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.

my wife has a cruze. its a nice car but not as comfortable as my HHR.I plan on buying a '11 HHr next year and unload my '08. I wish chevy would have replaced the HHr with something similar to it.

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.

I got my HHR back today and it drives great. The Orlando is interesting but the back end looks like doodoo...I am sticking with my HHR.
