I can't believe it. I'm actually floored. I thought the HHR was a good selling vehicle and most that have one that I've talked with really love their HHR, me too.

The architecture it's built on is at end of life.

Retro styling is hard to update, so they just move on.

The Orlando is not what you and many others think it is. This is a very basic van that really is non frills. The people who just reviewed it at the Paris show said it was a good thing they pulled from the US marketr as in production form it would not do well vs the other compitition in this country.

Believe me they do not want everyone to want a V8 truck as that is why they are working on other options to draw people away from them.

CAFE is going up on the trucks soon and they are working on many other options. Note they just confessed to a small truck that will be here in the future. Think S 10 Size. Also a new minivan and other crossovers.

There is a lot going on that many just don't know about yet.

It has sold well but like stated the Delta platform is at an end. It is very old and one of the oldest out there right now. It is in great need to be replaced.

The Retro styling is difficult to replace. But also the new Global platforms that are now being sold world wide would make it very difficult to do a new Retro HHR. The fact is outside a few fans few people understand what we see in the HHR. The reviews I have read from Europe leave them puzzles what we see in the car. Keep in mind they really have no point of referance to a 1948 Suburban since so few were sent to Europe.

To them it is a design oddity like some of their cars are to us.

Chevy has a few other better things coming and you will hear about them in the near future.

We ordered our 2010 HHR because IN Canada we were told 2010 was going to be the last year, but now we are told the 2011 HHR are starting to arrive.

You were given wrong info. GM never was going to kill it in 2010. They did cut many options and they did kill the SS in 2010.

Many know nothing salesmen too the SS death as the HHR death and reported it wrong.
