Cryptic? Try and imagine how big the sticker would be if it was in long-hand.

Go by what your stickers say - who knows what vin decoder you used.

You have a 2.2 engine - LE8 Engine - Flexible Fuel, (GAS/ALC), 4 Cyl, 2.2L, MFI, VVT, ALUM, GM

and of course the automatic - MN5 Transmission - Automatic 4 Speed, HMD, 4T45-E

When you use the VIN decoder remember the HHR is a "light truck". That is because the US CAFE standards, they needed to bolster the MPG ratings for the truck category.

also note 1LT and FE1 on the RPO label.

Here is one VIN decoder: https://chevroletforum.com/forum/vindecoder.php
Here is a manual one: https://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vincards/

Here is a database for RPO codes: http://www.rpocodes.com/

LS---basic with 2.2

SS---Performance model

But the info FMG gave was very simple. I thought it was an 2018 inquiry also.

" but, what does it say on the rear hatch door ?" - I had to laugh at that one too - still relevant after all these years. hummm sounds like a country song.

Guess my new name will be Simple George. Maybe I can get a cameo if they ever film Tropic Thunder II.

I thought the difference between the 1LT and 2LT was the chrome appearance package. Mine has the LT badge but no chrome. I added aftermarket chrome door handle and tail light rings.
