2007 Chevy HHR Panel can be utilitarian or groovy, man

From the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
The 2007 Chevy HHR Panel can be viewed in one of two ways. It’s either a great little high-mileage panel delivery vehicle for a small business or it’s Car Of The Year, 1977.
As the former, it’s a handy little front-wheel drive, car-based delivery vehicle that boasts a whopping 63 cubic feet of cargo room behind its only two seats while delivering an EPA estimated fuel-economy rating of 30 mpg on the highway. Throw in a base price as low as $16,750, and it’ll help that small florist stay in the black.
As the latter, it’s a ’70s-style panel van whose interior cries out for shag carpet — ahh, you Baby Boomers know what I’m talking about — and whose flanks provide the perfect palette for airbrushed artwork of unicorns and rainbows.
Groovy, man.
The new-for-2007 HHR Panel is, in fact, a standard Chevy HHR that jettisons its back seat in favor of a large cargo area. That cargo hold provides a flat floor from the front seats all the way to the tailgate, with the added bonus of easy-clean rubber mats and three under-floor cargo compartments.
Intriguingly, the Panel’s flanks retain rear swing-out doors, but those doors do not provide outside door handles. Instead, they open via a set of buttons on the instrument panel. You simply press the appropriate button and — bing! — the side door pops open about 2 inches. You then wrap your fingers around the trailing edge of the door and pull it open to its full width.
For the record, there’s also an interior handle on each rear side door, but, of course, there’s no seat back there for anyone to be in a position to use it.
It’s all slightly bizarre, but it does create that smooth, handle-less profile that gives the HHR Panel its retro personality.
Driving this one, however, involves a learning curve. It’s kind of like driving a shoebox. With zero over-the-shoulder visibility, changing lanes is an adventure, while parallel parking with any dignity is darn near impossible. Believe me, you’ll develop a meaningful relationship with your outside rearview mirrors.
Inside, the instrument panel is that of the regular HHR, as are Panel’s mechanicals, including a base 2.2-liter, 149-hp I-4 and an optional 2.4-liter, 175-hp I-4, which we had. Buttoned to our optional four-speed automatic, pep was pretty good.
Whether purchased for utility or unicorns, HHR Panel provides a unique experience.
