Very nice! Glad to see the Avalanche got new fabric- did the Silverado? GM needs to get rid of that current crap ASAP!!

[mbukukanyau]

I want a traverse, I also want an Avalanche and a HHR SS.
Now where is that Lotto money?

[solman98]

All HHR's for 09 have the window switches moved to the door, so that is an old photo. Upper 30's in mileage? I think that's a type.

[mikmak]

OMFG Trailblazer is so old school. The dash looks like it is made out of Dark Knight body armour. I want one.



HHR SS is kinda cool, which is ironic since I usually have a natural aversion to retro thanks to Chryslers abhorrent PT Cruiser and the poorly executed Prowler (ie drive train et al.).

[SirRaven]

The trailblazer needs to go now, why even bother with an 09. There is now way this will sell well at all this year expecially once the traverse is out.

[redfox]

I see the Silverado still has those ugly blobs on the ends of the front bumper ugly.

The Trailblazer can out-tow the Traverse by a good margin and I believe it also has a higher ground clearance.

But with the economy tanking and gas prices rising, I don't know that enough Trailblazer fans are around to justify keeping it. Buy an old pickup to tow your boat and a Traverse for everything else.

Only thing I've ever had to tow with the Envoy is the Sonoma when I got it stuck in the mud in our front lawn...

Already considering a Traverse in a few years to replace the Envoy if gas doesn't let up. I may have to extend the garage though.

Panel SS HHR

The Colorado is getting the V8? I thought that was pushed back.

Damn, that traverse is a good looking vehicle.

Yeah, it was pushed back a year ago.

[red_rider]

Are we going to be able to get the traverse with body color trim at the bottom instead of that ugly plasticy looking stuffz? Otherwise, its pretty sharp.

[BlueBowtie69]

Yeah man, that Traverse is a very nice looking vehicle... Should sell well.
