Nice! Although I think I see a tiny bit of Aztek in the rear...

Kennyboy · 09-09-2008, 05:30 PM

Nice car. Hopefully a replacement for the HHR, which is getting long in the tooth.

Zbad1 · 09-09-2008, 05:40 PM

3 rows, 7 seats, 4 cyl with available DI Turbo?

SOLD!

My wife will need a kid hauler like this right about then.

GMusa · 09-09-2008, 05:49 PM

Chevy does not need another 7+ seat crossover in the States, we have the Traverse and the new upcoming Equinox.. I say take out the 3rd row for the States and call it the new HHR!!! Oh and add an AWD option!

ohmywrd8 · 09-09-2008, 05:53 PM

It's attractive enough however, I think it will have the success of the Mazda 5.

Astra RL · 09-09-2008, 05:56 PM

This hopefully means that GM is trying to at least stay with the curve rather than follow it.

mjd1001 · 09-09-2008, 06:13 PM

I was a little torn when I first saw this...but after looking at it a few times and reading the release, I like it. Something we would consider buying when it comes out (of course, hopefully with it not straying TOO far from the concept.)

If it is going to truly be a 7 seater, I would make one request for gm to STRONGLY consider....make sure the rear seat can actually come out, not just fold down. A 7 seater with a rear seat that can come out makes for a really nice combo minivan/useful ute.

FBODYRULES · 09-09-2008, 06:42 PM

I like it!!! it will do well. GM is on a roll with such nice products on the way etc!

FenwickHockey65 · 09-09-2008, 07:13 PM

Awesome!

Give it a good name (hint hint...Orlando is NOT a good name...

), give it a good engine, throw in good fuel economy, and we'll have one in our garage.

GM-Joe · 09-09-2008, 07:56 PM

Excellent, a family hauler that should finally be reasonably sized, reasonably priced, and cheap to own; decent looking too.

DirtyMoney · 09-09-2008, 08:12 PM

GM Needs a new euro hauler.

91 s-10baja · 09-09-2008, 08:36 PM

I see a slight resemblence to the terracross, anyone?

63GrandSport001 · 09-09-2008, 09:19 PM

I so hope that they dont turn this into a 7 seat crossover, it needs to be small and get great mileage I mean they have more then enough SUV and SUV like vehicles.

jbartley · 09-09-2008, 09:49 PM

with a wheelbase around 108, then it's a slightly bigger HHR. I'm sure the 3rd row will be optional in the US. Perfect.

Especially considering the Equinox is getting bigger to take over the trailblazer crowd.

Dennis214 · 09-09-2008, 09:53 PM

Been there, Done That.

Looks just like to o-so-successful Isuzu Axiom. That had a DI engine too.

Oh well.
