the SS ripoff
I was going to get into a SS. I built one on the GM website.
CONS:
no leather/heated seats
extra for a good music system (standard on LT2 )
I'll go for a SOLSTICE GXP !!
later/ rNr/mike

Just traded in a Solstice GXP with 3346 miles in on my new HHR SS in BFM
color. Solstice was very nice and a little quicker cause it weighs 300 #
less but the SS is just breaking in. I love the LNF turbo motor and bought
the GXP for it but when the HHR SS became available with same motor
( and available tunes for now), I was an easy sell cause of the room to
carry sooo much more than GXP.

Take a look at picture of DashHawk plot of GXP data showing boost (purple)
line showing about 200 kpa which is 15 psi boost, same as what I am
seeing today on HHR SS.

hmmmm. not happy with the interior options so you go for a completely different kind of vehicle. sounds like you weren't really interested in an HHR in the first place. And the sound system is standard on the 2LT anyways b/c that's an upgraded package in the first place. You're still paying for it, it's just thrown in with the option package...

I think that the SS is the best buy on the HHR. I looked at LT2's that were nearly the same price similarly equiped but didn't have the wheels, tires, stance, handling or horsepower. I also think that the mesh and suede with red trimmed seats look awesome and are more comfortable than the leather seats. To me the SS is a no brainer unless you want to save your money with a low optioned model.

Well, if you take a low-end SS and add aftermarket seat heaters and a kickin' stereo, you're still going to spend less money than on the GXP. Since you already have the HHR, you may want the GXP just to drive something different, though.

If you don't like what's offered you can always buy something that makes you happy. As for me, it's the whole package that I like and unless I built the whole car myself (see avatar) I'll settle for a few minor gripes.
