I like it. I especially love the stereo/storage idea.

Montreal 2011: Chevrolet Orlando gives a good first impression

Feature: 2011 Montreal International Auto Show

I think it would do well here in the States. Looks roomier than the HHR, but about the same overall size.

 

It's actually bigger than the HHR. I just wish they would have stayed with the concept front end.

 

Just another minivan

 

Minivans have sliding doors, this is a mini-CUV (small, car-based utility vehicle). A CCUV or Compact Crossover Utility Vehicle, if we simply must categorize it.

 

HHRmmmmmmm.......

They're going to sell it in Canada, but not the U.S.?
That seems odd to me. Certainly Chevy needs something to sell in the small CUV range, particularly with the HHR going away. Seems to be just the right size, adding 4WD would be a big plus for me.

 

The HHR is basically the reason the Cruze is not coming here yet. Once the HHR's popularity wanes, the boring-mobile will be imported from Canada.

 

I remember seeing that at the GM Proving grounds back in August...cool!

 

Huh?
The Cruze is already here dude.....

 

I was heading south on 75 to Detroit today, and passed a truck heading north with 4 or 5 Orlando's on the back of it, each one in the zebra striped cover. Pretty cool to see!

 

May have whistle and bells but the style does not impress me but that's just my opinion. I guess I'm stuck on the HHR look.
