A few things in my mind
1) Im amazed by the number of styling cues I see in it from other cars. BUT...overall its pretty good looking. The over-flared guards and an 'odd' side profile are the only odditys to me. Spunky interiors in dark colours but Im not sure we're ready for the brighter stuff, or the Astra like treatment (Astra being one of very few cars Ive ever driven I had to pull out a handbook)
2) Fuel...maybe GM have some surprises in store, they need to have some given the unfavourable expectation.
3) Dont treat ppl like they're silly, marketing games with pricing can be a little transparent
4) I hope they're done a ton of work on the lil V6 to haul it, in VZ it was pretty disappointing and in a heavier car well.....
5) It'll still be successful REGARDLESS

GM have it hard, to release a large car now is a tough act....hopefully for Ford the air over fuel clears a bit by the time of Orion
