Well, the XTerra isn't frilly by any means. Otherwise I agree. I'd say 2 doors, with rear half-doors (like the Element, Saturn coupes, RX-8, extended cab pickups, etc.) have. Such half-doors really are convenient.I'd like a new Trailblazer based off the Colorado chassis with real off road capability.
Something like the Xterra would be nice, but man it up a bit. 2 doors will be plenty.
The Trailblazer or Envoy would be a better competitor. The 9-7x is purely an on road vehicle.I know its still based on the Trailblazer but the SAAB 9-7 has an upscale import flair to it. The 9-7 might be worth a look. http://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp/97x/features/exterior.jsp

I don't think GM has had a strong presence in mid-size (by US standards) off-roaders globally in the past few decades (maybe ever).The problem with GM and Ford giving up this segment, is that , they leave a global market to Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi...
GM thinks local, japan thinks global
A Femminan 4Runner???? A mid-size SUV with a big V6 on a manual tranny with a real off-road package is femminan? Dosent sound to fem to me. I think its great that Toyota offers stuff that people really want, like manual tranny and off-road packages and optional V8. More than I can say for most SUV's in its segment!(Xterra and H3 discluded). 4Runners are actually really cool SUV's.. What is femminan like the 4runner?
Simply, no Chevy shouldn't "bring on some competition." Chevy, ala GM, needs to bring more, better small cars to the market before it develops a new SUV model.had a buddy of mine recently purchase a 4runner. I was going to tell him to look at chevy but don't think they have anything to compete against the 4runner. shouldn't they bring on some competion![]()
Is Femminan a medicine or a planet in the Star Trek universe? Or perhaps you mean Femminem, Bosnia and Herzegovina's answer to Eminem:A Femminan 4Runner????

Even though Chevy doesn't have anything to compete against the Toyota 4Runner, you should of told your buddy to look at the Hummer H3 instead of buying the 4Runner right away. Either way the H3's still a GM.had a buddy of mine recently purchase a 4runner.
