all the SS's I look up at surrounding dealers ALL have automatics, not one a manual.

Are most of the SS's on the lots that you guys find all autos? I'm dying to drive a 5 speed.

 

been looking all weekend, within 100 miles found 2 sticks of about 25.
You would think being an ss model and such a huge horsepower diff, and a 1000.00 dollar price diff you think they would stock up on the 5spd

 

well they do make more money with the automatic. That's a $1000 option, so every auto they sell they're pushing just a little more profit. Fewer clutches and synchros to replace under warranty too I would assume.

 

I would never buy an auto in a HHR but I hope they make 99% auto`s because I work at the GM Windsor Transmission Plant home of the HHR auto.

 

i guess you could consider it job security!

 

Seems like around here (southern new england) about 1/3 of those listed are 5spd the rest are Auto. I just wish one of the Local dealers would get Any SS in to check out.

 

Yeah I want a manual but gladly test drove an auto last week :)

 

We don't even get manual LS or LT models around here. But, I'm happy with my automatic and use the remote start in extreme cold or heat. It's a nice option.

 

The remote start would be the only reason I would consider a auto. 5 speed is just so much fun. I'm starting to wonder though if I got lucky with mine, I haven't seen to many 5 speeds at the dealers lately

 

What the SS really needs is a sequential 5 speed that will take all the HP of the standard.
