Generally the specification of the vehicle is based on the marketting strategy or requirements. I think - GM judged more bigger vehicle(needs more powerful engine) is effective for US market - GM is thinking it as the next Saturn SUV.

I don't know how big this is? Is it bigger than the Equinox or smaller? To me, it looks like it is about the same as an Equinox... If it's more of the RAV4, CR-V size, then yeah, have the Ecotec be the base engine. The Equinox could then move up to be the 3 row 7 passenger

Good point about the Saturn - with a little tweaking, this could be the next VUE...minus the 'bowtie', the front end looks a lot like the new Saturn Aura concept. Replies to this message: corvette (Jun 04, 2005 2:57 pm)

Replying to: davem2001 (Mar 15, 2005 8:11 am) The "little tweaking" is the problem. They should sell it in the US as-is, just don't offer the lower-end powertrains, and keep the suspension tuning the same. The S3X is beautiful, if they do anything to the styling I can almost promise it will look garish. If we get a "version" of this car, it will not be the same as the original.
#24 of 25 Not for the US by joey2brix Jun 07, 2005 (4:37 am)
Seeing there's already a CRV, RAV4, Kia, etc in the smaller SUV market, no rush to bring it to the US. I think we're more likely to see the Vue/Nox/Torrent reskinned in '08 with a Suzuki OHC V6 since these will be imported for the XL-7 Theta.
