Chevy version of the Outlook?

[robertburns3]

Are you guys hearing that there will be a Chevy version of the Outlook? If so, I may be interested because I am assuming it will be cheaper, having less content, which is more my style. I am thinking GM will add a version to replace the recently cancelled lambda mini van project. (Just hope it looks a lot different from the Outlook)

Love the Outlook. I am sure its a good deal for what you get, just don't want to pay $27,000 plus for it.

According to Motor Trend, there will be a Chevy version of the Lambda.

I'd rather see Chevy get a mini-van. I think it was a mistake for GM to give one to both Saturn, and GMC. Technically they are serving the same area of the GM hierachy, but one is car based, and one is truck based.

Killing the GMT-360s I don't agree with either. Chevy, Saturn, and Buick should get the Lambdas, and the next gen GMT-360 should have gone to GMC, and Chevy, and possibly SAAB.

GMC, and Saturn getting the same thing is too much overlap. I just hope to gawd Pontiac doesn't get one. I love Pontiacs, but they have no business with an SUV.

GM is getting much better at not re-badging, but using the same platforms for very differentiated vehicles, but they are still canabalizing themselves. They compete with themselves far too often. There is obviously going to be overlap, but the difference in the Acadia, and Outlook is your taste of interior layout, and grille, and headlight treatment. I'd prefer the Acadia myself.

Pontiac isn't getting Lambda and the Torrent is expected to switch over to GMC after the present version runs its course.

As far as a Chevy version of Outlook, it won't be available before MY 2009.

I know, that's the plan, but plans sometimes change. I poke around GMI too, but not as much as here. There's too much goin' on there.
