It's A Funny Thing
How can I miss my new HHR so much when I just traded in the same model year that I have been driving for the last two years? I want my new to me car back dam sun roof.
They gave me a Cruz to drive and i am not impressed as I just do not fit in it very well being of larger size

In my opinion, a Cruze is a step down from an HHR, both in utility and that hard to define "fun to drive" nature that HHR's possess.
If GM would use the chassis tuning applied to the Cruze's Buick cousin the Verano, they'd be a nicer car.
Hopefully the 2016 Cruze will benefit from some serious tweaking to go with its sharper styling, but time will tell.

Its "Replacement " was the Orlando.
You would have to take one out for a spin to decide for yourself if it is even close.

Is the Orlando available in the states now?
p.s. it's the last vehicle to use the same 2.4 as the hhr, no direct injection
EDIT: I've been corrected, it uses the newer direct injected 2.4, however it seems there is no real improvement in performance or fuel economy.
