Traverse

Well I drove the newest Chevrolet today and I am absolutely impressed. The cab is so quiet I could barely hear the engine running, very smooth shifting 6 speed transmission, lots of power and no drivetrain vibrations at all. I do see some minor problem areas, but we will wait and see how they hold up. This front wheel drive vehicle makes the Trailblazer look/seem like a Tracker. I can't wait to see a 4x4 or All wheel drive with 20's on it. I haven't been this excited about a GM vehicle since they first announced the Camaro come-back.

The Outlook, Acadia, and Enclave share the same platform and Consumer Reports loves them. That's saying something considering CR generally hates on GM.

Every car manufacturer has a model that looks just like that. Why would I want to look like everyone else? I'll keep my HHR!

I agree, that's why it will be for my wife.

I don't think most of 'em are going to go for $40k. It's replacing the TrailBlazer and most of those were low $30s in LS/1LT trim. The Saturn and Chevy are the bargains and the GMC and Buick are the luxury versions.

You Can pick a 2wd Version for around 27-30k.

Maybe I'm a cheap bastard but to pay 27k-30K for a car is absolutely mind numbing to me

That being said I really like the looks of it..I think Chevy has a winner with that front "Malibu" look

If I ever decided to stay with GM it might be a Malibu
