Dear Motoretro,
I have read through the thread and I am glad that other HHR owners have been able to assist you with your various questions.
According to the information that I have available to me, the rear seats were not an available option for the 2010 Chevrolet HHR Panel LT vehicle. I would have to agree with Greybeard999 about the seats being added after market.

The Cargo box is missing as is any type of spare tire or kit. I agree w/ your assessment on the clutch, 12K in 10 months is not a tremendous amount of miles although my feelings are the previous owner may have been slipping it a bit more than normal. I currently drive a 2.7 powered small truck w/ manual trans. Panel had 16" wheels. With all the current rebates and discounts, I can purchase new for less. Unfortunately the LT Panel is no longer available and I would have to take LS.

No chrome tip. I believe all manual trans HHR's were 2.2's

Girlfriend and I each own a 2.4 manual
The 2.4 engine was optional on 1LT and standard on 2LT. Manual transmission 2.4 liter 2LTs have always been rare. I believe they had to be special-ordered. My 2007 and girlfriend's 2006 each are 2LT, manual transmission, with sunroof and heated leather seat options. My research suggests that the automatic was made "standard" on 2LT from 2009. Apparently, 2.4 engine 2LT with the manual coexisted for 2006-2008 only. I am not aware of any option to delete the automatic transmission, and a search I did on autotrader.com for 2009 and newer manual transmission HHR LT yielded only 1LT specimens. A 2009+ 1LT with manual transmission and the optional 2.4 is theoretically possible, but would be extraordinarily rare. As mentioned above, for performance the SS is the only place to go for a manual transmission after 2008. The performance rung under that, 2.4/manual, was "kicked out" after 2008.
