It's Official! It's a Panel Van!

Who says slow news days don't yield surprises? Moments ago, we received the GM press materials announcing the all-new HHR Panel. At first, we assumed it was a SEMA thing, but lo and behold, this is an actual production car, and GM is to be commended. Unlike other panel concepts we've seen in the past, such as the Chrysler Panel Cruiser, the HHR Panel does not see the removal of its second set of doors.

Instead, the passenger doors are replaced by solid cargo doors that open via a dashboard release button. This provides easy access to the cargo area, which features a flat load floor and over 57 cubic feet of space...

I saw the picture at GMI. Looks pretty cool

Notice how they took off the antenna for the picture...

Guess they didn't want everyone to think it was delivering fish!:lol:

Now THAT is cool.

Look at the other pics on the Autoblog site. They show them open.

Saw that after I scrolled down. :lol: Small businesses are going to love this.

The buttons on the steering wheel are different than those on the 06 models, is that the way they come now on 07s, or has this one been custom fitted? Notice the "mute" button is located in a much better spot!

The rear cargo area should be dropped all the way to the floor...it still looks like the seats are folded down, space wise. Remove it all together, down to the spare area and really make use of that space

I'd have to have one for my small business...wrapped or with decals

Hell, I wanna start a small business just as an excuse to trade up!
