Thank you for posting this nsap!!

Have you heard anything about any RWD vehicles for Chevy or Buick?

Glad to see an MPV/Orlando vehicle is still coming to the US. I think this would be my ideal family vehicle. If it can seat 5 easily and 7 in a pinch and still get as good or better mileage than current mid-size cars it will be perfect for me. I assume it will use the same 1.4L turbo that the Cruze will use?
The concept uses a 2.0L diesel. The 1.4T won't have the gusto to move the Orlando with 7 people on board. I'd expect to see the 2.3L Ecotec as the engine of choice for the USDM.
