Chevy's much-anticipated HHR makes its official debut at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. This two-box, heritage-influenced vehicle was inspired by both the SSR and the original 1949 Suburban to round out Chevy's small-car strategy. The five-passenger vehicle is based on the Delta platform (shared with Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion), and is powered by either a 2.2-liter/140-hp or 2.4-liter/170-hp four-cylinder Ecotec with standard five-speed tranny or available electronically controlled four-speed automatic. Like the Chrysler PT Cruiser it is gunning for, the HHR ("heritage high roof") will have a customizable interior with seats that fold to create a flat load surface. Two model levels, LS and LT, include standard features such as air conditioning, power windows and door locks, six-speaker CD stereo, and remote keyless entry, as well as additional niceties. Chevrolet promises the HHR will be available in the second half of 2005. Click here to view a full photo gallery.Click to watch the 2006 Chevrolet HHR Video.
