Wondering what your take is on the new Orlando? We are likely gonna sell the SS and we may look at an Orlando when they are released. Not as fun to drive, but when you have two small kids, more space is more important right now. Besides I still drive the 95 Impala SS everyday anyways.

 

I think the Orlando fell off of our radar here in the US after GM announced it would be Canada and Europe only. It seems they are afraid it would eat into Equinox,Traverse, and Malibu sales. We'll depend on our Canadian neighbors to let us know what we're missing until and if GM changes their mind.

 

It looks like he is from Canada 843.

 

If they had of kept it closer to the concept, I was considering one when the wife's MPV was due to be replaced. But they watered it down too much IMO and not even offering it in the US, yet.

 

If you really wanted, couldn't an American go buy one in Canada still?

 

Maybe yes and maybe no on the importing of an Orlando. It depends on whether GM equips them with federal emissions controls and the other goodies that the EPA requires here. There was a booming business importing Canadian cars into New York when their state emissions tightened up with a resulting increase in price. That went on for a year or so before the government put the brakes on and outlawed personal imports of Canadian market cars into New York. So if you really want an Orlando it would depend on politics, importing regulations, and your desire to overcome the regulatory obstacles. Something tells me that not many people are that curious or ambitious.

 

Well I mean I know you can bring a car over, because when my dad was looking at a Tahoe we looked at one that had all the temp gauges in Celsius because it was brought over from Ontario. I wasn't sure if you can only do that with used cars though, or what. I know there's a lady in town that drives a Pontiac Pursuit (4 door G5) that was only available in Canada

 

I married one it just had to go thru customs before licensing That might be a bit much to go thru to get a car but she does have a sister still up there PM me for pics Ha Ha

 

Trading an HHR SS for a minivan is sacrilege. Don't do it. The SS has plenty of space.
