And then there is the Spark (yikes). Is this the same company that developed the ZR1, CTS/V HHR SS, Camaro?................http://www.chevrolet.com/spark/
Just because it is efficient does it really need to look this awful?

Honestly, the Spark isn't the worst "*****box" type car I've seen lately. I'm frustrated as of late though with the looks of most domestic cars. Although today, I saw a brand new Accord in a parking lot. I was alarmed to see that stopped ripping BMW off and it looks like they straight lifted the tail from an Impala. Random thought, sorry!

I can't believe anyone wants any type of van/wagon with bugger all for cargo space. If you're removing the damned seats for space then the point of having such a vehicle is completely defeated. As for styling and gas mileage, I'll be buying a Jetta TDI wagon long before one of these dinky toys and piss myself laughing at what they're pitching as "fuel efficiency". I'm a huge supporter of GM (spent 75K with them in the last 2 years, no leasing came straight from our checking account) and they can count me out with all the crap they're pulling. Hell the Mrs was ready to put a down payment on a Volt until she was given their new handout and saw what they had done to it. Needless to say she's not buying one now. You'd swear the company is populated by huffers.

The current Front ends on most Chevy's really suck. I'll leave Chevy for sure when the HHR goes away. Hopefully Buick will still be in business.. I've owned a LOT of Chevy's too. Over 22 Corvairs alone ( I know, I need help
).
It's always been a balance of dependability and Style for us and Chevy's. My dad is on his last Monte Carlo, the final year of Production. Great MPG and a fun well made auto.
My Last Chevy my well be the last production year HHRSS. We'll see when that is. Looks like it's coming faster than many of us would like.

I don't know, I like it. Alot like the Vibe I guess. It loses the HHR look, but let's be frank- the HHR is a great design but I would hate to see Chevy run it out there too long like Chrysler has done with the PT Cruiser. If all the HHR gets is a 5 year production run, fine with me. I would love to see a more suburbanesque look to the Orlando, but then again there is no way that is the final draft of that car so who knows? I definitely like the interior setup. Being able to stow 4 seats would be awesome, and it would make up for the loss of the two circle vents and garbage bin on the center console.

Could this cause HHR production to run a little longer? One could hope.
