I am talking about the interior of the 2010 LaCrosse coming out next year. Light years ahead of anything in the market.

looks fantastic. def a good HHR replacement. a modern chevy for the younger crowd.

Now, if this is the HHR replacement, or at most the same size as the HHR, then I'd be interested. And I hate the look of SUV's. Loving the interior, the exterior reminds me kinda sorta like the old C/K Blazer/Suburban from '67-'72, at least with the wheel arches.



And remember, the current HHR was styled after the earlier, post-war Suburbans.

Looks good...?? Sure, if your a fan of the Isuzu Axiom.....

I love the Isuzu Axiom! Too bad they're not nearly as good as the 'ol Trooper was.
I assume this is the Cruze Station Wagon?

[Pedal 2 Metal]

This looks very cool and very modern. This is one suv type thing I would actually be interested in.

[stevecmh]

it looks fantastic. i would def be interested in that.. i think it could be a good selle. i hope they decide to bring to the US.

It looks close to production besides the blue lights all over the place.. though the lights look pretty cool!

GM needs to build this thing as the next-gen HHR!!!

Does it have three rows of seats? It doesnt look like it.

[peterj2706]

Glad lots of you seem to like it. To me it looks like the somebody let the Aztek designers loose again, sorry........

[American_Muscle]

if this is production-ish...i bet it could come here as the next HHR. Note some similar styling cues that yes are different..but different in a "newly redesigned" way. The profile is similar, mainly in the rear door area. The fender flares, the use of blue lights in a dark cage cluster, the car like size/drive, short stubby hood, etc.

[FBODYRULES]

I like it! I like everything about it, and how can people diss tron?? weirdo's.
no way should it replace the HHR, the HHR should be replaced with something else retro when it does get replaced.

[MCGARRETT]

I have a strong suspicion as others have pointed out that this is in fact the next get HHR, which is fine with me, it looks great, and as for the "lights", dont be to quick to dismiss them as just turntable candy, but the blue "Tron" colors aside, lights inside the door handles? Why not? Not when the car is running, but as part of the vehicles illuminated entry system, and the lights in the mirrors? Again, totally do-able and realistic.

Just because they snazzed up the car for auto show duty with some cool colors does not mean it can happen, we have seen GM really get into the lighting tricks with the light pipes in the CTS and now the Camaro, who's to say whats next?

Pun?

As much as I love the retro, customizable HHR, this thing would look awesome with a few tweaks.

It is coming and it has 3 rows of seats(7 pass).

[Triple-X08]

if you look on SI, they have a listing under 2010 for the chevrolet orlando.

so its a good chance its going to be built.

they wouldnt go that far as to put info on SI if they were not to build it.

[mr_bots]

It was already announced that this WASN'T coming to the US. See post: WSJ: GM Shelves Plan to Build Chevy Crossover

No worries though, I'm sure the HHR will carry on for several more years virtually unchanged to fill the gap. Why would GM actually think people in the NA market would want a good looking, well designed vehicle such as this?
