I was just 21 when they started showing up on the streets in 2009, but I was determined I would have one some day. The 5th Gen Camaro is almost equally as magical as the 67-72 trucks most all of us love here. Gm really hasn’t done a whole lot right in the last 15-20 years in my opinion, but the 10-15 Camaro is certainly one huge thing they nailed.

I really liked my '07 HHR Panel too. It was a funky little thing. I liked the look of the regular wagons, when they came out in '05, but not really in the market for a new vehicle, still rolling the '98 S-10. I went to look at new HHRs in '06, but my local dealer dropped the ball, so I let it slide. Later, I was glad that it happened like that, because I had seen pics of the panel version by then. No one around locally had one in stock to actually look at though?
I had to drive about 35 miles south, to a small town dealer who had one. It was just base model and fleet white, but it gave me some sense of the interior, which was my main concern. I ended up ordering a higher trim level version from them. That thing was perfect for me and my work. It's a 2 seater with a long flat floor, functionally kind of like a small pick up truck with a cap. The 2 seat thing did eventually become a problem as my kid got older. It's not like the Camaro has luxurious rear seats, but they are legal, and I have always had a 4 x 4 truck since buying it.
I really like the halo ring headlights of the '14, that was a very short-lived feature.
