Re: Orlando Images leaked ahead of Paris show!

1) The interior is production to me, the exterior still not so. Look at those handles, for example... I also believe it does look a bit different from what we saw shuttling in camo.

2) The rear end is a mess, overall the rear section gives me an Aztek-meets-Ssangyong vibe. I am quite surprised, I was expecting this MPV to be bland but likeable overalll...

3) This IS the HHR replacement, GM shelved plans to start building it in Hamtramck for 2010, not to sell it in the US. As the HHR is a 2006 MY introduction, I'd expect it to run until at least 2012, and I believe only then will Orlando come to the US. That said, I believe it might get imported - from Asia or Mexico.

4) Interior does a good job of coming accross as modern, but the automatic shifter spoils the picture majorly. This is rather surprising, GM makes really nice automatic shifters for other models...

You prefer the Chrysler TC/Dodge Caravan? Oh, ooops, I meant VW Routan? The Orlando is not a minivan so I don't see why you're comparing it to a Chrysler....er, dangit, VW minivan.

haha, i hear you, i hear you. the exterior does look good though.

crossovers, minivans, they're all the same to me. all targeting the same market.
