Re: NYIAS 09: 2010 GMC Terrain

Firstly, sorry but no arrows on this posting.

The front of the Terrain, grille specifically, reminds me of the LandRover Freelander2. Definately going for the offroad capable image.
Someone else said it earlier - a reaction to the Hummer sale/death?

As a Jeep, the new Grand Cherokee sucks.

Re: NYIAS 09: 2010 GMC Terrain

Cleaned it up as best I could.
Try to keep it on track.
Pics were posted.
The Terrain and Nox are bigger then Vue
SRX is on a different platform.
Terrain looks like a Mini Acadia

I see so the whole ride suspension and better approach and departure angles versus the current one mean nothing.

Oh that's right you must be one of those people who wants Solid Axles and Recirculating Ball Steering with Leaf Spring Suspensions. Screw Technology!

Terrain is a bit brash, but that's fine. You want subdued, buy an Equinox.

Absolutely tacky.
Ahh, good to see that I am not the only one who noticed this.

As for it being "tacky"...perhaps.

Re: NYIAS 09: 2010 GMC Terrain

I came back to this thread to see if I like this better than the 'nox. I do.

That doesn't mean this is good though

Re: NYIAS 09: 2010 GMC Terrain

The Grand Cherokee has had unibody construction since its debut 16 years ago, I don't think that was ever really an issue. The issue is the suspension: Jeepers prefer solid axles front and rear.
