I was thinking that too. This doesn't seem big enough to be a minivan.

And for the other posts about e-Flex. Get real, GM can't even get their act together to make the Beat available here or to make a 2-mode Lambda so there is no way this will be e-Flex. You're just making too much sense. Back away from the keyboard.

We can dream can't we? It certainly won't be E-Flex right away but perhaps down the road.

This is a much smaller mini-van that what we are used to in the USA but is common in Europe. I suppose it could be a HHR replacement but I would think that a Cruze wagon would be a more likely HHR replacement since that is what it really is currently (Cobalt wagon).

Ah so this is a smaller MPV in the vein of the 5. Chevy should not get this. It should be Saturn's and it should be the Zafira. Maybe make a medium to large minivan for Chevy. And the Outlook and Traverse need to be killed.

I second that!!!

1) What is a LCV? Landing Craft Vehicle?

2) As an Opel/Saturn/Vauxhall this makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Chevy is the division that needs a van, Uplander name can stay IMO.

Looks like a mini-Traverse, but it got the same side mirrors from the Vue.
But overall it looks modern and nice. In Canada (especially in Quebec) those vehicles are very popular. Only Kia and Mazda sell Mini-Minivans so GM needs one.

it looks alot like the next generation Tacuma/Rezzo. Current one is one ugly b@st@rd and it seems this one doesnt really depart from that. I rather them bring the Zafira and sell it as a Saturn.

Hideous isnt it??

Can we change the name once it comes stateside? It might conjure up images of a certain toyota...

They could always call it the "Siemma"

Microvan?

Prius owners can't have children. The world has too many humans, so having kids is a heinous crime against Gaia! Any Prius owner who has young children is a hypocrite!

I had forgotten about these entirely and was thinking the same thing. Hopefully GM is dead serious on making a splash with this van. The competition is even tougher today.

Why? Saturn is where good ideas go to die. Why waste a potential sales hit on a brand that has never found a place? As it is, Saturn as basically become R&D for the new and improved Chevy. Why not skip a step?

Maybe make a medium to large minivan for Chevy.

I agree, but as an addition and only if the Chevy Zafira cousin does well. Make it in the vein of the Zafira, but based on epsilon II.

And the Outlook and Traverse need to be killed.

So they're buyers can bolt for Ford and the imports? No thanks.

I can almost guarantee, the Daewoo name will not carry to this vehicle
