This vehicle is one of the worst in its class, all GMT-360 vehicles are, they're from the fucking stone age! Most people that drive them have NO NEED FOR THEM at ALL, and just like the idea of sitting up high, or are too insecure to sit down low...or both! And like I said, I wasn't aware that Rome was a "tiny, unknown village in Europe". You're pathetic.

The amount of SUV's the size of the Trailblazer/9-7X I could count on ONE hand. Ever spent time in a large American city? NYC perhaps? Wait a minute, and we have SPACE here? Ever spent time in the Italian Tuscan country side? And you're saying they DON'T have space? Stop talking.

The General is positioning the 9-7 to take the Rainiers place as the plush GMT360 now that Buick has the Enclave. The cost to produce this over the Chevy or GMC version is probably marginal at best. You might not like it but a sale is a sale for GM regardless of the brand. Nevertheless the vehicle is of no consequence to your daily lives so stop xxxxing balking already.

And the GMT-360's have infinitely better reliability and durability than any of the above so you are still inheriting those traits as well as the performance. Sounds like a winner.
