This sums it up well.

Hindsight being 20/20, had Orlando been sold in the US it'd probably be more popular than Cruze/Malibu now.

Chinese-market 2nd generation Chevrolet Orlando.

Looks better than the Blazer.

Actually, Blazer makes more sense than Orlando. Blazer sits between Equinox and Traverse and there’s a pretty big price gap between those two to slot into. Orlando fit between the then soon-to-be-introduce Trax and Equinox. Not a lot of price gap between the two for it to slot into. There were also some content issues that I don’t remember well enough to discuss that were problematic for Orlando that would have made it difficult to price it much above Trax.

Thanks for the insight Jim.

The Trax is pretty homely. Could the Orlando be sold here as a step below the Equinox? Does the Trax sell well enough as it stands?

Trax sold 26k units in Q2. Up 42.7%.

It is amazing btw how much nicer the Encore is overall.

Sliding away from the above topic for a second...

Over the Air Updates.

Our 2018 Terrain told my wife yesterday there was a pending download available, and it asked her if she wanted to start the download. She told it no and to postpone for later.

I had no idea GM was doing over the air updates. I don't know how I missed this.

Looked it up, and sure enough...they will do certain software updates over the 4G LTE connection...it even says you can connect to your in-home wifi if you so choose.

So that's cool.

Oh...does anyone know how to find out what the update is for? I tried looking it up on my.gmc.com but I didn't find any information once I logged in.

Agree. The Encore is much better looking.
