Love the retro look and the smoothness of the panel design. I DJ car shows and the design allows me to actually fit in with the rest of the show cars.
As a Mobil DJ, I find the HHR has adequate room, and the panel option allows for security of equipment.
The 2007 Panel I had had great reliabilty and never gave me any trouble.
I liked the addition of Victory Red
I like the dash design and they finally put the window controls where they should be and the "lift to raise" feature is a great safety idea.
