Wish I could see it, stupid company is blocking the site. Can anyone post a pic?

Sorry but some woman should never be allowed to drive nice rides.

Very cool Balth, thanks for posting them.

Wow talk about a crap shoot. Roll the dice please.

Cool looking, probably end up in the next fast and furious movie. Are we sure it is nitrous and not dry ice or some other type of gas?

This is the new Gov Drug policy, keep em focus in their induced haze on building nothing. Talk about a sad end to a car.

WOW, All that for a car. Cool car but still a car. Makes you wonder if he had a customer out of country willing to pay top dollars for it to go into a collection or just the wrong pick of a car to steal.

Why do I see this as the GOV wasting money there to try and save union jobs on a dead product line. Electrical plug in SAAB will not save this company. I guess they feel with the down eruo economy, it was probably pennies on the dollar to pick up the pieces and give it a try. At least then when it fails they can say we tried one last time. I truly believe CNG is a better focus than Electrical at this time.

Great Review, sad that they cut corners with the engine and mileage.

Our famous and missing friend, PCS/Oracle of Delphi, stated long ago that the Theta platform was quite capable of handling off-road duty if the suspension was set-up correctly. The current set-up of the Terrain and Equinox is for on-road performance - aka "inclement weather" driving and light all-terrain duty. However, if a modest suspension lift can be installed, with meatier tires, an All-Terrain limited edition (not an Off-Road model) could be brought to market to capture an audience attune to such a vehicle. Jeep does this with the Compass (on-road) and Patriot (all-terrain) models, though we all know that with a little extra tuning the Patriot can be an off-road warrior too. My biggest peeve with the Terrain is that for a SUV-wannabe CUV with truck-like styling, it sits way too low to the ground. That would be okay if it was the FWD that sat this low, but I feel the AWD version should have some lift to it and extra ground clearance. My mom's '05 Saturn VUE V6 AWD (and the Gen1 Equinox & Pontiac Torrent too) sits higher off the ground than the current Theta's do. I agree that the Terrain should and could have a proper lift in AWD form and be a competition to the Compass/Patriot. GM should consider a limited version like this. I think they could get a nice profit on a built unit like this.

Let your own mind do the walking.

I agree that it looks like a good part car for E-Bay or would be a beauty restoration for a full size convertible if you had the time and money.

Impressive comparo, but I disagree with their end result. I would have had the Cruze first, then TDI and Mazda 3rd based on their own testing methods.

But a Sleeper entry level car with true Power would bring fresh blood into the fold!

You summed it up with HONEYCAKE! Sweet it is NOT! My son's friend has a FIT, loves the versitility of the inside, but has come to dislike the interior after seeing what other bought, but says it will outlast everyone cause it is a Honda. I told her that she drank a bit to deep from the CoolAid. She needs to release the cup and back off.

I totally agree that the V8's can and will surpass the TT-V6 models when sold. The efficiency of a V8 can truly be optimized with better return on the dollars than a TT-V6

Still like the Idea of a Black Ice Edition. GMC is missing out on a limited performance version of the Terrain IMHO.

Low Rider Volvo? That is like taking a Ferrari or Lambo and putting a lift kit on it.

Triple Cheers for a sweet full size Coupe!!!

Hyper and Olds you both make valid points and I hope the quality plus fit and finish stay for the long haul as the profits go up. I hope they all remember the history of what happens when you build a crappy car.

Love those cars Balth

I agree with the number Jockies, the GTR should have been a exclusive model to Infinitiy. Would have given it much better street cred.

I would agree with you that if they do not do a limited version like I stated, a OffRoad AWD version as you state would be a Killer Production version for GMC. This would bring in the Jeep Crowd. 3-5 inch lift with big tires, take the crawl ratios from the H3 Hummer and give it some off-road manners. The body style already is tough enough to handle an Off Road version.

Too Funny, Humanity must be the problem, lets all kill ourselves and Mother Earth will be saved. Yea, I thought this study and finding was crock, hell I grew up riding in the back of Pickup Trucks holding onto the dog and drinking out of cups that had Lead paint on them and do not forget our awesome old station wagons that as kids we played in the back with toy's not in a car seat or held by a seatbelt. Everything can kill ya, I doubt this will do it any faster.

They could be expecting more lease it, trash it and return it drivers.
