Nice ride...

My neighbor just bought one and LOVES it.

Yeah, I like, too. I didn't mind the last one, actually. Tested several before deciding not to buy it. What I simply couldn't stand was the window switches in the center console.


Then, of course, I proceeded to buy a car that had exactly that, which is what brings me here. :D

The last one was noisy and rode like shit.

Does this ride better?

I believe so George. They based it on the German designed Opel like the Saturn. Supposedly a HUGE step in the right direction.

Still why THAT color? Ugh...

The old one's engine was raspy and sounded like it was about to POP! VERY crude sounding. I'm hoping this new 3L is better.

Yeah, I have a 2005, the first year of the car, and I like it but it doesn't handle worth crap. It rides good around town and down the highway, but don't try taking a corner with much speed at all. It feels like it is going to roll over. Also, the turning radius is very large. Those are my only complaints.

Trying to talk the wife into getting one, the G6 is getting a bit worn.

I think the rear of the car looks hideous. Maybe it's the equinox name that left the bad taste in my mouth... ick. I'm sorry but it looks like a terribly ugly car with a somewhat decent powertrain to me.

I just thought, why do they need Traverse, Equinox, Acadia & Enclave? I thought the new GM was getting rid of redundancy?

badge engineering is alive and well in the General's Department of Redundancy Department.

Oh, this is the same as the Acadia?

Well, scratch that then, my wife didn't like the Acadia, she wouldn't even take a test drive.

She's short and the seat wouldn't lift high enough for her...

Little too mini-vanny for me. From the front, at least.

Nice ride... we picked up an 08 for my wife for a steal and she loves that thing. Great if you have kids, the backseat is freakin' cavernous!! We almost held out for the new one, but the price we paid for hers was too good to pass up.
