#13 of 25 Re: Do U Know NEW CHEVY SUV - S3X ? [asafonov] by biondi Mar 15, 2005 (7:40 am)
Replying to: asafonov (Mar 15, 2005 7:36 am) I think the design by GM Daewoo is really good. and it would give good performace because the engine manufacturer for US S3X is - reliable - Honda or Holden. - good inter/exter designs by GM Daewoo - reliable and durable engine by Honda or Holden - qualified manufacturing by GM. isn't it good combination??

If it came to USA I would expect it to have a "corporate" GM V6, either the same one as the Equinox or the one from the Malibu, maybe the Honda V6 from the Saturn VUE.

could use a car-based replacement for the Tracker, and this is certainly cute enough to be a "cute ute". I don't know why it needs those big V-6s from Holden or Honda though, why not make it a bit smaller (don't want overlap with the Equinox and don't need more that five seats) and make the Ecotec 2.2 the standard engine? For that matter, why does it need to be on the Vue/Equinox platform, which is bigger? Why not the Cobalt platform?
#16 of 25 Hmm.. by biondi Mar 15, 2005 (8:08 am)
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)
