Default New GM SUV

This looks pretty good. Available 400HP 6.2 with VVT, not bad.

A chevy finally with semi-up-to-date interior, not bad. That 5.3L and 6.2L seems to give it some decent power as well as good gas milage too. I don't like the exterior though. Too 90's, not enough aggresion or unique style..

I totally agree with ya ViperGTS. I love that interior. Clean, simple, but nice. I do think the outside looks decent, a much better improvement then what's currently out.

They definitely need a much more aggressive look, or even a more muscular build....

I disagree; it looks pretty plain jane to me. I give GM a D on this design.

I got the info (notice the 6.2L HP ratings) below at this link: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums...showtopic=1368

4.8L iron block (RPO LY2), rated at 290 horsepower (216 kw)*
5.3L iron block (RPO LY5) with Displacement On Demand technology, rated at 320 horsepower (238 kw)* (including E85-capable version – RPO LMG)
5.3L aluminum block (RPO LC9) with Displacement On Demand technology and E85 capability, rated at 320 horsepower (238 kw)*
6.0L iron block (LY6) heavy-duty engine with variable valve timing, rated at 350 horsepower (260 kw)*
6.0L aluminum block (L76) with Displacement On Demand technology and variable valve timing, rated at 355 horsepower (264 kw)*
6.2L aluminum block (L92) with variable valve timing, capable of 380 and 400 horsepower (283 kw to 298 kw)*
A new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission is matched with the 6.2L engine. It has a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio – including two overdrive gears – that helps deliver an excellent balance of performance and fuel economy. The 6L80’s six forward gears have smaller “steps†between them, compared to a conventional four-speed automatic, which bolsters both performance and the feeling of smoothness. Shorter steps between the gears help the transmission quickly find the best gear for the vehicle speed and road conditions, with less back-and-forth hunting on grades – a trait that is particularly helpful when towing. Also, the 6L80 has a “tap up/tap down†capability that allows the driver to manually select upshifts and downshifts with a button on the column shifter.

i hope it works out for them. makes them a little bit better and helps put another nail in ford coffin. i think it looks good inside and out. i wouldn't buy one, but then again i wouldn't buy a durango. but it looks good.

Seen one on the road today on my way to work. This truck is being built at the GM plant here and its not uncommon to seen pre production units around here. Hell they had a C6 rolling around here before it even hit the showroom floors.

But all I can think when I see one is a big version of the Chevy Equinox.
