Talked to Chevy HHR rep at the detriot auto show(NAIAS), she said it would be out next year but followed quickly with if it makes it to production. My bet panel this year SS next year introduced.

 

caint wait to see both of them!

 

how bout SS Panel

 

I'm beginning to wonder if the SS is really going to happen after all, what with Lutz saying they've "wasted" the SS badging on cars like the Malibu with a 240 hp twin-cam V6, sport suspension, seats, and tap-shift transmission. Nope, nothing "super" about that...

I figured we'd have seen the SS before we saw a factory panel, so I'm thinking it's either not going to happen at all, or we'll see the 2.0 supercharged Ecotec and it's not going to be called SS. I'm doubting we'll ever see the turbo DI Ecotec in any FWD domestic model from GM, too.

 

Well, what exactly is "SS" supposed to mean? When I grew up in the '60's and '70's, SS stood for Super Sport, which usually meant better handling and speed parts applied to the car. But not many cars had the SS attached to them.

Are we saying that today the SS badge is just bandied about too much, or that the cars that have the moniker do not deserve it?

I'd like that treatment to the HHR, but I don't care if it is badged as such. Heck, the "SS" badge cost more to insure back in the day. I'd like to avoid paying extra insurance for a badge.

 

have to wait and see, I have not even seen a panel down here in Naples yet..

 

Hey guys just received a call form my dealer with the SS news. I am going to get the brochure from him later this weekend and will post pics, but for now I know for sure it is going to be a 2.0 supercharged w/ 260hp. the interior and exterior have the usual killer SS styling. As soon as I get my hands on the brochure we will have pics.

 

It will be turbocharged.

 

so did you get the brochure???
