Okay. I'm back from the dealership and here's what I found out. Using the GM Dealerworld website at the dealership (the same site Pittsburgh HHR used), my dealer was only able to find the HHR SS model designation "1AU46" in the new vehicle locator. No other information was listed (at least at my dealer here in Wisconsin). The salesperson said it's possible that the east coast has information before the midwest. So, in a nutshell, I didn't see any information to support or deny an automatic transmission in the HHR SS.

Well, maybe you will hear some good news soon. I imagine a auto will probably come at some point, but you never know. I owned a car once that was a manual only car. They never offered it in an auto. But you could get the same motor in another car, with an auto. Go figure.That was the first production car that had 100 HP per liter. Anyone car to guess what it was? year/make/model

I posted this in the "HHR SS: let's discuss" thread, but it goes here too:
Wow... the conflicting information continues. I just got off the phone with another local dealer (in Wisconsin) who stated that the 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS is ABSOLUTELY going to have an available automatic on it. The manual will be standard but the automatic WILL be an option. He told me that the information was directly from the regional zone manager and that they have already recognized that the brochure was wrong in only listing the manual. It will be revised / fixed in a revised brochure that will give all of the specifics of the 08 HHR SS in the specs matrix. I'm officially going put my verbal HHR deal agreement on ice and wait to learn more on the SS as information comes available.

SS Package
If your vehicle has the SS package, it is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer.
I keep finding more and more references to the HHR SS with automatic transmission.
