"Orlando" means "Disney" which is of course a uniquely American thang and might promote a positive image for the model in export markets.
Nevertheless, I think it's sharp-looking and has enough "Groove" styling cues to satisfy me. This, the similarly-styled Gamma crossover, the Cruze, the next Aveo and the Beat will give GM a very strong core lineup for global markets.
I'm glad to see GM finally be taking not just small cars, but cars in general, seriously again. We may have to wait a few years but GM might actually righting its capsizing ship...

Hell, sell it in the US as the Uplander and I'd like that better.
