Chevrolet Orlando unveiled in Paris, not coming to U.S.

Next to the Cruze and the Camaro, Chevrolet will show the new Orlando concept which it says is a ‘clear indication that Chevrolet is considering an expansion to its portfolio with a seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle with a distinctive SUV design.’

According to recent reports, Chevrolet has already killed plans to offer a production version of the Orlando in the U.S. Whether they’ll change their minds and eventually do it - only GM knows.

Power for the 5-door Orlando comes from a 2.0L turbo diesel engine that makes 150-hp and 236 lb-ft. The Orlando will enter production some time late next year.

Ouch, I guess the guys who designed the Aztec didn't get laid off after all.

If they were laid off along with the rest of GM's designers, GM would've been in a good standing by now.

But I'm glad we're not getting another, lost in translation, station wagon who's trying to be a minivan, or vice versa.

Designer Lyall was making a joke in reference to Orlando Bloom and the Chevy Orlando. And US of A is also short for United states of America. Man lighten off the sauce so early in the morning.
