2009 Chevrolet HHR SS Turbo

Description

Here's one of the rarest and coolest modern classics around. This 2009 Chevrolet HHR SS takes a retro-cool commercial-grade machine and gives it an awesome turbocharged heart. And because Chevy likely sold more Impalas in one month of 2009 than there were HHR Super Sports made over its short three-year run, this is quite an affordable way to get into exclusive company.

The HHR was Chevrolet's way of having some fun with history. It was the car that gave us the retro-cool look of the scaled-down version of the Suburban. So it was only natural that they would get even more practical, and offer an option to have a solid rear quarter panel. It's a cool way to get a halfway point between a passenger car and a panel delivery. And because Chevy was having fun with a modern interpretation, some added performance got thrown into the mix. A turbocharged SS version was added to the lineup, and even some of the solid rear panel examples got the big power treatment. The odometer is believed to represent the full actual mileage, and so this panel van has been driven but far from a daily delivery lifestyle. That's why the body has a clean look and the paint has a bold red glow. Plus, they upgraded this with black racing stripes to go well with the blackout grilles, upgraded blackout bow tie emblems, and tinted glass. There's also a factory body kit, rear roof spoiler, and a terrific set of 18-inch alloys. So when you have the clean slab-sided look of the body and meaner style, we can't help but think of a hot rod surf wagon. Of course, we wouldn't blame you for putting your company logo on the side and making this the most fun business expense ever.

The fifth-generation Camaro was first hitting the streets about the same time as this HHR SS, and you can see they practiced some of its style on this car first. Up front, there are two nicely bolstered bucket seats. They look terrific with the red accenting and suede-like trim. This is coordinated with door panels for a well-done uniform presentation. It's loaded with the best features, including cold-blowing air conditioning, a power sunroof, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, cup holders, dual front airbags, side airbags, and a premium AM/FM/CD/XM stereo w/aux input for your iPod. This is quite a practical ride with comfortable back seats, or you can fold them down for even more panel van versatility. The grippy sports steering wheel feels nice in your hands, and it's mounted on a tilt column to give you a clear view to the large speedo and tach. Plus, the boost gauge on the A-pillar is a nice reminder of something special in the engine bay.

Under the hood is a tidy and stock-looking motor. That's important because it's the heart of what makes this Chevy so special. It produces 250 horsepower which puts it near juggernauts like the contemporary Subaru WRX. You get full control over this powerful package thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. And while this is a practical panel van, it shares many of its components with the nimble Chevrolet Cobalt SS. And you've got power steering, grippy Pirelli performance tires, and a four-wheel power disc brake package featuring ABS.

The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and owner's manual packet. This is rare, interesting, fun, loaded, and practical, and so this HHR SS delivers everything you want - including a value price. Call today!!!
