Hmm.... 260 horsepower turbo 4 from the Pontiac Solstice GXP, a practical and roomy package, I think this may be a winner! 👍

Practical? It's one of the most impractical cars on the market. It's absolutely illogical, it has no market at all.

The HHR is only of GM's biggest failures in my books, I have no idea what's making them think that people actually want this car in the first place.

Mazdaspeed 3, Caliber SRT-4, and now HHR SS...

Good stuff

What are you smoking, they are everywhere. GM is making money on these things.

HHR's aren't bad cars, they are practical if you don't want an SUV and have to carry stuff around. I still don't think I would want to own one, but that's due to the fact I have zero need for a car like that.

But yes they have a market, people said the PT didn't have a market and it sold. They are niche cars.

I'll be interested to see how well the SS model performs, I would guess it would be one par with a GTI but less refined and much cheaper.

IS this like another version of that hideous thing in GT4? (the SSR of whatever...)

That car is really, really, ridiculously ugly.

SSR is based on the Trailblazer (RWD truck with a V8)

HHR is based on the Cobalt (FWD economy car with a I4 Ecotec)

For those who don't know:

This thing is going to haul, and I'm quite excited to see the final product. If GM can get the suspension tuning just-right, this should be a performer, and hopefully will be able to gun with the SRT-4 and the Mazdaspeed3. We'll see I guess, but it does make one hope for the 2.0 DI Turbo to show-up in the Cobalt SS as well...
