View Full Version : White HHR SS: Not Available?
infam0uz 08-16-2007, 07:56 PM I discussed in the news section about the hhr color choices and i was surprised that they wont offer a white ss, i was thinking about getting a white ss, but if theres no plans for a white one then i may have to look into a black or silver one.
However I went to the dealer today and got one of the new booklet about this and i asked the salesguy about the pricing n such and he estimated/guessed it would be around 25,000 or more, I told him im thinking it would be around that price, and he says its due out this fall but not sure when, only if chevy could give us a pricetag of this.
The color choices available are
Blue Flash Metallic
Black
Victory Red
Imperial Blue Metallic
Sunburst Orange II Metallic
Silverstone Metallic
these are the color choices so far.. but sadly no white ss :( I wanted to hear some info about a "White SS" version but i guess thatll have to wait.
or maybe someone can clear this up and wonder why theyre not offering this color.
JonyyB 08-16-2007, 07:58 PM They never offered white on the Supercharged Cobalt so I am not surprised.
infam0uz 08-16-2007, 08:02 PM They never offered white on the Supercharged Cobalt so I am not surprised.
All they offered was a red cobalt ss, if im correct?
i just remembered, they offered yellow, blue, and black as well.
but im sure someone would want a white hhr ss though, including me.
JonyyB 08-16-2007, 08:07 PM ^ They made Supercharged Cobalt's in Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Silver, Orange
infam0uz 08-16-2007, 08:10 PM ^ They made Supercharged Cobalt's in Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Silver, Orange
No wonder why theyre going for the same colors as the cobalts too.
I guess i'll have to look into one of these colors one day they come out, im thinkin of the black one.. but im fearing the scratches on black. (owned a black pt before and it was terrible with these scratches)

Your color list is wrong according to the official Chevrolet HHR SS press release. It states:
"The available exterior colors enhance the sporty nature of the vehicle. They include Victory Red, Black, Light Tarnished Silver Metallic, Mystique Blue Flash Metallic and Sunburst Orange II Metallic."
No Imperial Blue Metallic, and I believe the light tarnished silver metallic is a new color.

I didnt pick the colors, the salesguy did, he looked it up on the GM Offical website for orders n such and he gave me the list of these colors, but as long these colors make anyone happy about it.
but when i saw this press release, i was hoping a white version would be offered but sadly there isnt one being offered.
GDZHHR 08-16-2007, 08:50 PM May not be white, but here's a pic of my new Imperial Blue SS!

You can have it painted whatever color you want..
(A painter can)
Nor-Cal HHR Club 08-16-2007, 09:21 PM I'm guessing that...
Mystic Blue Flash = Imperial Blue Metallic (or a lighter version of it... Navy Blue)
Light Tarnished Silver Metallic = a darker Silverstone or a lighter Dark Silver Metallic.

HHR PNOY 08-16-2007, 09:25 PM white, booger green or yellow would have all been good additions to the SS line.

Light Tarnished Silver Metallic = a darker Silverstone or a lighter Dark Silver Metallic.
Nope. The Mystic Blue Flash is closer to the Daytona blue. It's in the 08 brochure.
TomsHHR 08-16-2007, 10:08 PM booger green bad racing color....

Nor-Cal HHR Club 08-16-2007, 11:05 PM I liked that colour (Daytona Blue). Something to think about!

Those are two different blues. They are both listed in 2008 book, Mystic Blue costs more though.
Don't know about the silver though.

if you are the type of person who likes to be noticed while driving a car...booger green is the way to go! lol
misterjensen 08-17-2007, 12:45 AM Hmmm... I just noticed that the official press release lists five colors, but the HHR SS website on the Chevrolet web page says "six exterior colors" in the "exterior" link. Perhaps Imperial Blue Metallic will be offered after all...

sjssk 08-17-2007, 08:45 AM How dare they not offer white?!?!?
TkHHR 08-17-2007, 11:29 AM White was held back when the first HHR's were released also. They kept pushing the date back for availability. That is one reason I wound up waiting for the 07's, the ebony interior was the other reason. Of course by then I wound up with a white panel with ebony interior.
infam0uz 08-17-2007, 06:38 PM I remember the white hhr's didnt come out till at a later date, but however, maybe they will release a white ss later on in a few years or so.
who knows.
I would write a letter to chevy and state that some of the current or future hhr owners would like to see a SS Version in white, like I would want one.
However, If i went for any color n painted it white.. that would cost me a bazillion of dollars to get it done, so i rather have it factory painted. ;)
MOTRV8D 08-18-2007, 01:12 AM im still dreaming that GM will see the (yellow) light and make it in this color.
Talk about a head turner.
This would be so hot. Cobalt SS in yellow? Check. PT Cruiser Turbo in yellow? Check. Saturn Sky Redline in yellow? Check. HHR SS in yellow? Why the hell not.

and while they're at it, this would be en fuego.

just a thought.
HillsdaleHHR 08-18-2007, 06:55 AM That looks hott inside and out MOTRV8D :thumb: :thumb:
courthousedeb 08-18-2007, 10:34 AM I would venture to guess that they might be holding back on the yellow to make it some sort of special edition HHR SS...just a thought. :thumb:
quest51210 08-18-2007, 11:31 AM or because yellow cars do not sell well as it is.
I like the yellow!!
This "campaign" has gone on for quite some time now, too! Have you carried the cause directly to GM? Good luck!
I also like Deb's idea of a Special Edition SS in yellow. Let GM know that!

I know Im beginning to sound like a broken record aren't I? :rof:
If I knew how to contact GM I would. Be nice if I could send those pics directly to Bob Lutz himself... I've already been thinking that they might be holding back on a yellow option for some future special edition, prolly after I get mine in some other color of course! :cussing:
Not trying to give you a hard time. It's just that telling us ain't gonna make it happen. GM needs to hear from people. Try starting with the # in the Owner Manual. Also, try contacting your dealer and ask them to forward to the district level. Then, once you find a good contact, try to get everyone here to contact them, too!
quest51210 08-18-2007, 04:13 PM buy one and get it painted. otherwise i still stand in saying i do not understand the banana fetish you have. :)
misterjensen 08-18-2007, 04:15 PM Wow, this "White HHR SS: Not Available?" thread is sure getting long! No, it's not available...
MOTRV8D 08-18-2007, 08:22 PM buy one and get it painted. otherwise i still stand in saying i do not understand the banana fetish you have. :)
Im not in the minority on "the banana fetish."
More than 2:1 pple who voted in the poll either loved it or liked it. That's not a bad ratio. It's a tradional hot rod color. If you dont get it thats fine. I understand it might polarize some pple. Oh look, it'a an HHR school bus, or oh look it's an HHR taxi.
I absolutely love it.
I would buy that color in a heartbeat! I hope Chevy offers it!

Im hoping GM is trolling here and taking notice of things like these preference polls, that's why I posted it. I wanted to see if I was in the minority and what do u know, im not.

I sure see a lot of yellow Cobalt SS's running around town. I think it would sell well imho.
sweetmama 08-18-2007, 08:36 PM I am not a fan of either the red that is being shown or of yellow. But if I had to choose it would be the yellow :banana:
O6ChevyHHR 08-18-2007, 09:11 PM Wow that Yellow SS chop Is Hot, GM Offe this color!!
MOTRV8D 08-19-2007, 12:55 AM well it's too darn bad that we cant get it in either yellow or white.
quest51210 08-19-2007, 05:29 AM a mystic color would be better
infam0uz 08-20-2007, 11:14 AM they should offer a tan/white color like the chrysler cool vanilla color but with a different paint method, it would look good as well.
