Helllo! Good luck in searching for the perfect HHR for you! I am not far from you at all, I am in Naperville. I would check Bill Kay in Lisle or Dan Wolf Chevrolet in Naperville, they will probably be the first in the area to receive an SS. I was at Bill Kay in Lisle right around Thanksgiving time, and they had one on order.

Happy hunting!

 

Yes, Sandy Beach, I will "share" it with my wife.

We just test drove a black SS today.
I got 2 calls from 2 dealers, both having black, automatics.
It is a lot better than I expected.
Drives great, and is really a good looking piece.
I was the 1st to drive it, with 18 miles on the odometer.
I layed into it slightly, and it pulled up to 10 PSI of boost quickly, with a slight bit of torque steer.
The side ground effects (running boards) are a little cheesy, but overall, it is nice.
We are going to wait for the other dealers around to call me when they get some other colors in.
I am waiting on a Victory Red, Sunburst Orange, and a Blue to come in.

Anyone in the area of Doylestown, Pa. Fred Beans Chevy has a Black automatic, with a few "break in" miles already on it.
