And oddly end they were both Chevys.
1st car, no SR20, was a Chevrolet Orlando. Built in South Korea, available with a manual and AWD, but it's a crossover. Sold in Canada. Why doesn't Chevy sell that in the USA again?

2nd car was a second gen Chevrolet LUV diesel. Freaking awesome, but a backwards flatbill bro was driving it oddly enough.

Selling an Orlando in a country that sees Orlando as an old folks home might not work. We Canadian's see it as DisneyWorld!

Americans see Orlando as strictly Disney world too!

There's a Chevy Captiva near Hershey, Pa. The driver is some angry, loony old bat. She's run stop signs more than once that I've been close enough to notice. She will flick you off for no apparent raisin.

Are you saying Orlando drivers would be like this?

No. Just a stream of consciousness rant on my part.

Not saying they WOULDN'T be like that, though.

The Orlando is fwd only, and it's pretty much crap. cheap interior, weirdly placed A-pillar (I banged my head in it every single time I had to drive one) and the manual is not that great... long throw and mushy clutch. You are not missing much, believe me.

On wiki it says AWD. Oh well. I'm sure it would sell here still!

I had to double-check, but yup, FWD only.

it is based on the delta II platform (same as the Cruze and the Verano), I think the architecture is not possible to switch to 4WD.

If you wanna try an orlando, come in canada, rental companies stockpiled them. You will be able to experience the ''american-made'' vehicule (assembled in Korea) for yourself ;)
