Chevrolet began deliveries of its [Captiva](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/chevrolet captiva) fleet vehicle last week. The compact crossover is imported from Mexico and bears a striking resemblance to the recently deceased [Saturn Vue](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/saturn vue). Don’t think we’re about to see the vehicle show up in the company’s consumer lineup, however. [General Motors](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general motors) says that the Captiva will remain a fleet-only offering in the near future. That doesn’t mean that GM isn’t keen to grow its compact crossover offerings, though. Automotive News reports that GM is currently mulling a high-riding vehicle based on the Sonic for both Chevrolet and Buick.
Earlier this year, our spy photographers spotted a high-riding Sonic out testing, and the AN report suggests that the baby Buick crossover could arrive on showroom floors sometime next year, possibly as a 2013 model. The only question is whether or not Chevrolet will follow suit with a version of its own. That would leave the Chevy lineup with the Traverse, Equinox and this new model for a very crossover-heavy lineup. GM is apparently considering every angle at this point.(http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/20/u-s-chevy-captiva-deliveries-begin-as-gm-mulls-sonic-based-cuv/) originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:32:00 EST.
