Chevy Traverse

http://www.chevrolet.com/traverse/





I remember posting spy shots of this along time ago. This is Chevys version of the outlook/acadia/enclave, and i really like it! I think it looks VERY beefy compared to its quadruplet acadia outlook and enclave. If they offered one with less **** than the one in the media release, id be up for it. Wouldnt want the third row seat either but that might be a standard option. 286HP for that v6 aint bad either and supposedly gonna get better than normal SUV gas mileage. Hmmm so many cars, so little money .

And i know already some of you are going to call it a minivan . Suck it!

Maybe because the only one doing it is GM, aka chevy, GMC, saturn, buick. Theyre all on the same "lambda" platform.

In my opinion, murano is same thing as an edge, the new version being uglier and more expensive for the same thing. Edge and murano are much smaller than these lambda based SUVs. The toureg is in its own class among any other SUV. Clean diesel v10, dont consider it a cross over, just a midsize SUV. The rx300 i consider just an SUV like the explorer. However, you made me think of something i did forget. The audi a7 could be thrown in with these GM crossovers.

I don't understand these things.

It was horrible when I had to buy a minivan for my company.

Jeezus shopping for it was just ghey.

Sales person: "this van has all the amenities....."

Me: "**** what do you want for this POS"

I like this too..

It's bigger than the MDX, MKX, Edge, etc.. But smaller than the Lambda platform mates...

But, this has one thing nothing I've mentioned has so far...

An available v8.

The 09 Dodge Journey is another one to add to the list.
