A 4 year old could paint the outside of a refrigerator box to look better then that!! Big -2 !!!!If GMC ever comes out with a non-rebadged vehicle, give me a call.... And they say the blindspots in the Vibe are bad....

I thought it looked cool until I saw the grille.....Just ruined it for me. As for the rest of the car I think it looks pretty cool.

Agreed that the grille is bad. Like the abortion of a Honda Pilot. Rest of it is fine by me, but looks like an Xb (well, grille aside, better than an Xb).

Reminds of that Kia that the hampsters drive around in. Maybe GMC can use gerbils to market it.

I would buy one provided it got at least 32 mpg and was less than $20k. If not, back to Hyundai / Kia for me.

The Orlando is a 7 passenger vehicle whereas the Granite is a 4 passenger. I hope they tone down the car show glitz and do away with the suede interior, in a good way because WOW, these pictures are not flattering. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/0...t-gra/
