Good engineering, though. 32 mpg is nothing to sneeze at for a crossover this bulky, and it will help GM's EPA ratings tremendously.

they are all probably great vehicles, but finding buyers is an uphill battle with those odds. they need _maybe_ three, tho two would be enough. 5+ different variants is just silly.

Toyota has 3 brands, not 7. or 4. and in general have only had overlap between 2 of them in a given segment. _had_ being the operative word, as they do seem to have overreached a bit of late. their new CEO has said as much about their overexpansion.
even with only 4 brands now, GM still competes against itself in every segment save a few. GM's volume/market share has not been able to support the money they've spent to develop their (very good) current line-up, plus getting the vehicles onto the public's buying radar is hard to do when you have so many to promote. I think the GM culture was too convinced that things would somehow, someway, someday work out and that they would be able to gain back what they'd lost. that didn't work, leaving the big (small) question as how small they will end up before they bottom out.

Stop outsourcing your exterior design work to Korea!
Sincerely,
Wojo
P.S.- Same goes for the Equinox, upcoming Orlando, and Camaro.

Outsourcing is the only way they're ever going to make money.

1. Pay someone else to do your work.
2. ?
3. Profit.

My thoughts hinged upon the fact that I didn't think GM was unveiling anything approaching class leading in the small SUV Category. Well after about a 10 minute sales speech (With Susan dressed in an appropriately feminine pink cardigan sweater with small bows as trim) This thing came out from behind the curtain.
What was most telling of this particular introduction was how it was covered by the New York Times. The posted a video that went on to describe the fact that not one reporter was anywhere around the Terrain 10 minutes after the introduction. This was the only major introduction GM was planning foe the entire show. I was uninterested in seeing a rebodied Equinox, and it looked like I wasn't alone.
Don't get me wrong, I like Susan ever since I saw how she handled an interview with Fox News morning host Gretchen Carlson. However, I'm not in love with the Terrain.

@Ben Wojdyla:
Every object in this shot is plastic. Plastic 'chrome' which'll tarnish, hard plastic, which'll scratch. It may look glossy now, but that stuff wont last.

Seriously, more lense-flares than the last Star Trek movie. Didn't think it was possible.

Somebody posted droopy in another topic but I think he's a little more fitting here. That front end is definatly droopy.
