New Production Orlando is shown.

It is toned down from the show concept and a little dull.
It may be a good thing it is not coming to the states. Let hope for something with a little more style and coolness.
I figure few HHR owners would pop for this one.

As we reported earlier and confirmed again today, GM has no plans to offer the Orlando in the United States – a shame, too, since this would indeed be a fitting replacement for the aging, less-attractive Chevrolet HHR.
I guessing that since the Orlando isn't coming to the States, that gives a little reprieve for the HHR and they'll keep producing it for a little longer.

I tempted to write the author of that article.... "...less attractive HHR..." Well, excuse me, but our HHRs don't remind anyone of a Kia Rondo!
It sort of reminds me of the long departed Venture minivan too. Whether that would be a good thing for sales or not; I suspect they wouldn't be.... The Venture I last drove felt seriously old and outdated. I'm sure this isn't, but it may have that perception to some people.

Are you kidding me? This vehicle has very dull styling. A mini-minivan. At least the Mazda5 has some style to it (not that I care for the Mazda5 either). While the HHR may be getting older, its still looks very good. And its definetly better than this Orlando

I suspect since GM pulled the Orlando they have something else in mind. They would not have pulled it unless something else was coming for this niche.

GM needs styling on this that sets them apart and catches peoples attention.
Guys GM watches web sites and this is one they watch. Let them know how you feel and if you would not consider replacing your HHR with one.
