I went to a dealership the other day to look at one of these. I liked what
I saw but I could have liked it more if there was no chrome plastic
incorporated into it, as I saw with the cup holder. I also didn't care for
the hard material used with the dashboard. At 6'2" I didn't care much for
the way the seat held my bod and the look out the front window seemed kind
of weird, too. On top of those things, the dealership had a very fat price
tag on it. Nice vehicle but chrome plastic is a deal break
I've been following the auto industry VERY closely for the past 15 years
and yes most if not all the new cars in the pipeline are as a result of
Waggoner and Bob Lutz. They were the driving force. All these vehicles were
conceived before Obama was elected. If GM does make a comeback, the MSM
will try to make it seem like Obama had something to do with it. Just wait
and see. The Obama Administration has a "car czar" who had absolutely NO
experience in the car business at any level. Check it out.
If all the big automakers are "douches" as you state, why didn't you say
that. Why just pick on GM? The EV1 was an "experimental" car that was
exempt from DOT crash test for a period of time. So GM HAD to recall the
leased cars. Battery technology wasn't advanced enough at the time for the
car. They would have needed to charge over $85,000 per car to make a profit
on the EV1 back in the 1980's. AGW is a fraud in case you haven't been
paying attention to the news. It's been cooling since 2001.
no, the fox news you are watching is the fraud. and the planet hasn't been
cooling since 2001. it's record high year after year. if the news in in
agreement that global warming is a fraud, don't you think they would be a
tad critical of the meeting in copenhagen etc. try watching something other
than fox news. and the EV1 is not from the 80s, it was made in 96-99. and
wouldn't cost 85k$ and battery tech was fine. they loved them so much they
made a movie about it. and changed the world
The irony about the whole thing with GM is that the Obama Administration
fired the guy who was most responsible for putting GM in the right
direction. The problem is we had an economic meltdown before they could get
to their goal. Rick Waggoner was a great CEO and Obama essentially fired
him. He was responsible for Cadillac CTS, GMC Terrain, new Camaro, the Volt
and many other great new cars. He fought the battle to put them into
production. What a disgrace Obama is.
So GM is destroying the world, but Honda, Toyota, BMW, etc isn't?
Antropogenic Global Warming is a fraud. Haven't you been paying attention
to the latest stories. AGW is Junk Science. Were you born that stupid or
did you have to study to get that way. If GM killed the Electric Car why
didn't Toyota pick it up? The EV1 was DOA. The government wouldn't allow it
to go into production because it couldn't pass the crash test require by
DOT. You are an idiot.
I've studied all my 34 year old life to reach this level of stupidity. and
all big automakers are douches. Nissan may have had a minor change of
heart. global warming is still mounting and it's still manmade. question
is, as it becomes clear to even you over the years, will you remember what
you said? will you realize that you were the idiot. or will you stay this
crazed and not even be able to realize your mistakes and just go on making
new ones
okay i'm not too familiar with all the "behind the scenes" things in this
particular case, i totally respect your opinion and i appreciate the
information, anyways, i just want to see GM getting back on top and once
more being the successful proud company that it deserves to be, i don't
want to blame nor praise particular persons it is just important to me that
in a joint effort GM can be brought up again.
Great on paper. A few problems. 1. Any off road capability? Haven't seen
any demonstrated. 2. Long-term review sources suggest the fuel economy is
hugely overrated. 3. The fuel economy relies heavily on aerodynamics -
which could be drastically changed with towing, roof rack storage,
additional accessories, or more utilitarian tires. 4. Which means this is a
relatively efficient, small minivan.
This is NOT a luxury car - it is GM's low end SUV - they start at $24,000 -
but you'll not find one under $35,000!!! Their luxury SUV is the Denali!!
And good luck in finding one - of 4 GM or Chevrolet dealers in the Atlanta
area - there is a grand total of ZERO - NONE Atlanta!!! But if you pay for
it NOW - in CASH - you can get one in 2 to 4 months!!!!! Now you know why
GM went bankrupt!!!!!!
I want to like domestic cars, I really do. They just aren't selling what I
think makes sense. This has alot of potential. I don't know if I'm going to
bet on the final MPG being 32, but I'm sure it will be close to it. The
interior is a leeeeaap for GM. Reminds me of a knight rider style. At least
its modern and looks usefull. Time will.
well, that information is new to me and i've never heard that before, i see
that you obviously didn't vote for obama :D well that is okay, but i'm not
so sure whether you can link all of these new models directly to waggoner,
time will tell if it was a mistake to make him go, and thus far it doesn't
look like it was one. greetings
im sorry but this has all design cues of the toyota sienna with the rear
lights that are integrated with the back window, the unified rear glass
look of the toyota sequoia, and also the sequoia's steeply forward-raked
side pillars, and the ''snout'' shape of all the new hondas... :( cmon
designers...
GM why are you pushing these cars so hard when you know they are heating
the planet and coastal cities will be flooded by the melting of the world's
ice storages? it's been known for 30 years. you got caught killing the
electric car. must you be destroyed before you learn to do the right thing?
IMO the terrain is definitely equipped to do major damage to it's segment
competitors and cash in big chips for GM, i'm really surprised about how
quickly GM seems to be getting in the right gear finally again. i've always
liked GM cars and i wish them much success. greets from germany.
I very nice design except look at those wheel blisters, they are just
asking for door dingers to dent them. Come on guys wake up, door dingers
are the scourge of new car buyers, help us out add some protection!
GM had a crap load of cars on the lot before they went bankrupt....they did
cash for clunkers to help sell them....GM went bankrupt from the
competition....your info is wrong...they are not high demand
Looks awesome. I was very surprised by the interior...very well done. Didnt
like the fenders and backlights much though. But still has one of the best
SUV looks out there.
GMC is GM's commercial/working truck division, its making much more profit
than does Pontiac, mainly from selling commercial viehcles (ie. for
construction companies)
looks really nice. Looks like an Acadia and Envoy mushed together. I would
definetly take this over any other mid-size SUV, even STANDARD navigation
screen!
Same with me here. I think its a good idea to use YouTube to reach
customers and showcase their vehicles If they want to upgrade their image
in the future.
