Changes from '06 to '07 to '08?

What changes have been made to the HHR since it was introduced? I asked the salesman when I bought my HHR, and he was clueless.

Thanks...More power for the new 2.2 motor? Was Onstar standard in the '06 and '07 as it is now?

I think the 06s had a plastic fender guard where as the 07 has a clear thin piece there to protect from road chips.

I don't remember HP numbers off the top of my head, but they changed the coil setup and the ability to be able to tune the ECM (computer). The Onstar was not standard on the 06, or 07 like it is on the 08.
