Re: Chevrolet Orlando to launch in 2009, U.S. likely to miss out

I agree.

On GMI and the internet, I (we) see what seems like dozens and dozens of new car debuts every year. There are only a small handful of those debuts that I see that make me think "that is a car that I am going to give a very close look at becasue it looks like something I would actually buy". The Orlando is one of them. VERY dissapointing that GM is not going to bring it here.

I like the type of vehicle the HHR is. We owned an HHR in the past, and other than some mechanical problems (needed a new radiator within the first year and had a few problems with the brakes and rotors), I liked the vehicle. The idea of a small, 4 cylinder crossover (smaller than the Vue with better mileage) is very appealing. I just don't want to be considering a Chevy HHR in 2010 that is still saddled with a 4 speed automatic transmission and is riding on a half-dozen year old (or more) platform.
