Having had to clean up the aftermath of explosive diarrhea and vomit from multiple cars, leather gets my vote every time. -
I had cloth a long time ago...'80s Fords. But my more recent vehicles have been leather..leather is so much easier to keep clean...
-
So Cadillac and M-B don't offer cloth interiors in the US? I'm not a fan of cloth interiors, but I know some people like them.
-
Wowza..that is a slick custom. The late 40s GM coupes (before the '48-49 redesigns) were so bloated and humpy, this looks great though..
-
Saw a really clean late 90s final generation Olds 88 in black. Haven't seen one of those in years...
-
That would be socialism!
-
Metric would be something like 250 cubits though. This was inches. Don't always believe Google search results I guess
-
Oddly, the Golf R comes up as 22.8, but the regular Golf and GTI come up as 17.4 when googling...does the R have a smaller backseat or something?
-
Styling?
-
Less rear overhang.

Golf: 17.4 ft³, 53.7 ft³ XT4: 22.3 ft³, 48.9 ft³ With the seat down, the Golf has about 5 more cubic feet of space. With the back seat down, the XT4 has only slightly more space than the Trax! Trax: 18.7 ft³, 48.4 ft³ In comparison, the XT4's GM brand relatives are way more spacious. Equinox: 29.9 ft³, 63.5 ft³ Terrain: 29.6 ft³, 63.3 ft³ So utility was not a priority in the XT4 development, it sounds like...even the larger XT5 isn't that great--- XT5: 30 ft³, 63 ft³ compared to the Acadia: Acadia: 12.8 ft³, 79 ft³ (that seat up figure is odd, 3rd row?)

Way better looking than any current Toyota or Lexus sedan..

Well, he does live in Amish country, maybe the local culture has rubbed off on him...;)
-
ICE and EV are far more complex than the propulsion systems the Amish are used to...they still roll like it's 1699...
-
That looks more like a '74 front end. The '73 had 4 round taillights, the '74 had 2 trapazoidal rounded ones. Here's a '74 in what appears to be the same green.
-
It is smaller, remember, the XT4 is in the Equinox/Terrain compact family, while the Blazer is a midsize like the Acadia and XT5.

Cool...I often saw Uber and others testing such Fusions and Bolts around my office in downtown Scottsdale.

Not an issue for Mall Rated CUVs...though it may drag on curbs. It is funny how low so many CUVs are in the front, though. My sister's Trax had a black rubber air dam thingy under the front fascia, she tore that off shortly after getting it, going in and out of the driveway in Phoenix..
-
Maybe it will be in the next Transformers movie along w/ the updated '19 Camaro..that would be some product placement synergy..
-
I think I don't find any of these appealing given my bias against FWD/transverse engine platforms.. I'll stick w/ JGC.
-
I guess I want to see it in person before I judge the styling very much. Definitely Camaro overtones.
-
The better comparison would be the Blazer and XT5, though. The XT4 lines up with the Equinox in terms of platform and size.

Saw a few clean vintage GMs whilst out and about yesterday. -A '70 Buick Grand Sport in silver w/ black vinyl top -A black '69 Buick LeSabre 4dr ht w/ Buick road wheels -A white '65 Olds 88 2dr ht -A black '66-67 Corvette convertible -A silver blue '77 Pontiac Grand Prix (different car than the one I saw for sale last month). and on the weird end of the spectrum a blacked out '91-92 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon w/ purple headlights and a padded top w/ the big rear side windows covered. I think I've seen this car around before from a distance. As far as other marques, I saw a sharp white '59 Thunderbird convertible (black top up), and saw a clean dark red '82-84ish Lincoln Continental..think it's the same car I saw a couple months ago.
