If you look on the Chevy site you'll find you can't display the window stickers on the SS models for some reason. Need to make a few calls to find one with the 5 speed.

I have had this same problem for a couple months now - it's really irritating.

Well thanks for all the replies...definitely made me really interested in the car, even more then I was prior to the thread...really surprised to have the response from people who traded in their goats to get one and still happy about it, not regretting the decision, although I dont think I will doing the same...going to keep mine and pamper it some

But anyway...I was able to find one near by to where I work and ofcourse, took the trip over and test drove one of these bad boys...man, let me tell you...absolutely loved it...kinda sucked that the dealer went with on the test drive...he had never been in one before and wanted the excuse to take it out and drive it himself, but what can you do...

Needless to say, it was more then what I was thinking it would be...I have been in a regular HHR as a rental before and wasnt all too impressed by the interior, but in the SS, I was greatly surprised...isnt as good as whats in the goat, but then again, the goat was much more expensive, so you pay for what you get...the seats in the SS were very nice and hugged me just right...being a big guy, it isnt always the easiest thing to find "bucket" seats that still fit me comfortably but these did...I also thought that the placement of the shifter in relation to the console/radio and back part of the center console (where the E-brake is) was very well down...been in many cars where they put a cup holder in front of the shifter and everytime you shift into the top gears, your hand bangs into whatever is in it or even into the radio...not this one, very well done and ergonomic...

Overall, I am very impressed with the car as a whole...handled and performed well, more then what I thought it would...the interior was definitely up to my standards and was not in any way a let down...and after today looking at one of the new SRT4 Calibers, the HHR SS is definitely in front as far as what car to by next...cant wait until the end of the year when the goat has been payed off for sometime and can get into one of these guys...

That is just *SO* wrong on so many levels.... I wish I thought of that first!
