But seriously, that GLB 35 AMG? I’m all about that.

As much as I liked the Orlando on paper, anyone who bought one over a Rondo, which was basically the same exact car (three row compact MPV, Korean, manual) should probably be put in a mental institution. It is quite sad how the Prius V is all that’s left of the mini-MPV class in Canada, and that doesn’t look too long for the world either.

RIP the B-Class, 5, Rondo, C-Max, and Orlando.

You say that as the GLB brings back hope the same way wagons have come back: by being horribly expensive.

yeah, it’s kind of the Mazda5 Speed that never really materialized

Transit Connect with three rows is not a thing in Canada?

It is, I think.

Very expensive. Starts at $30k CDN goes as high as $42k fully loaded, it’s not very popular.

Orlando must be bad as Holden never imported them here

Interesting. The Canadian and Oz dollar is nearly at parity...and I wouldn't regard that as expensive in the Oz context.

Even when I see these in Canada I feel like they’re something we don’t get here. Like I know they sold them here but every time I see  one it registers in my mind as something exotic

Canadians love cheap minivans. Dodge Caravan starts at $20k, the others listed on the comments Mazda 5, Kia Rondo, Chevy Orlando were about the same price before they were discontinued.

Which might suggest why the remainder were discontinued!!!
