It has nothing to do with a light truck and the HHR is built on a car chassis, the same one as the Cobalt and Ion. You can buy an LT Aveo if you want and thats far from a truck! Trust me all three of those people were talking out their ass and LT has nothing to do with light truck. Here is a list of Chevy cars available in LT:
LT Aveo
LT Cobalt
LT Malibu / Malibu Maxx
LT Impala
LT Monte Carlo
Six different cars from Chevy that all are LTs. Sorry Teknobunie, light truck has nothing to do with Chevys meaning of LT!

OK:
My Astro was a LS.........There is a LT option too. They have added the LTZ, and the ZL1 in the truck(Tahoe) line. don't know what the LTZ and ZL1stands for but is an option designation.
I think the LS(luxury sedan) and LT(Luxury Touring), is probably right but as far as 1LT, 2LT????????????? Good question....Then there is the SS(Super Sport) the old RS(Rally Sport) and the Z cars? Z-28, Z-34, Z-24, these were factory option codes... Be interesting to see what Chevrolet says is the now definition of these two Abbreviations. Obviously LS, 1LT and 2LT are Options codes.

LS = Luxury Sport
LT = Luxury Touring
And while I'm at it, here's some other common ones for GM:
SS = Super Sport
RS = Rally Sport
GT = Gran Turismo
GS = Gran Sport
GSX = Gran Sport eXtra
GTO = Gran Turismo Omologato
442 = 4 speed, 4 barrel, 2 exhausts.
LUV = Light Utilty Vehicle
APV = All Purpose Vehicle
IROC = International Race Of Champions
SSR = Super Sport Roadster
And of course, don't forget HHR = Heritage High Roof
LT = Luxury Touring

The LS models have a softer, more "touring" based suspension.
The LT Models are firmer and more "sportier" sprung.
Just doesn't make any sense does it?
