Chevy has joined Dodge and Mazda in the turbocharged-hatchback wars. We’re not sure Chevy’s HHR needed a high-powered version — of course, we don’t think the Dodge Caliber was really asking for one either — but reviewer Mike Hanley found enough to like about this trim level. Check out the review and the accompanying video if you need a hatchback and 260 hp.

"These three models start around $23,000, so if you're looking for a multitasking car at a lower price, the Scion xB starts at $15,650. It doesn't offer the turbocharged power of the others, but it still has an entertaining driving experience, offers quite a bit of cargo room and has a more comfortable backseat than the HHR SS. Plus, its lower price leaves a lot of extra money for trips to the gas station, which is more important than ever these days."
OR you could buy a regular version of any of these 3- and reap the same benefits.

The standard HHR gets 0% for 72 months, does this SS model receive that financing as well?
They better include the SS as well, or else why not just get the WRX?
Similarly priced, has independent rear suspension, and best of all, AWD. 260hp on a FWD? Too much.
260 hp on a front wheel drive is just fine with this vehicle. I know. I have one and wouldn't trade it for anything!
