Here's a link for my local news station...there are a few video links on their home page, including the unveiling of the new Chevy "Cruze" that will be built in the Lordstown plant, about 30 minutes from my house. They just added about 1400 additional workers to start up the third shift again since Cobalt sales have been up...too bad new hires only make $14/hr

Finally some good news for GM and Ohio!


BTW, what's under the hood?

HillsdaleHHR

I like this much better than the current Cobalt Could a wagon version of this be the next HHR?!?

IF GM decides to build a second generation HHR, this is what it will be based on. We can only hope it would be built in Lordstown also, but can't see them bringing assembly from mexico to the U.S. Looks like a 1.4 L turbo ecotec is planned for the cruze here: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/14/c...er-and-40-mpg/

I have heard the same thing, the next HHR would be on the same platform as the Cruze.

Cool looking car, It should sell real well with the young crowd.

DreamHHR

For Europe: 1.6 l @ 112 hp; 1.8 l @ 140 hp & a 2.0 l TD @ 150 hp.

The 1.8 l is already in NA (Saturn Astra), so it's a safe bet to assume that it would be the main engine offered here.
