No.. it's just an abundance of caution. A lot of the recalls could have been TSBs but GM is recalling them anyway. I recall one of the recalls is a "The key is still in the ignition you dummy" chime that doesn't sound if the silverado/sierra is equipped with a certain radio. On my Buick, the recall is to check how tight the bolts that hold the seat to the floor are torqued down..... not exactly life threatening stuff.

With the exception the center stack, the interior on the Trax is substantially better than the Soul. "may have AWD in the future" is a nice idea, but that doesn't sell cars to people who want AWD today.

I think this car should stick with Turbo-4s and not get V6es. It would ruin the balance the car has. It's the same reasoning I prefer the ATS 2.0T to the 3.6.

people, OEMs, everyone is asking insane prices for everything these days. there seems to be a huge inflation in pricing over the last 4 years.

quick on the trigger lately... recalls instead of TSBs.

Would never fit. I've been told that even the 2.0T is too big. The 1.7 diesel is probably near the top displacement they could get in there from the current available engines. Anything more and they'd need to get fancy with cylinder counts (really big 3 cylinder) or go to a V4 arrangement.

Don't your legs ever get tired from all the time you spend moving the goal posts? 3 years ago you were whining that Cadillacs were too big and too heavy, but as soon as Cadillac comes out with a car that is the same size and lighter than the Germans, those traits don't seem to matter anymore. The 3.6 today is not the same 3.6 from 2004. ... just the same as the 2.0T in the Regal today is not the same as the 2.0T from 9 years ago. Just because the displacement number is the same, doesn't make it the same engine.

Yes, they are Sonic related. Clearly I'm a fan... we've been very happy with our Encore. My only wish (for the Buick) is that they could offer a bump in horsepower. The 1.6T from Europe with 200 horsepower would be just about right. Edit, or the 1.7 diesel they offer in the Mokka.

The EPA just told benz to reduce the MPG estimates for the E-class.

Conservative sells though... Chevy has a chance to corner the market on people who don't like the weird looking Juke. There is also a material difference in interior room inside the Trax compared to the Juke. When the front seat is adjusted for me, I can sit in the rear seat of the Trax.... not so with the Juke.

lol at a 6.2 Sierra Crew-Cab being more practical than a Regal GS.

No way that motor, or even anything close to it in output, makes it into production. Aside from speculation on the TT... this should probably be speculation on the next A4. ... or next A4.5 if they do a "Four Door Coupe"

Chevrolet's littlest crossover, the Chevy Trax will launch in January 2015 with a base price of $20,995. Front-wheel-drive is standard and all-wheel-drive will be a $1,500 stand alone option on all trim levels. The Trax shares its platform with the already on sale Buick Encore and will likely share that vehicle's 5-star front and side crash test ratings. The only engine offered is the familiar 1.4 litre turbo unit producing 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque and EPA rated for 26 mpg city and 34mpg highway in front wheel drive models. EPA estimated fuel economy for the AWD model was not officially announced, but we expect it to be about the same or slightly better as the Buick Encore AWD which rings in at 23/30 city/highway. Notable features include Chevy's MyLink, 10 airbags, Onstar 4G-LTE onboard wifi, and Siri Eyes Free connectivity. The Trax has already been on sale in other global markets outside of the US with over 155,000 sales to date. GM Press Release on Page 2 DETROIT – Chevrolet announced today that its newest U.S. model, the Trax, will start at $20,995. Offering compact-car maneuverability with SUV style, space and versatility, the Trax will come equipped with a standard 1.4L turbocharged engine providing an EPA estimated 26 city and 34 highway mpg, 10 air bags, MyLink infotainment with a seven-inch touch screen, rearview camera, remote keyless entry and a 60/40-split fold-flat rear seat and fold-down front passenger seat offering more than 48 cubic feet of cargo space. Additional features offered include a $1,500 all-wheel-drive option – available on all trim levels – making Trax the most affordable AWD model in the Chevrolet portfolio; remote start and segment-exclusive OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Trax will also be the first in its class to offer Siri Eyes Free connectivity for compatible iPhone users. The Trax is Chevrolet’s seventh small vehicle launch in four years. During that time, the brand’s share of the small-, compact- and mini-car segments has more than tripled. “Trax is positioned to be a strong competitor in the emerging small-SUV market, which is expected to grow more than 80 percent in the next few years,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of car marketing. The Trax, which goes on sale in January 2015, will be available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. It is already sold in 66 markets around the world with total sales of 155,000 to date.

interesting in that it is feasibly an attainable alternative to the BMW i8.

exactly what would you haul? You can't even get a bicycle into that.

Hi from Pittsburgh, PA. I'll probably not be going anywhere for a few weeks now.

The 3-series outsells the Cadillac because of badge-whores like you.... not because it is a better driving car... it isn't.

Hi from Philadelphia PA

Looking under the hood of the Canyon V6 today, there is mooore than enough room for a 5.3.... The word Typhoon was also mentioned today as a "would like"

Happy Birthinday!

Well, I was joking a bit ...

What I'd like is a Terrain AllTerrain.

Hi from Joliet Illinois and the Autobahn Country Club and Raceway.

This is not news.... Why not just wait until you write it to post about it?
