Lambda, the next big thing.

Lambda, the next big thing.
Lambda's a really big deal...and we hardly ever even mention it around here.
Lambda products could end up picking up where large SUV's, midsized SUV's and minivans ....ummm, just about now...are ready to leave off.
They will be 7 passenger crossovers, with the the room of a large SUV/minivan...but with driving dynamics and gas mileage that are said to be car-like.
They will be available as FWD or AWD and will have available V6's and V8's. As far as V8's....I've heard the 5.3 and Northstar replacement might be available in various versions.
The first ones will be available about this time next year.
Saturn will get the Outlook, GMC gets the Acadia and Buick gets a yet un-named version . At GM's analyst preview afew months ago, all three were on display. They all had their own unique sheetmetal and interiors. Apparently, people were very impressed.
GM predicts that in afew years, crossovers (like Lambda and Theta), will make up 20% of all GM vehicles sold.
Lambda will be a VERY big deal for GM.

Lets not forget spy photos showed up months ago of the saturn sporting 6 lug wheels and what seems to be a lot of room inside.

PS Brandon it don't look like a space ship to me.

Re: Lambda, the next big thing.
They are bad *** and true to the concept. One look at the Chevy Lambda screams "spaceship" to me. Looks very futuristic. Seats 8 people, COMFORTABLY, yet provides car-like fuel economy as you've pointed out Charlie.
I think the Lambda's will be the first "full-mode" hybrid system from GM, and are being set up to adapt to hydrogen in the near future.

Josh you need to start letting others in on your pic sharing parties you seem to have seen the whole 06 show season in October.

Re: Lambda, the next big thing.
I'm not trying to be sued by GM, however they refuse acknowledge we exist due to other sites ruining the party.
No calls or emails from Securitas are wanted, nor warrented. No details will be given or "leaked" in anyway. Don't want to **** the big guys off.
They look futuristic and they look like winners. I've said it for quite sometime, the 2007 MY - 2010 will be historic. It will be the most telling time for General Motors as a company. If the public does not react to these products something is seriously wrong.
Oh, and one other mention. I've not shown any images to anybody. No, sir. Not, I. No "pic sharing parties" were had by myself or any of my staff members on C&G. Hell, they haven't even seen anything.

Re: Lambda, the next big thing.
Believe the Chevy Lambda Josh is referring to is the minivan replacement, which, it was said in an article, would follow a spaceship style design [there will still be more than one minivan variant]. Great to hear what Josh has said about the design--this is the first I've heard someone mention the Chevy Lambda, and Josh has said good things about it--great. I don't expect that one to be shown sometime soon. Ah-ha has said at C&G the Buick Lambda looks a lot like Centieme and Velite, gorgeous concepts imo. HE has also said it is the most distinctive with the Saturn and GMC being very sharp. Reportedly the GMC Acadia [name for the GMC LAmbda] will share a lot with the Graphyte concept. Other insiders have said the best is yet to come, and the Lambda interiors will strongly overshadow the recently released Tahoe interiors.....they said we haven't seen anything yet...
