I like it a lot...much improved over the 3rd gen, IMHO...the grille and headlights are nicely evolved from the 2nd gen. (the headlights were my least favorite styling detail of the 3rd gen). The exterior is nice and clean, looking forward to seeing how it looks in a dark color, though. The taillights are a departure from previous vertical designs, but clean. I see a bit of ML in the C-pillar (family resembalance?). I really like the interior...looks much improved over the cheap 3rd gen interior, looks like a great place to spend time. Looking forward to seeing it in person.... This could make a nice replacement for my 2nd gen GC...could be an ideal commuter car for me when I'm back full time in the Denver area. QuadraLift and QuadraDriveII sound very interesting...

Not sure on the year, but it didn't have the catwalk grilles I've seen on pics of '41 110s. I think I heard someone there refer to it as a Darrin (note the cut down doors). There wasn't a placard. Further research turned up a pic of a '42 180 Darrin that looks like it (horizontal grilles above the bumper on each side).

So who was the last car maker to go through bankruptcy?

Maybe this will be Pontiac's new niche model.

Might want to look online for a diagram of how the dash goes together... I found an exploded diagram of how the passenger door panel on my Jeep went together, when I took it off to replace the side mirror.

The problem I have with Raisin Bran is they get soggy too fast. I pretty much stick with Honey Nut Cheerios when I have breakfast cereal..

Doesn't Idaho have a big Potato lobby? They probably contributed to his campaign, along with Monsanto (very evil and powerful company from what I've heard).

Probably totally different in assembly, but I once pried off the dash trim of a Corsica and took apart the center vents and put them back together (some slats had fallen loose) with only a pocket knife with no damage.

This triggered a memory of something I saw a few weeks ago..a clean '77 Electrasabre.... it was an Electra w/ a LeSabre front end of the same year..very clean, pale yellow w/ white interior.

Yeah, the Terrain grille is taller than the Yukon grille and looks like it might be taller than even the Sierra HD grille (which is a very handsome truck, IMHO).

Yeah, I read it (online) occasionally, but the San Jose Mercury News (online) is the better paper IMHO, and has a strong focus on the tech industry in the Silicon Valley, which is why I read some articles on it pretty much daily.

While driving home tonite, I saw a car in my rearview mirror that I realized resembles the Terrain--except for the grille detail, the front end shape--lighting, fascia, etc of the Mercury Mariner is quite similar, albeit 'softer' and probably smaller.

Those are hiliarious!!

Speaking of Packards, I saw this one up close yesterday at the Copperstate 1000 kickoff...beautiful car.

The SMART is RWD, and rear engined! Just like a 911! Sort of.

There is a significant difference between being patriotic and ranting like a delusional paranoid or a late night talk radio loony.

I'd recommend a HAZMAT suit..

Maybe..here is the Pininfarina BO, the 'Bluecar' electric car he was rhapsodizing about toward the end of the article: Bluecar

I read it yesterday...he probably worships the Prius.

As far as styling goes, I think my favorite current GMC SUV/CUV is the Acadia--I like the headlights and smallish grille, and the profile and detailing.

This was one of the points addressed on the video..designer said the wheels/tires are 'tucked in' for aerodynamics..i.e. fuel efficiency.

I stick w/ Chevron and Shell...because they are the closest to home and the office.

The area around the foglights remind me of an exaggerated version of the foglight area on the GLK that I find so strange...reminds me of the tinfoil helmet of Professor Chaos on 'South Park'...

One of the guys in the video said something about the interior being 'mostly unique'. This grille shape reminds me of the Audi shield grille shape. I think one aspect of the front I really don't like, more than the grille, is how tall and blunt it is--the height of the front end from the base of the airdam to the hood seems very tall and flat. Without measuring with a tape measure, the front vertically seems about 50% taller than some older SUVs of a similar size.

68 needs this: AFDB!
