Expect it to go on sale in Fall of 2010 in the US.
But this product may also spell the end of the HHR as we know it. Between the "Orlando" and the small, Gamma CUV Chevy GMI reported Chevrolet was slated to get earlier (which will compete against the Nissan Rogue and Hyundai Tucson) - the HHR will get squeezed out and replaced by these to products together.
So instead of one HHR - Chevy will split the segment with two crossover products.
Let's just hope that GM doesn't badge engineer these for other brands in North America (No underfunded/wasted Saturn version is needed, thank you!) |
The Opel/Saturn Zafira will also be built @ Hamtrammick (@ least that has been stated in other threads). It will be interesting to see how much different the sheet metal is between the Orlando and the Zafira....
