  1. Well it's exactly what I was expecting. A little late to the game in the large SUV race, now that people are buying them as much any more and opting form smaller cars. At first when you cover the front and rear lights, you see a hint of gmt 900, from the design of the doors, and the side profile. However I dont know what's wrong with it? Would the same negative reaction be if a domestic brand would come out with a truck that looked like this?

    Yes. Its called the Durango.

    You're so full of crap.

  2. So..you gave up on the BMW and now moved on to some other little car? You're really grasping at straws now aren't you :P

    Oh wait, I see the resemblance now...they are both black, have headlights, fog lights, and a grill. Holy $h! Batman! 0|\/|G T3H (0PY(4T$!!!1!11!!!

    I'm saying that you say the 5er is ugly-ish. Fine. But its original and unique. The Aze...er, Genesis is just another poorly-scaled-up version of the contempory generic Asian ideal of a sedan - chrome horizontal slats, bulgy headlamps, rounded vee-ing of the grille. Bland, boring, zzzz.

  3. Its honestly a shame this car isn't sold here. Imagine how much of the low-budget/urban/tuner/small contractor pickup market Chevy would dominate with a Tornado.

    $9,995 gets you the truck. Cranks, manual locks, 5-speed stick, vinyl seats and flooring, AM/FM/CD, and A/C.

    $10,495 gets you a 4-speed automatic.

    $13,995 gets you power windows, locks, and mirrors, carpeting, auto headlamps, etc.

    $16,995 adds more engine power, leatherette seating, alloys, and a bed cover.

    $19,995 gets you a Tornado SS - which sound freakin' sweet - with the 2.0l T/C Ecotec mated to a 5/6-speed auto or 6-speed stick. Lowered ride height, blacked-out trim, dual exhaust, foglamps, 18" aluminum wheels.

    With its light weight, it would make a MINI its bitch and still haul. It would be the fasted run to Home Depot you'd ever make.

  4. It is good that they made a Tahoe that gets 20 mpg, not 16, but it's a lot of money, and will people pay the extra for a vehicle that still sucks gas. Most minivans are 17/24 mpg, and can average 20 mpg. Not everyone tows frequently.

    For those that do need towing, the Mercedes GL320 has 3 rows of seats, tows 7,500 pounds, (1000 more than the Tahoe Hybrid), and gets 18/24 mpg, for $54,000. So there is a more capable off road SUV that tows more, and gets better mileage for nearly the same price. Should the Mercedes be "green" car of the year as well?

    1) Mercedes reliability is garbage.

    2) Plenty of people pay for Tahoe/Yukons in this price range already.

    3) Mercedes doesn't get a tax credit.

    4) Why don't you already own a Mercedes?

  5. GM @ Middle East Intl. Motor Show
    2008 GMC Terrain

    The 2007 Middle East International Motor Show in Dubai played host to its very own “world premiere” by General Motors. The new vehicle is the 2008 GMC Terrain for the Middle East market. Of course, this new compact 4WD is already on sale in Europe as the Opel Antara.

    The softroader is largely based on the Korean-built Chevy Captiva, so we expect similar engine options. It rounds off the GMC line-up perfectly, since the expensive Acadia is too large for most people.
