looks sharp, would refer a plugin hybrid though, or just a v6. that said it should fit into the electric market well. hope it doesn't have the issues the new Mach E has!

I will say this, I find the current X1 and X3 to be pretty comfortable.

lets wait till the interior specs and dimensions come out bro current X1 is pretty spacious as well. shoulder room and hip room always tell the tale. Something the equinox doesn't have a bunch of.

WHEELBASE LESS THAN 1.5" DIFFERENCE. TRACK/WIDTH THE SAME. HEIGHT ABOUT AN INCH DIFFERENCE. SOME EXTRA LENGTH BUT ITS AFT OF THE WHEELBASE. THE BMW IS HEAVIER...... UM, THESE ARE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE SAME SIZE.

At one time they said they would bring back a 2.0 but the new LSY 2.0. and then they canned that.

Yes, i was thinking the same thing. the first one, and your reasons, i agree completely.

I dunno, 40k seems to be the new price of entry these days. At least you get decent hp and torque with this thing for your money. I wish the Equinox (same size) had this much power.

Managed to spontaneously get an oil change slot at the dealer I got my car from yesterday. It's about an hour trip but it was good to get it on the highway and break it in some more. Just crossed 23,000 miles. They claim they washed my car so I figured time to get photos again. Sorry I take so many photos....just trying to get the shots that turn out the best....they aren't too different. lol

My mom's DTS trunk will haul a lot more stuff in it than a 'trunk' of a crossover......wider, deeper, sometimes taller than the "level we would stack stuff either due to the slope of the hatch or wanting to see through the rear window". It's actually rather comical how small some CUV cargo areas are unless you fold the seats and actually stack stuff up to the roof. Even then the cargo floor of some CUV's is so high that some sedan trunks are taller inside than CUV trunks from floor to ceiling.

funny how Audi, Merc etc will still have their sedans and charge the snot of them $$$$ that VW Arteon just got interesting with 295hp and DCT. But read elsewhere where the low Arteon sales were partially due to none being available. Yes, they are too pricey also. Why get a VW when its priced in Audi territory.

K5 seems to sell well around here. Or maybe its just that its available and they're making them.

COINCIDENTAL. I was with my wife in our TourX and we spotted a red one in this very color making a turn at our intersection. To see two TourX in the wild in the same spot at the same time, quite rare. That's 'Roja Red'. At the time I got mine, I wasn't jamming on this color but now I like it more. Maybe because it was too close to the maroon on my Malibu I was getting out of at the time.

nope, AWD is required for me in the snow state for a year round car as opposed to RWD only, like thousands of other buyers.

I really now wish GM / Buick had built the Avista. Would be a nice option vs the nice Camaro but with a little sleeker style and probably a nicer interior. I wish the Camaro had the 3.6 twin turbo v6 w AWD as an option. The Avista would have been the perfect vessel for that sort of powertrain as a unique offering.

i kind of get the best of both worlds now. I can drive my TourX and sit Low. And then I can also drive the Pacfica and its so easy to slide in and out and the seat is wayyyyyyy more comfy. Ingress and Egress is perfect height. Actually, with the 20's on the Pacifica, it has pretty good steering feel for a utility type vehicle. Actually I've been so detached from the real market and so many offerings are blending together.....what actually are the decent CUV's that drive well, have power, (and aren't lux category pricing). I mean, the list is gotta be pretty small.

Let me follow up by admitting, I am finding new urges to maybe get into a SUV / Crossover / truck; something higher riding...... there, i said it.......

Finally swapped the winters back to the spring / summers today. 5 1/2 months on the winters. 2,763 miles put on in 5 1/2 months. I'm driving more now again but also with my wife full time remote I trade off between the two vehicles. Sort of makes me wonder if we need to have two vehicles anymore. But when I am gone she would still need something to drive. I'll probably put about 5,000 miles on in the next 6 months I estimate. Sure beats driving 25,000 miles a year like I did 7-9 years ago.

I'd have no problem leasing a 2.7t or owning one but I would use a truck as a sedan or crossover replacement and wouldn't haul or tow much with it. If I were buying a Chevy with a v8 I'd probably skip the 5.3 anyways and go straight to the 6.2. Don't many of the GM v8 engines have frequent issues with AFM and other maladies that cause them to be in the shop a lot? Seems like the Chevy v8 truck engines right now are not considered reliable, at least from what I read (I know also there are the tranny issues). From what I read, the Chevy v8's already have a bad rep. FWIW I haven't seen many issues on the 2.7t to date since it was released.

I was sort of referring more to the rounded shape of the Aurora, and the clean styling. GM needs to bring back a few elegant cars like that. As for the CT6, I did look at a couple before.....a bit above my pay grade right now. Maybe in a few years if there are any nice low mile CT6 with the 10 speed auto I might look at one again actually.

ah, GM, we need something like this back...... although how would this translate to a longer greenhouse and possibly a hatch,

The overall point, and that to which I can connect some dots to your comment is, for EV's to make bigger dents in the market (at least from GM's perspective) is that for mass adoption (which is apparently supposed to be the point with EV's for some) is that the vehicles need to become replacements in SIZE and function for other volume and value segments of the population. GM can't limit their attention to small cars like the Volt, Equinox, Bolt. The Silverado EV is a good step to provide a useful larger vehicle for adoption to the masses. Why GM would expect to have volume impact in the market with a smaller than heck Volt and Bolt is beyond me but really exposes that they didn't want to get mass adoption with those products. They wanted to limit 'numbers sold' with the new technology in case there were flaws (fires). The Volt system should have been used in a Malibu or Impala sized car, and also an SUV at the time. I think there would have been a helluva lot more interest in the Bolt if it weren't Lilliput in size. All this talk and bullshit from car companies and pushing these EV concepts and yet how many of these are queued up for release to battle volume segments for people like David and other average customers that need some size and space in their vehicles? You won't get mass adoption until you get functional replacements, and at a similar cost to current market top sellers. That said, for the compact class, which does sell in volume, this will be a good entry I think. Now, where is the Traverse EV? We're 25 years post EV1 and not really much farther along in that period of time......

lack of girth is the current Equinox' problem, about 2" extra of hip and shoulder room would go a long way towards feeling more spacious. Gotta say that dash design looks interesting and promising, wish they would redesign the current Blazer dashboard to that.

again, will this be smaller inside than the current equinox? better not be. It should made larger inside than the current equinox. i'm going to guess gm will make it smaller inside.
