On most of the GM sedans, and coupes, like the Impala, Cobalt, etc.. the steering wheel, radio, some guages and seats are the same as what's in the HHR.

The entire center console gets re-used in the Saturn Aura. Take a good look the next time you see it in the TV commercials. As far as why, well ...
My wife is in a masters-level engineering course which features lectures by engineers from a lot of car manufacturers. Apparently part of GM's design process is determining how many parts can be interchanged with various other vehicles, the main reason being to keep production costs down! If you notice, for instance, the same steering wheel is used in most of the passenger vehicles GM produces regardless of badge, the only differences being the manufacturer logo on the center horn. Hell, even Suzuki uses it!
