Jeff, the dealership that i purchased my SS from had 5 back on march 31st. I got the only 5 speed, three others were black auto, and one blue auto. I would have a Blue SS if it would have been manual. Oh well.

There is atleast one other Black SS on the eastside. I Seen him rollin around south euclid/cleveland/east cleveland areas. I saw a red one the day after i bought mine on the highway, and another red one parked in a driveway in Euclid near the golf course. Other than that, nothin.

From what I have heard GM expects to build around 10,000 SS's in 09. Last year was not a full production year.

For the most part while the 08 is called a 08 it really was the first 09 HHR offered. It had all the updates for the starting 09 models. GM will add more as 09 moves on.

This is really a good marketing plan as the new models will be out dated befoe the year is even over. This helps keep demand up.

I have yet to see an SS in the wild, or anywhere except pictures.

What's interesting is the HHRs I do see, probably 90% are the LT variety, the rest are LSs. I'd of thunk it'd be the opposite.

Still no sighting of another SS in my travels. Tho i do tend to see more non-SS's since i got mine (big surprise, this happens with anything i buy when i get it LOL)

Heck, i can honestly say i never saw another SS in a dealers lot either! Killed time early one morning the other day, walked the dealer lot i found mine at (tho i had it dealer traded to the dealer i used to work at yrs ago) and only saw ONE HHR and it was a '09 (and the orig. dealer on the sticker was in Kansas , so it made a long trip to get to NW Indiana) and other than a used '07 , that was the only HHR sighting on the lot.

Sooooo funny. I have yet to see an SS yet too! Whenever I do see an LT or LS I smile and wave in my shiny black SS-I'm sure they think I'm crazy!

Saw one!

...on my way to work last night. Really attractive blue one, rode along for some time.
On the way home this morning I saw a black and a red HHR, both w/ dealer plates and grease pencil on the windows tooling south on I-55. They were LS models but the mini caravan of HHR's was kinda cool just the same.

Saw another one this morning at 5:30am on I-271 south in the local lanes, and I was in the express lanes. It was black.
