" While General Motors&amp;#039; troubles in its home market are in the news on nearly a daily basis, the company is going like gangbusters in virtually every place else around the globe. For example, while auto sales as a whole have been on the decline for most of the year in the U. K., Chevrolet sales are up 12 percent over last year&amp;#039;s tally \u2014 43 percent for the month of August alone compared to the same month in 2007.   And the new Chevrolet Orlando show car just unveiled at the Paris Motor Show may soon be helping to plump those European sales further. Word around the show floor is that this handsome 7-passenger compact crossover will soon be getting the green light for production, right along with the new Cruze sedan.   The Orlando features the familiar-looking grille from the big-selling Malibu sedan in the U.S., along with 3 rows of theater-style seating. The back two rows fold flat for excellent cargo space. The interior&amp;#039;s materials are quite nice for this price segment, and the cabin looks production-ready \u2014 perhaps another sign that the Orlando may soon appear on European lots.   Power is derived from Chevy&amp;#039;s fuel-sipping 2.0-liter common rail diesel engine that makes 150 bhp and 236 lb.-ft. of torque (no mileage figures were given).   With its chiseled sheetmetal and seating for seven, the Orlando looks like a more muscular and space-efficient version of Scion&amp;#039;s popular xB. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
