Chevrolet Orlando seven-seat vehicle

[polarbear]

It will be built at several locations around the world, including in Lordstown, Ohio, beginning in April 2010.

The Orlando will use a latest-generation 2.0-liter turbodiesel for 150 horsepower.

Whoa looks cool. Ironic that this thread should have a Ford Flex advertisement between the first and second posts...

150HP? Fords new ecoboost 2.5L makes in the upper 200HP range, and the Ecoboost 3.5L makes around 360... lol

My guess is, in this market, the MPG trumps the HP. Interesting vehicle- this is one Chevy kept completely under wraps.

It looks nice, but kinda small for 7 people.

looks neat... just too small.

I know MPG's are important - but I guess I'm just not part of that market niche.

Wonder if it'll have the "Tony" trim level??


Maybe a "Dawn" package???


I guess as a gift, you could "tie a yellow ribbon" around it.



Try the prime rib, folks......I'll be here all week.

This should be slightly larger than a current Chevy HHR, since it's on the Cruze platform, which is the Cobalt's replacement. It'll put us at three different sizes of crossover SUV's though, which seems to be where the market is going.

Well weve always had 3 (or more) sizes of SUVs, so this seems logical.
