Ah, I thought you'd posted months ago that the 4T45 was finished being built out already. Oh well. The HHR may not be as dead yet afterall.

Funny thing, I think I saw your line on "How It's Made" a few weeks ago on the Science Channel down here. They were showing how automatic transmissions were assembled, then showed the transmission in an HHR on a lift when the segment was over.

Interestingly I have started to look over the Camaro. My youngest daughter will need a car by 2011, so I may give her the HHR SS and get a Camaro. Although I'm not sure I'll be able to get down into a car that low to the ground after owning an HHR!
