Red stripe down the side of my 2010 Chevy HHR LT

I have been searching for the significance of the red stripe down the side of my dark blue 2010 Chevy HHR LT. I haven't been able to find an answer anyway including the owners manual! Can anyone please let me know what it it represents? Thank you!

Maybe nothing more than someone thought it would look good.

thank you, I love it, it came from the factory like that but I just never knew if it represented something or what. As old as it is it still runs like a new car with minimal problems. Best car I've owned!

or Fall Edition

My 2008 LT had the same red/gray pinstripe. I always thought it was after market by the rental agency that bought it originally. From here, I don't see an XM antenna which would indicate yours was originally a rental.

Where is the XM antenna? Ours has an antenna on the roof right above the windshield. We got ours three years ago, a inherited gift from my husband's brother. I'm not sure how long he had it. It did have low mileage, very well taken care of. We kept up with the care. Except for the driver's side door handles first on the outside, couldn't open it n after that was fixed the inside door handle broke off completely! I saw several people with the same problem with the door handles..

Mine spent time in CA and then AZ as a rental before coming to FL where I bought it. Rental is not necessarily bad as they rotate them out of service for sale at low mileage when the resale value is high. It's all in the accounting.
