Q: What do you think about the all new Chevrolet Traverse?
I love it but what do you think??? What color would you get??

A: Good gas mileage for an 8 passenger vehicle. The enclave is a better ride and quieter ride. White is a good color but I like the silver. We have not had any problems and I would suggest you get the tow package factory installed.

Q: “The all new Chevrolet Traverse” When will GM stop making rebadged junk?!!??
http://www.leftlanenews.com/.html

This is why American cars can’t sell.

Why are they so stupid? Do they think that they can sell this this Lambda platform crap as something different? It’s the same thing as the Acadia, Outlook and Enclave….GM is still stuck in the stone age.

They did the same thing with the Pontiac Grand Am/ Oldsmobile Alero, Chevy Venture/Pontiac Montana and many other GM failures.
You keep costs down buy not making cars you don’t need.

GM needs to make new and more exciting designs.

A: The are optioned differently and priced differently more than in the past.

Rebadging isn’t a American thing. Its an automotive thing. VW/Audi is almost entirely a rebadge. Same goes for Nissan/Infinity and Toyota/Scion/Lexus. If you look a little deeper you will see that every major manufacturer in the world is doing it.

Bill S – What plants are GM and Ford sharing? They share a transmission and thats about it.

Q: USB IPOD Touch connection for 2010 Chevrolet Traverse?
I have just purchased a 3rd generation IPOD touch and have also just purchased a chevrolet 2010 Treaverse. The new car has a USB port and states in the users manual that it is compatable with the IPOD touch, nano, and classic. If it is working properly I should be able to control my IPOD from the radio controls and be able to see my music list on the radio display. At this time I am unable to get the radio to recognize the IPOD and will not allow its support and function. Is there anyone out there that has had success in connecting an IPOD through a USB connection in a Chevrolet Traverse?

A: no I have not but buy an aftermarket deck w/USB and problem solved

Q: Why do new trucks/SUVs look like sh*t?
I swear the only trucks in production right now that I find attractive at all are the Land Rovers. What is going on? All trucks and SUVs used to be so beautiful AND capable! Now they look like bubbles that can’t even roll to the end of a snowy driveway. And the sides are so high and hideous!

A: the real answer is that [in the past] these TRUCK BASED vehicles became popular for their abilities,
then the market demographic shifted from people who had to get somewhere period to people with large disposable incomes that never used the potential capabilities [so why make it actually capable?] then the “designers” got involved loading these incapable barges down with the sort of trash that is called in car entertainment, power or automatic everything, g.p.s.[for people who are always lost, on the way to the mall]
unfortunately there is very little left on the market that has any capabilities period at any price.
with the possible exceptions of the kia sportage [inexpensive and becomes capable with decent wheels/tire combinations] and the super duty fords when equipped with the power stroke diesel
and the blacked out grill [they gotta lose the[[ be bop-a- do waa]] chrome and have a gizmo delete option]

Q: What SUV/Crossover should we get?
We are planning to trade in our 2003 Ford Explorer for a brand new SUV or Crossover. We’ve narrowed it down to a few options, but we need your help choosing.

Choices:

1. Dodge Journey
2. Dodge Durango
3. Kia Borrego
4. Kia Serrento
5. Chevrolet Traverse
6. GMC Acadia

Which do you think is the best? And please answer as quickly as you can… we plan to buy the vehicle tomorrow.

A: The traverse is pretty nice.

Q: What is the best SUV to join our fleet?
We are in the market for a second SUV and are considering either a Chevrolet or Toyota. We currently have a Chevrolet Tahoe that we are very happy with. I also have a Chevrolet Silverado that isn’t practical for use with the family. We would like another large SUV or possibly a Chevrolet Traverse (which is considered to be a crossover).
The new car will be used primarily as my commuter car but will double as a family vehicle. The reason why we need another one (which I know will come up) is due to the fact that we love our Tahoe so much that we are putting way too many miles on it too fast. As well as the fact that I often need to pick my children up from school when my wife is doing something else, and we have to plan far in advance so that I can take her car (the Tahoe).

A: KBB has a pretty cool tool called the perfect car finder, that you may find useful:

I personally drive a Lexus GX470 and it is awesome…good room for the family, but not overly huge. I have driven a number of Lexus’ and Toyotas and they are all solid.

If you want to check out vehicles in inventory, these 3 sites pretty much cover all of the used car inventory in the US as each pulls their vehicle inventory from different places, so it’s wise to search all 3…

http://www.autotrader.com: pulls inventory from dealers and those autotrader publications

http://www.cars.com: works with a lot of dealers and newspaper classifieds

http://www.autobuying101.com: pulls inventory from dealers and other online listing services.

Good luck…

Quality is another story. Which GM is turning around with the launch of vehicles such as the Malibu and Cadillac CTS.

A: I use to be a GM man but lately they arent impressing me at all other than the new corvettes and Camaro. From now on, its nothing but toyota for me

Q: Easy to get into Cars Assembled in America?
My dad has arthritis and wants a car he can get in and out of, but he he also wants a car assembled in America. He’s not opposed to foreign brands, he just wants it assembled here.

Currently he has a Honda Element, the seat is the right height and the doors are large and open very wide. He’s getting tired of it and wants something new. I’m thinking he probably wants to stay with something about mid-sized and SUV-ish or a crossover.

I was thinking:
Saturn Outlook – Lansing, MI
Chevrolet Traverse – Spring Hill, TN
Chevrolet TrailBlazer – Moraine, OH & Oklahoma City, OK
GMC Acadia – Lansing, MI
GMC Envoy – Moraine, OH & Oklahoma City, OK
Buick Enclave – Lansing, MI
Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matix – Fremont, CA
Saturn Vue – Spring Hill, TN
Toyota Highlander – Princeton, IN
Ford Taurus X – Chicago, IL
Honda CR-V – East Liberty, OH (+ many other places)
Cadillac SRX – Lansing, MI
Mercury Mountaineer – Louisville, KY & St. Louis MO
Honda Pilot – Lincoln, AL
Subaru Tribeca – Lafayette, IN

A more complete list of vehicles assembled in the USA would be awesome, but I couldn’t find one. Short of that, other suggestion would be great.
Yeah I get that there is more than one way to define ‘made in America,’ but he wants a car assembled in America, he just does.

A: The reason I bought a 2008 Dodge Nitro was it is 85 percent American made, the highest I could find.

It is easy to get in and out of, another reason I liked it.

The GM Acadias have a chinese engine, I think :(
