Chevrolet HHR SS 2008 review.
The 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS is the latest example of what Chevrolet considers the new generation of SS cars — vehicles that, to quote the PR folks’ oft-repeated mantra, “go, stop and turn significantly better” than standard Chevrolet cars.
Chevrolet is counting on the HHR SS to give buyers a proper re-introduction to the SS lineup.

Chevy has eliminated this problem in the HHR SS, which is great — there’s no sudden burst of power to break the wheels loose as you jet out of the corners. But turbo lag is also a cheap thrill, and to be honest, I kind of missed it. Chevy claims a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds and a 15.8 second quarter mile, but the HHR SS doesn’t feel that fast.
Chevy promises more models like the HHR SS, including the 2009 Cobalt SS, which will get the same powertrain as the HHR SS.
