http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en...tec/08_L61.doc '07 2.2 got the same block and a number of changes to bring it inline with the 2.4. Nothing significant for the '08 year |
I get a lot of rentals. The steering wheel buttons are different on all 3 years, The 08's now have tire pressure available through the DIC wheels have been added. The Satin chrome appears to be clear coated on the 08's. The 08's have a traction control button on the dash, have not seen one on the 06-07. The dash switch changed in late 06, My 06 will not turn on the interior lights.
The engine HP and torque rating was raised from 06 to 07 and it appears to be changed back to the 06 information. And the best addition to the 08 year.... The HHR SS 2.0 Turbo |
Here's the new traction control button that was added to turn off one or both of the systems (I'm not sure how it works.)
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../ETSButton.jpg I was looking through the brouchure and noticed this stuff today. It says the 08 HHR has all speed traction control (I think that's the same systems as previous years and it also has enhanced traction control (I think that is new.) |
06 used the bright elements of the turn signals for the DRL. The 07 (and 08 I think) use the headlights in a low setting.
|
Havent the grilles changed also?
|
Grilles are the same other than its been offered in Chrome, Satin Chrome, and Black Chrome. Now the SS has a different grille.

I think the 06s had a plastic fender guard where as the 07 has a clear thin piece there to protect from road chips.

What changes have been made to the HHR since it was introduced? I asked the salesman when I bought my HHR, and he was clueless.

I was just reading an article on Edmunds Inside Line. They were releasing the HHR SS' pricing. Then I noticed something...
The Window switches are no longer on the center console. They are on the door armrest where they have always belongs. Why on Earth didn't Chevy do this in the first place? The window switches were put in the absolutely worst place possible on the 07 and 06 models. It is the ONLY thing I absolutely hate about my wife's HHR. You can see pictures of what I'm talking about in the Edmunds article here: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=124008 Better yet, here's the picture: http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1...ss.int.500.jpg |
