I like the exterior a lot. Except the glass roof panels. Now the dash thats another matter. Way to busy and I don't like the shifter location and huge radio.
The HHR platform was a one shot deal design wise. It is based on a 1949 design so were would the design go from here? A big change is coming and this one so far looks pretty good to me.

My two cents.
Hey guys, Personally I like it. We all know good things must come to an end. There are already a ton of HHR's out there. I like that the hhr is unique. If there were too many HHR's out there it would take away from the uniqueness. With the addition of a new baby girl coming to my young family, I am looking for a fuel efficient 7 passanger car. The Orlando sounds right for me. Ill still keep the HHR as a toy though. Looks nice sitting next to my 1970 opel gt. Though I will add that so far from what I have read the Orlando is only planned to be released in europe and it has yet to be determined if it will make it state side. I would like it though 2.0turbodeisel with 150hp and 230 ft lb torque. Sounds like a great fuel effiencient people mover with a potential to tow more than the HHR.

I read an article recently that said Chevy has no plans to stop making the HHR anytime soon, and the Orlando may not even come here. As of now the idea that the Orlando will replace the HHR is nothing but an internet rumor.

Furthermore, GM has no plans to discontinue to the Chevrolet HHR and there is currently a new Tacuma MPV in the works. Sales of both of these vehicles will continue in the U.S.
