The 3.6 fit in the Vue... so the 5.3 should fit.

Found out that the huge raise that was promised to me back in September but never materialized will in fact show up after the first of the year... with retroactive pay back to June. Also getting a $250 Amex gift card for my 5 weeks of 70 hour weeks. I got plenty of overtime for it, but I'll take the extra $250.

I added a few more pics to the 2010 Equinox Gallery

I can ask this of my contact at GM. Just want Terrain or 'Nox too?

They are identical to the Chevrolet Equinox. They do not fold completely level, but they are flat. These are from the Equinox LTZ

Terrain I4 FWD 3867 Equinox V6 FWD 3928 LaCrosse V6 FWD 3929 So again, no the I4 Lacrosse isn't going to be a speed demon, but it'll still feel decent around town.

I don't know that the belt line is any different than the Equinox. Once you're inside, visibility seems the same.

Steering is noticeably different particularly at low speeds. Much lighter steering in parking maneuvers, at city speeds and above steering feels slightly sportier, faster to respond.

Well, in the 20 miles I've been lead footing it around town in 50/50 ECO Mode/Not Eco-Mode, I'm getting 22 city. Also, I don't think anyone will have to be worried about the I4 in the Buick Lacrosse. It's no speed demon, but it's got spunk.

Interactive Review: 2010 GMC Terrain FWD SLE-2 Stock photo used I just recieved a GMC Terrain I4 FWD SLE-2 to evaluate. We're going to do something a little different this time. I'm still going to write the standard review, but I will post it during the evaluation period. This will give you guys the chance to ask questions and ask for photographs of specific areas of the vehicle. So fire away so I can take notes on any questions you have about the vehicle.

You have till Monday, December 28th to get your questions in before I turn in the vehicle.

My goal with all of the reviews is to look at the particular vehicle from the point of view of the target market.

Thanks. To be honest I felt kinda rushed on this one. I wanted to get it done as soon as I could, but my day job kept interfering. We're going to do the review on the Terrain a little differently and get you guys involved in the process. Should be exciting! The upcoming vehicles are: GMC Terrain I4 Buick Lacrosse <don't know which trim> Cadillac CTS Sportwagon Cadillac SRX (tentative) Chevy Traverse (tentative)

Since the week of Thanksgiving. I got the Equinox the Tuesday prior to T-giving and returned it the Tuesday after. It's taken me this long to write the article because I've also been working 70 hour work weeks until last week.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. You've given me a fantastic idea to make C&G reviews very unique. BTW, you should all also bug z24bluethunder for his thoughts on the vehicle too. He was my photographic assistant and lovely back seat legroom model.

I took that picture looking down through the sunroof.
