I just got the September issue of Motor Trend today. On page 16: "Chevy has hinted at a performance version of the now popular HHR since before the base model's launch. It looks to be ready for the 2007 calendar year, with the same 260-horsepower, 2.0 liter turbo four used in the Pontiac Solstice GXP and the Saturn Sky Red Line."

I'm going to set up my lawn chair and sleeping bag at my dealer tomorrow so I can be first in line!

 

 

..and a teaser pic!




*LINK* to an October article

 

socal...you think an aftermarket can get the same HP for $4500? If not I'm ready to trade my ride in! wooohoo!

 

Thanks Sin for that but I think he's referring to something in this months issue. The one you posted is from last October. Though did you notice the article you posted said that the stock's off the line performance was about the same as the STS.

 

awe dang... and I thought I was doin' good.
I edited took out the article text but left the link. Silly me!

 

Sorry about no pics - I checked Motor Trend's web site - no pics are there and I don't have a scanner. Yeshua, if you'd like, I'll hold the magazine up to the monitor so you can take a look!

 

Knowing our members I'd bet someone's already got their scanner fired up.....hey! turn back , I wasn't done reading that page!

 

I did find this link http://news.windingroad.com/?p=129

Looks like the same HHR.

 

...and these (I apologize if they've already been posted)
