2007 Chevrolet HHR Review
A two-seat model targeted at delivery companies is a midyear addition to the HHR lineup. These compact wagons are named for their "Heritage High Roof" styling inspired by early 1950s Chevrolet Suburbans. All HHR models have front-wheel drive and share a basic platform with Chevy's Cobalt. Regular HHR wagons seat five. They are joined by 2-seat "Panel" versions that lack rear-door- and quarter windows. Panels have rear side doors that unlatch via dashboard buttons instead of exterior door handles. Both are available in LS and LT trims. A 149-hp 2.2-liter 4-cyl engine is standard. A 175-hp 2.4-liter 4-cyl is standard on LT Panels, optional on LT wagons. Both engines are available with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Included with the automatic is remote engine start. ABS and curtain side airbags are optional. All HHRs have air conditioning, power windows/locks/mirrors, and remote entry. A split folding rear seat and fold-flat front-passenger seat are standard on 4-dr HHRs.

News
Word is this 2006 newcomer will be freshened for 2009. That likely means a heavy revamp of the current design, not a clean-sheet replacement.

Meantime, Chevy will add an HHR Panel by mid-2007, likely as an '08 model. Besides the typical painted-metal inserts replacing rear side windows, the Panel has only two seats and rear cargo doors instead of a liftgate. The cargo doors and rear side doors lack exterior handles, but can be opened from inside. Offering the same trim levels and powertrains as passenger HHRs, the Panel aims to be a thrifty delivery car for urban-based businesses, as well as a "blank canvas" for customizing by enthusiast owners. Payload is unchanged at 900 lb.
