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!)

That's what I'm seeing as well. I'm not so sure this is a good idea. I think the HHR is just the right size and shouldn't be edged out by a bigger and a smaller sibling.
