So lets talk about this new baby.
It`s Turbo Charged and Intercooled, I`ll bet the engine compartment will be a show piece.
If the intercooler is in the lower grill, and according to the pix, there`s a mesh grill in place, I think a silverish intercooler with some sorta light set-up would be Fantabulous...

well it's been a long time coming.
That engine compartment looks interesting but there's not much detail there.
I for one wish the grille bar was a little lower, but maybe they need it there for maximum cooling with that t/c setup.

MEAN HHR

I think Chevy/GM should of left Victory Red in the past with the Spring Edition.

I have a '06 Spring Edition and I like the fact that I am one of two Victory red/SE HHR's within Bakersfield and one of 2300 period.

Special Editions should have special colors that aren't available in any other model or year afterward.

Just my $.02.

P.S. If the HHR SS is offered in an auto, I will be in line to buy one once they hit the dealers. Personally I like manuals for cars like this, but I have a bad left knee (4 surgeries) and the wife can't drive stick to save her life. Now its autos for life....

Glad to see information in print on this. Makes it more of a reality.

I doubt you will see a SS Panel. You might be able to special order on. But I don't see it happening. They will not put rear seats in the panel folks, too many safety issues there.

5speed, this should have the 6 speed. Glad to see no auto offered.

Without a doubt, GM would certainly increase their sales of the HHR SS if they offered an automatic...

i would rather have a auto just because i dont like how low the shifter is, if the center console was redesinged i would consider a 5 speed, which should be a 6 speed.

seems that if you want the panel, you don't need back seats anyways....

I got my copy of the 2008 HHR brochure today, from my dealer. This is page 9 of the brochure...When I first saw this, I thought they might actually be producing 2 tone HHRs now. However, at the bottom of the page it says "HHR Panel 2LT in Silverstone Metallic/Black (not an available color combination)." Then why put it in the brochure?!?!? Oh well, maybe they are getting closer to producing the 2 tone from the factory.

They had to do something with the panel that GM was touring the auto shows with.
