Hi `Brittany,
I thought I was up on GM concepts & cars, but this is the first time I seen this one. Like some of the features & interior. I think it would make a SuperBeachSurf'in Cruiser
Thanks 4 posting/sharing 4-Sure.

I don't like the new way that under the hood is turning into just a solid plastic cover.

What happened to wanting to see the chrome valve covers, big air filters, everything?

That's turning into "old school" I think. With less and less people wrenching on their own cars. People just don't see the beauty in seeing the engine. They want a clean looking engine bay.

The mechanicals are being looked at as being ugly by more and more people. Too bad.

The exterior of that Chevy Orlando kinda looks like the Pontiac Aztec with a Chevy grill.

i have to agree with Taz. People dont work on cars like they used to. Its gotten to complicated. Too computerized.

Also, If you were to look at a lot of the HIGH END hotrods, they have been hiding the motors in the same manor. Put a large engine bay cover and call it a day.

As far as the design, i love it. Space was right by saying that it would make a great board carrying, beach combing little wagon. Now dress it up like a woody, and i think it would dell great.

JMHO

Good, the fewer minivans/SUVs/crossovers I have to see on the road the better.

AMEN to that!

I've always said:

There are too many "Cubes" driving around - we really don't need another one. The only boxy car I would support is the Mini Cooper and the Clubman. They have as a concept a Mini SUV and it's the dumbest thing and I hope they don't build it!

I kinda like it but it would be watered down and gay before it went to market. Not something I would ever buy anyways

i agree with blacksheep where is the engine. i rather see an engine than a engine cover covering every thing. on top of that how can you check the fluids when filling up. expecially where is the resivior for the brakes what if you are running low an brake fluid and need to add more. what about the dip sticks for the oil and trans fluids it is asking for a engine and a accedent falure.
