No discussion here. I just wanted to post up my scan of the brochure. I cleaned it up a bit with photoshop.

Hi-Res available upon request. Just private message me with your email address. Just to let you know, the hi-res image shows more grain because of the print.

I just HAD to go back and fix my old crappy scan with your nice one.
Here it is in Velocity Yellow...
Maybe as a retro color it would be called HHOT ROD YELLOW!

I enlarged the scan a little in photoshop, well a lot actually and lightened the details. From this view it sure looks like it has a normal armrest, no?

This is why there is no leather option, they look like Recaro-style seats.

No armrests in the the center.:confused: But you can see the window controls on the ledge of the driver's door.

I'm not surprised that it does not have a center arm rest. My best friend has a 2007 Cobalt SS; it doesn't have a center arm rest either. It must have something to do with the seats being wider or the shifter being in a different position. With 260 HP, I'm sure I'll want to keep both hands on the wheel anyway...

so.... what's the deal? GM is saying that they have no plans to produce an SS? I call BS on that! In other words, someone faked the whole brochure in photoshop?

Relax.....................

All they said was "No plans have been announced to produce an HHR SS. " We all know how this goes, as long as it's not announced, it doesn't exist until its announced.

They are supposed to have more lateral support verses the standard seats.

If you go look at your seats they are identical right down to the side bolstering just without arm rests. But then again I'm just going by the picture seeing as how I haven't sat in the SS seats. If I weren't at work and could access my photobucket account I would post a side by side comparison.

You know, if we didn't have several different threads regarding the same thing, we could consolidate information and prevent redundancies.:smile:


Anyway.....the seats look remarkably familar. Probably from another GM vehicle and upholstered differently.

Edit....actually they look like earlier Lumina seats, with a different head rest.

Well, it doesn't seem like 06 posted the correct info, as it is 8/28/07 & there is no new info on chevrolet.com regarding the 2008 HHR. :mad:

The quote was "The Chevrolet website should be updated with 2008 HHR information on August 28, 2007". "Should" is not "will". He shared what he was supposedly told. Things change.

Not to mention the Customer Service centers that handle emails are usually that last to know anything!

Oh so true. More often than not when you contact a customer service agent, irrespective of method, you reach some sort of a call centre working under contract and often not even in your country.
