Fall Into Limited All-Black Chevy HHR

Hhr1

Chevrolet didn’t win any originality points when it debuted its retro wagon last year. Aping the dimensions and layout of the popular Chrysler PT Cruiser — and designed by the same person — the HHR still seems to be selling well, beating the company’s expectations. Now, Chevy is once again following Chrysler’s lead with a limited edition version of its style-driven wagon.

The Fall Limited Edition HHR is black with an ebony interior and black chrome grille, door handles and 17-inch wheels. No, we’re not sure how they decided on this name. It’s pretty easy to come up with better alternatives, like: HHR Blak. Hey, it worked for Coca-Cola.

Underneath all that blackness is a standard HHR 2LT model with a 149-hp four-cylinder engine, antilock brakes and a premium stereo. Chevy says the Fall Limited Edition is available now for an MSRP of $20,265. The price is equivalent to similarly loaded non-limited edition 2LT models. We’re not sure when the experimentation into retro design will end, but if you were going to buy an all-black HHR anyway, you may as well get this one.

I JUST HAVE TO SAY BLACK IS THE WORST COLOR THEY COULD HAVE DONE A LIMITED EDITION IN. LAST FALL I RENTED A BLACK HHR WHILE ON VACATION. THE CAR WAS VERY ROOMY AND ALL AROUND A GOOD CAR HOWEVER IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A HEARSE FOR LITTLE PEOPLE IN BLACK.

yeah, usually thats a look for most, if not all SUVS, Crossovers, Wagons and Minivans, no exception here, but the HHR is a really appealing car to me!

We love our black HHR! Yeah, we have to watch it a lot but it is totally classy looking and since we are going for the retro look with it we don't mind if people think it looks a little like a hearse. In my opinion, black is the absolute best color for an HHR but you just have to realize how often you are going to have to wash it.

We have an ORANGE HHR 2LT. You'd think ORANGE would be a good fall color. Nevertheless, we love our HHR. Roomy, functional, solid and great on gas. My wife drives our three kids everywhere. We had a Ford Expedition. We miss the room, but not the 12 mpg. A little odd on ergonomics - power window switch placement, cupholders.

I work for a business machine co as a service rep.I have had the small pickup trucks just about through out my career,mazda for the most part.I just can't get over the HHR design and flexability of this vehicle.I run into problems with ride alongs,no place for them to sit.My front passanger seat is alwayss full of "STUFF".I think I'll see about getting the panel,it looks great and I love the storage.
