The Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT, is listed as a fit for your 2010 Chevy HHR. installation is fairly simple and I have included a link to the installation details for you and a video review.
If you are looking for the easiest bike rack to install then I recommend the Thule Raceway, # TH9001. This rack uses retractable cables rather than straps and is the fastest and easiest bike rack to install that I have seen. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video of the 3 bike version for you.
For any trunk mount bike rack, if you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a video link that shows how the adapter works.
Before mounting a trunk mount rack you should always clean the vehicle where the rack makes contact, and the feet of the rack to avoid scratching the vehicle. Waxing the vehicle where the bike rack will be will also help to protect the finish.
In terms of denting the vehicle, it is always possible with any rack that once bikes are loaded, there could be enough pressure to temporarily deform non-metal parts of the car. This deformation is not normally permanent but in some cases with heavy bikes and racks, it can be.
