ATS - yeah, I know it will be a while unfortunately. I'm tempted by the CTS SportWagon but the MPG isn't better than my Intrepid, I find the seats uncomfortable and it is really bigger than I need.

Orlando concept looked big in person, bigger than HHR. I was tempted by HHR as I like the size and MPG but it doesn't offer much luxury/tech wise.

Equinox w/2.4 and 32mpg is tempting and has more luxury/tech than HHR though I'd like more (where is Homelink?). Dealer can't keep an LTZ 2.4 in stock long enough for me to test drive.

Cruze - 40mpg is nice but I doubt it will have the luxury/tech I'd want. Maybe we'll see a Buick version of this that might interest me.


The upcoming Delta-II based Buick may be your best bet. It'll most likely be the Opel Astra sedan transplanted to the US...
