too..

How much is the HHR SS going to cost? Anybody know yet?

That thing looks great!

I can't wait to read in Car and Driver or Motor Trend the highly intelligent commentary that this is just another case of the HHR being a copy of the PT. :roll: I mean, everyone loves the PT Panel....wait a tic...

Sarcasm aside, this looks pretty mean. I doubt there is much of a market for it, but that makes me respect Chevy more for having the balls to put it out there. The safe play would have been a cosmetic package with maybe the supercharged Cobalt SS motor. It takes some guts to put the turbo motor in there with the 5-speed.

Does the brochure mention an automatic?

Congrats to whoever is first to get one!:thumb:

Deffinitely looks sweet but makes me wonder if itll have a short life span like the Cobalt SS/SC. I would love to have one tho but ill wait till its been out another year or so. First years always have problems.

Hmmm... I can just picture myself cruising down Duval Street in that baby. Tropicar may wind up being shifted to Mrs. Docwylie!:lol:

The safe play would have been a cosmetic package with maybe the supercharged Cobalt SS motor.
The contract with Eaton ran out for the supercharger, so no more Cobalt SS/SC or even possible for a HHR SS/SC.

That would have been cool though....there's a guy around here with a Cobalt SS/SC and when he winds it out, man what a sweet sound....not as good as a V8 rumble but right up there :D

Am I seeing things wrong or is the bowtie in the grill slanted backwards? I am in total agreement about the bar in the grill being a little too high. I think if they moved it down and maybe made it a lil thicker it would look alot more natural.

Am I seeing things wrong or is the bowtie in the grill slanted backwards?

It appears to be a "mirror" image, if you look at the wipers they would also be swiping the windshield backwards as well.

Too bad its not really black though. :confused: Should say Red Beauty. That would be more appropiate.
If some NICE person would photoshop a Black one, I`d certainly use it, but for now, and before I change my username to Red Beauty, this will have to do...:D
I believe it is a mirror image, because the words are written backwards too.
I don`t know how the ins. co. will price the Turbo version, my van is pretty reasonable, but I don`t know how it compares w/non turbo version... I`ll call my agent, check back in a few.S/S:D

Ok, I`m back, called my agent... they said they needed a vin# to do any kind of calculation, even for a comparo of vans...DANG.
Anyway, someone on this site has got to work for an ins. co.... get crackin`

I called my Friend at Bob Taylor Chevy here in Naples and he said he could pre order me one!

Hey people, we made the news!

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/13/more-brochure-leak-o-rama-2008-chevy-hhr-ss/

Apparently, the brochure was a leak of information :lol:

OHHH, here we go ~~~~

the ones who modified their original grill to a 3-bar version are going to be claiming they designed the SS grill!!!

Wonder if they watched, via sites like this one, the trends on modifying the orginal HHR and tweaking of styles??

My opinion: Sharp looking front-end, interesting to have more power, sportier interior, but................. I still like the chrome grill that closer resembles an OLD Chevy! It does appear that the hood is the same, wonder if Grills would be inter-changeable??

Price will be interesting factor!!!

Later,
Mark

Wonder if they watched, via sites like this one, the trends on modifying the orginal HHR and tweaking of styles??
I would think that they would...no better place to get ideas from than from the folks that actually own and modify the product.

Then I guess Darkside gets the original credit. ;) :lol:

color matched mirror caps ^^^^^^^^^

I was thinking the MODIFY'ing KING....................:bow:

Should not be going there.

But, yes it does closely resemble Darkside's version!!!


ps: Captain we have been here WAY TOO LONG, or so it seems sometimes!!!!

color matched mirror caps ^^^^^^^^^

And door handles...

yep Darkside was frist lol ....

ummm, am I in trouble :red: I wouldnt consider it a leak I just got my hands on the brochure and thought I would put it out there :smile:

Nah.. You're not in trouble. It would have come out eventually, you just got to it first :thumb:

ummm, am I in trouble :red: I wouldnt consider it a leak I just got my hands on the brochure and thought I would put it out there :smile:
I wouldn't think so; depends on whether or not there were instructions indicating when the brochures could be made public.

You might want to modify post #21 in case someone puts it all together and tracks you down and flogs you with a wet noodle or something.

^ Thanks, and done. I was already worried because I have seen the pictures i scanned on 5 different wesites now. I have already taken all my personal info out of my profile just in case :) It is just amazing to see all the attention, I just posted these last night and within 10 min had 5 replys now today THOUSANDS of views.

IMO a wiser choice. ;) :lol: But the rumor is the Camaro SS is going to be starting around $40,000. :eek: The HHR SS is okay but it doesn't have me rushing out to trade. ;) If I want true performance the HHR doesn't seem like good starting ground even with a turbo.

see i heard the Z28 is goin to be the expensive one, from the rumors i have heard the Camaro SS is going to be the base model V8, supposedly they are keeping the prices around the same as the mustang so i would say it will be around the same price as a mustang GT. but really noone knows but i am getting one ever since i saw the first rendering i was in love ,and after seein transformers i have to have one.

i would like to Know what they will cost and what all of the extras are

I guy I talked to today said he could order me one, but I tould him how much it was, he never got back to me... as of now... still waiting for his email back.

I called my Friend at Bob Taylor Chevy here in Naples and he said he could pre order me one!

:wtf: OH OH Here we go again. Will Daddy go along on this one? NOT :poke:

Shut up! I tired of taking crap!:cussing:

With KY in your name you might not want to talk about pimping yourself out :p: Anyways, glad to see it come to fruition. Still not happy on the grill or front bumper.

I guess he could slide right into one.:D

I'm glad to see that the SS will be offered for 2008. I'm just:cussing: because I just purchase my Premier Edition about a month ago.

Don't get too excited - I don't think they are going to go into production for many months on these...

Now Now...let's be nice to one another. ;)

no worries, just telling people I don't take crap anymore.... I respect all of you so respect me HHR owner or not. :thumb:

I've bugged Bonnie enough to say, "We'll see."

You know what that means.........I'm gettin' a new daily driver and Bob gets to keep looking perty and getting pertier without the daily grind!

I wonder if the interiors will me more color matched? I love the red and black two-tone but I'd like to get an Imperial Blue and I just donj't think that interior would look right.

Ain't it great to already be able to b!tch and moan?!

no worries, just telling people I don't take crap anymore.... I respect all of you so respect me HHR owner or not. :thumb:

Nice new attitude O6! :lol: :bow: Can I still bust your balls in a joking manner if I'm not mean? :confused: :D

The red interior is an SS only option, I can scan in the color and interior options too if you want. Personally the Flash Blue really isnt all that on paper, maybe on the car it will be different.

Made news here too....

http://www.leftlanenews.com/leak-2008-chevrolet-hhr-ss-revealed.html

I had been considering an HHR and was going to wait for the SS. I had seen the spy photos and videos and the articles here and there.. I even called Chevy and was connected to someone in Marketing abour two weeks ago and the said they didn't know anything about the SS version of the HHR. I even went to a dealer and he looked at his "secret" web site and didn't show anything. So I'd been talking about the HHR and looking at it and hoping for the SS but didn't want to wait, and when both Chevy and the dealer said no SS, I decided to either wait or look at a 2LT.. So I took my wife and daughter to "look" at the HHR and Chevy did have the 4th of July offer until the 9th, so I ended up getting a pretty nice Blue 2LT with leather, sunroof and XM. I'm happy and I think I like the original grille style about that of the SS as I think it evokes the '48 Suburban more closely, but I am left to wonder what might have been.. Although when the lease is up on our Explorer, perhaps the HHR SS will be out and I can decide at that time.. Hey everythin happens for a reason, right? Well I'm off to make my wish list of addons and accessories. My daughter is calling the HHR "heather" but I think I'll spell it HHeatheR..

I am just in love with the photo of the SS, and I noticed this thread wasn't in the top 10 at this time, so I thought I would post it up to the homepage again!!!:nuts:

I have never seen a thread get 7,700+ hits in such a short amount of time. WOW! This is the hottest thread ever!:thumb:

your agent is correct.... gotta have vin...... It will take the insurance industry a while to figure out it's a sporty...... in fact they may never figure it out.. I got a client that drives a 1st year crossfire and his insurance is very reasonable... I keep waiting for his renewal to go through the roff but it never has.......

Agrees. I had a Crossfire as well and the insurance wasn't too bad. However the maintenance and fuel costs are what made us depart :eek:

That pre-release sent shockwaves thru the auto community...
Now Mrs. 'S/S' is pretending she`s driving a stick:lol: ...it`s looking good.
Last time she even attempted, we were driving cross country from LA. to CHI..
She was supposed to drive during the day, I`d rest, and drive at night.
Kept trying to tell her to go around trucks and slow-pokes before she`d have to downshift... well never really got any rest.
Kept her anyways, 31yrs now:lol:

Where did you get that info?
I don`t want a stick, but if that`s the only way, I will...

Not for sure BB but it would be nice. The sky has an auto option so maybe!!! Anyone notice in the print it mentions 4 wheel disc brakes.

I saw the brake part, don`t make me salivate and then change the story, dang-it...:lol:

BB, is this any better?!?

So was this brochure not to be released to the public yet?!?:confused:

I called my dad up last night & if they have one at his dealer I am gonna pick 1 up on Wednesday 7/18, when I get my Gold-Line leveling springs installed!!!

So was this brochure not to be released to the public yet?!?:confused:

I called my dad up last night & if they have one at his dealer I am gonna pick 1 up on Wednesday 7/18,

I don’t think my dealer has them yet. Can you grab one for me as well and mail it to me? I’d really appreciate one.

Wrote an email to my dealer and here is their response. They know if it's HHR or NASCAR related, they need to call me. :smile:

"We currently don't have any brochures on the 2008 HHR. You will be the first person we call when we get them in." :thumb:

My Dealer said the same to me.....

I`m on the mailing list for mine...
Decisions, decisions... V. Red, or Black, hmmmmm.

That is one sweet looking HHR.

Now the problem would be that if I bought and drove something like that would my AARP insurance want to drop me for too many speeding tickets.:lol:

That wouldn't look good being retired LE and all but it would be fun !!:nuts:

now for an ss panel version...... then i can trade in MY daily driver, the wife can drive Julius and ill be able to build my little hot rod hearse... ;) heh heh heh then i guess hhr will mean Hearse Hot Rod :thumb:

AARP insurance is the same as any other, underwritten by a big corp., so tickets are the same...
And who says you have to speed (and get caught), I have a Turbo Caravan, and "I know when to say when...":D

Lol!

Oh my...I have been waiting all day to see if this site would come back up, and this thread had me worried. The site was down all day, and I thought maybe this thread had gotten it shut down!

"I am seeing ChevyHHR.net mentioned all over the internet"

See all of us newbs/young folks aren't that bad. A simple thanks would have been fine too :)

nice job on getting this site recognized primiere07!

Looks like this new SS will be a hit, too bad some of the retro flavor is giving way to street racer though.

geez, that's a pretty low-rez image. Very pixelated. Enlarged to fit a screen I can't image how bad it must look, but glad you like it.

Are there more pages in the brochure? More PIX??

It looks a little blocky but not bad I just say its abstract art:lol:

I second that lets see more if there is more to see that is. Please:bow:

+1,000 on more pics!

Thats it on the SS pictures, the rest are just some regular HHR pics, and the colors and options.

So lets talk about this new baby.
It`s Turbo Charged and Intercooled, I`ll bet the engine compartment will be a show piece.
If the intercooler is in the lower grill, and according to the pix, there`s a mesh grill in place, I think a silverish intercooler with some sorta light set-up would be Fantabulous...

well it's been a long time coming.
That engine compartment looks interesting but there's not much detail there.
I for one wish the grille bar was a little lower, but maybe they need it there for maximum cooling with that t/c setup.

I think Chevy/GM should of left Victory Red in the past with the Spring Edition.

I have a '06 Spring Edition and I like the fact that I am one of two Victory red/SE HHR's within Bakersfield and one of 2300 period.

Special Editions should have special colors that aren't available in any other model or year afterward.

Just my $.02.

P.S. If the HHR SS is offered in an auto, I will be in line to buy one once they hit the dealers. Personally I like manuals for cars like this, but I have a bad left knee (4 surgeries) and the wife can't drive stick to save her life. Now its autos for life....

Glad to see information in print on this. Makes it more of a reality.

I doubt you will see a SS Panel. You might be able to special order on. But I don't see it happening. They will not put rear seats in the panel folks, too many safety issues there.

5speed, this should have the 6 speed. Glad to see no auto offered.:thumb:

Without a doubt, GM would certainly increase their sales of the HHR SS if they offered an automatic...

i would rather have a auto just because i dont like how low the shifter is, if the center console was redesinged i would consider a 5 speed, which should be a 6 speed.

Glad to see information in print on this. Makes it more of a reality.

seems that if you want the panel, you don't need back seats anyways....:confused:

I got my copy of the 2008 HHR brochure today, from my dealer. This is page 9 of the brochure...When I first saw this, I thought they might actually be producing 2 tone HHRs now. However, at the bottom of the page it says "HHR Panel 2LT in Silverstone Metallic/Black (not an available color combination)." Then why put it in the brochure?!?!?:confused: Oh well, maybe they are getting closer to producing the 2 tone from the factory.:thumb:

They had to do something with the panel that GM was touring the auto shows with.:roll:

O.K., well that is INTERESTING! "No plans have been announced to produce an HHR SS"?!?!?

Then why does the brochure state the following?!?!?:
:confused:
Page 3 - "And an SS Turbocharged model arriving late fall 2007"
Page 15 (one of the most famous brochure pages ever!) - "Available late fall 2007"

So it hasn't been 'announced', but I would say it is a done deal! Especially after they have seen how much attention it got on this website!!!:nuts:

I'd put the standard bumper cover, grille and running boards on it for the sleeper look. ;)

No can do, the bumper redesign is to provide clearance for the intercooler....

My company had a few prototypes for the engine cooling system :D

Love the front end - never been a fan of the two little bumps on the front bumper...

please put a NSFW tag because i just sprang wood lol

I'm glad I waited, will be talking to the dealership this weekend ;)

I'm glad I waited, will be talking to the dealership this weekend ;)

You'll only be given one of the 2008 brochures. Doesn't seem that any dealers have been informed of anything yet. I just asked while having my HHR serviced yesterday.

damn, i guess i'll have to keep bugging them then...

So as it was asked.. what can be done to this motor to get more 'pop'...???

Say to 300+ hp?

In three weeks, at the GM Powertrain show, I'll see what comes about as far as brochures go. The local GM dealers get displays going of new model year vehicles every year, and the Chevy rep happens to be my dealer (Paddock), the most HHR-knowledgeable dealer in the Buffalo area. We also occasionally get concepts (we had the HHR there three years ago prior to the first delivery at Paddock), so **crosses fingers** if, by any chance, there is an SS there, I'll get pictures. :thumb:

DC,
If there is an SS there, I'm taking it back to Rochester to show it off. I will leave my '07 golden teal metallic with you and the other half to enjoy.
I WISH!!!!!!!!!!
Hope there is one there.........

be sure to take lots of pics if there is !

Howdy yawl.

Looks like the HHR SS with this 2.0L Turbo Ecotec engine has caught my attention.

I'll be looking for updates on the SS, so keep 'em coming.

Welcome!

so the new 08 HHRs get 480 miles of driving range? but they still get the same mpg. i do recall that the 06 and 07s get 450 according to chevy.

I have been getting around 415 or so with my 06 LS 2.2 runs great after 32000 miles. I think I'm gonna get me that muffler and intake wanna pep it up a bit. At least until I get the SS

Welcome to the site. Good luck with the new wheels.

when you get you SS be sure to post pics!

I didn't catch it if if it was already mentioned...

...do we know how many SS versions will be made of the HHR?

Whatever it is it wont be enough

The "450" number was just for promotion. The mileage is the same. I have seen mine state over 500 numerous times (strickly highway of course). The "480" number comes from 30mpg w/16 gallons. They know now the HHR can get the advertised mileage. They could only speculate that two years ago.

Once you do those things, you can pretty much forget about watching MPG.
Both are designed for non-conserving driving.. If you`re slowly accelerating, you won`t hear the muffler sound, and you certainly won`t need better air flow...:lol:

Who said anything about conservative driving:steering: :wink:
Hoppin on it a little from time to time never hurt anyone besides how else can i blow the carbon out lol

any new updates on the SS? anyone seen/heard anything?

Anywhere in that Brochure mention gas mileage?!? Seen this: Hi guys, WE LOVE OUR NEW HHR!!! We can not get enough! We traded in our 06 Monte Carlo SS, that got 15mpg for something more practical for our family and now wonder how bad the HHR SS will be on gas?!?

Anywhere in that Brochure mention gas mileage?!? Seen this: and now wonder how bad the HHR SS will be on gas?!?

i bet the mileage will be decent until u mash the gas pedal turbos are so thirsty.

Hi
I have a 06 HHR and we love it. Had a couple of problems but hopefully that will be all

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o132/pats50fan/smilies/welcome4.gif to the site!!! So do you plan on trading it in for as HHR SS?

I got to see a Trailblazer SS yesterday, really nice ride.

I can't wait to see one in person.

Thanks:bow: :bow: and Welcome to the site. Great post too:one:

A quote from the article:
"The new design also gets rid of the ugly rectangular “bumperettes” that are part of the retro styling of the standard model."

Hey, I like them "Bumperettes":lol: But I guess they have to go. Can't have cute/retro and fast, now can we? I dunno, I'm not sold on the front end. Two styles at cross purposes. Hope it looks nice in person.

Nice video. Seems to show the chassis remaining pretty stable during all that spirited tire shredding:thumb: Quite pixilated though, I felt we were looking through a screendoor under water.:roll:

Chevy has formally introduced the 2008 HHR SS Turbocharged. Check out the photos at http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19211.

I love the new fascias and engine but the relocation of the power window switches to the drivers door is the most exciting part!

http://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/files/2/1/1/0/x08cthr033mp5.jpg

Just adding another source for the photos of the SS

http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-chevy-hhr-ss-1

They couldn't have put the window switches there in the first place?

Incredible.

Hello All, Im new here. I wanted to mention a bit about myself, My Name is Jonathan > But at the moment I drive a Fully Loaded GT Convertible PT Cruiser (its fun) but now that HHR SS is growing on me, and hopefully ill be able to own one of these one day. However, i liked the hhr when they first came out, but what kept me away was the engine, but now that i heard bout the ss version so im reconsidering.

however, im a bit disappointed with the "color choices"

They arent gonna even offer one in WHITE?!?! (that my car is a white beauty) as well, but no white hhr ss?

could anyone confirm, the reason why i didnt see the white was listed thru this quote i saw on a few pages back.

I just received some new info on the 2008 HHR's. Thought I would start a new thread .......... to include all HRR'S, not just the SS.

SS:
HHR SS model designation 1AU46

SS exterior colors: Imperial Blue 37U
Blue Flash 39U
Black 41U
Sunburst Orange 56U
Silverstone 67U
Victory Red 74U

SS interior colors: Gray Sport Cloth 13C
Ebony Sport Cloth 19C
Red Sport Cloth 47C

Both Automatic and 5-speed Manual transmissions are listed.

Engine 2.0L DOHC 4CYL ENGINE LNF

Pricing:
Blue Flash met paint, extra cost $295.00
Bright Chrome Appearance Package $925.00, but that now includes the PY1 16" Chrome Aluminum wheels

location of the boost gauge will make the blind spot in that area wider. The pillars are too wide as it is now. They should have added oil, temp and boost gauges in the middle of the dash instead.

The HHR SS interior is looking SWEET :thumb: :thumb:

I wonder if they are all going to come with that orange/red accent interior. It really rubs me the wrong way, I'd like to see a blue color personally but than again some people might like it.

No, they won't all have the red accent color. There is a thread somewhere that states the interior color options.

And they added a passenger side lock to the handle.

Was excited about SS until I read that.

First post might as well be a dumb one.... whats the chances of getting the Turbo/SS Package in a Pannel version?
