Lone Ranger mentioned that the HHR SS would use more fuel above....
Not sure about that, though. Well, GM hasn't published mileage numbers yet for the HHR SS, but in the same engine in the Pontiac Solstice actually has higher highway mileage than the 2.4 LE5. Same figures for the city.
Likely due to smaller displacement and the direct injection, which is more efficient.

Didn't say anything about stepping in some old gum with your right foot, followed by stepping on a lead plate, which then becomes attached to your foot, then driving.

We've decided to skip the SS.
Kept going over our budget and just couldn't make the numbers work. So instead I picked up a 1992 Deville with only 86k on it, paid $2600. So now Bob doesn't have to go through 10 miles of constuctuion zones for the next three years. It's already been brutal on the paint and the main reason the painted grille is toast.
Maybe down the road we can still gwet an SS but for now the caddy will be taking me to work.
BUT.....if I had to make the choice given here, unless I needed the height of the Nox, I'd have to go with the SS.

So that Torrent GXP, does it share platforms with the Equinox Sport? Those two vehicles look very similar, with similar powertrains. Just badge engineering? I gotta think that even though they are upgraded packages from the HHR, they will also get a lot worse gas mileage, and for me, that is very important. Last time I filled up premium was about $3.30 a gal.
