The June 2008 issue of Collectible Automobile has an article about the HHR Panel. It's in the Future Collectibles page. they called it a "Trucklet"

 

"Trucklet" Has to be the lamest one yet.

 

so is this April Fools or serious?

Personally I wouldn't mind if they stopped making them in '09 then they would be I think

 

Actually a repost, someone mentioned the HHR in this mag in another thread.

 

So I checked first to see if a post was done but I guess I didn't go back enough pages. Anyway I found the other post and no one replied to that one, but they did mine. I'm sorry to upset the repost police. I really love my car, but some people...

 

No policing intended, just pointing out it was verified by another poster.
And I have a hunch that a restyle/refresh is coming that will be less retro to appeal to a larger customer base.

 

I doubt that a significant restyle is coming for '09, other than maybe updating the front facia to resemble the new Chevy smile that debuted on the new Malibu. The HHR won't go away until Delta II comes out in '11 or '12 and then it'll probably be named the Cobalt Sport Wagon or something like that.

 

Yeah, That was me several days ago! That thread dropped out of sight in no time!
