#13 of 32 EXT or Regular? by gmfan Nov 04, 2005 (10:29 am)
Hard to tell from the photos if this is a seven passenger or a five passenger. I think it looks good, but GM needs to stay away from the "egg" look for SUV's.   Regarding the Nissan Murano comment earlier being a better vehicle, that is your opinion. I rode in Murano and the transmission shifted harsh, road noise was high, and the engine was gruff. AWD? So what...I have had AWD vehicles before and it was a maintenace nightware. Yes, you might get better traction down the road, but the maintenance was not worth this gain in my opinion. The Murano is much smaller and I felt clausterphobic with the "busy" interior. I had a 1990 Nissan Maxima that was nothing but problems.   I think society has been brainwashed to judge Japanese vehicles as superior than U.S these days. I will agree the Japanese engineers did a better job in the 1980's, but GM has closed the gap. Yes, Lexus and Infiniti have some very good vehicles, but my wife's Lexus RX300 is total crap!!! I think Ford is in trouble because their engineering is falling behind. Diamler Chrysler is doing good with Hemi advertising, but people who know cars know the hemi is mostly advertising...who really cares if a pistion is round or oval shape!!! All that really matters is the overall size!!!!   GM has too many products, and their products are competiting against each other.   GM should do the following:   When it comes to trucks, people think Chevy, GMC and Hummer. Not Buick, Saturn, or Pontiac!!! Come on guys!!!   When it comes to Vans, people think Chevy and GMC (like trucks), not Buick, Saturn, or Pontiac!!!   Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Nov 05, 2005 5:21 am) ajmtbm (May 26, 2006 3:48 pm) maximafan (Jun 11, 2006 5:54 pm)

Replying to: clarencehollow (Oct 27, 2005 2:30 pm) My brother in law was 500 miles from home with his wife and kids and just had his '02 xterra fail due to engine sludge. Looking at 3 to 5000 dollars to repair. His 1999 chevy pickup is his only vehicle til' he gets the nissan back so he can unload it.

I would like to see the truck stay with the body on frame design, with the normal improved GM interior as seen on the Tahoe, the new 6 speed auto. I don't want the truck to go up in price or size. it is the perfect size, and I love the turning radius. I would like to see, however, better OEM tires, and more ground clearance.

#18 of 32 Open Letter To GM by tired_old_dave Jun 11, 2006 (12:03 pm)
Just saw a picture in a magazine at the jeep dealership showed to me by a jeep employee. Another unibody to replace the trailblazer? The Lambda? Replace the equinox with it. TRAILBLAZER is a great name - why not make the vehicle as good as the name.   As very disgruntled liberty crd owners-and happy malibu owners, we were hoping for a TRAILBLAZER as the replacement for this oil burner(literally). We want a good body on a good frame with a good pushrod engine. Get back to the basics and if you give me real 4wd with recirc ball and not rubber boots everywhere and without an aluminum front dif, so much the better. Jeep can be easily beaten - hire their disgruntled engineers?.   We will do a free commercial for you when we exchange our crd for a new real TRAILBLAZER.   Mr. & Mrs. Tired_Old_Dave
#19 of 32 Murano transmission shifted harsh? by maximafan Jun 11, 2006 (5:54 pm)
Replying to: gmfan (Nov 04, 2005 10:29 am) How can that be? The Murano has a CVT   trannie. I thought CVT's had no shifting   involved. Can someone explain?
#20 of 32 Just bought mine by shawn14 Sep 22, 2006 (7:49 pm)
I recently (today) bought a 2007 trailblazer SS. I love it so far though it just got 200 miles on it. Sounds a lil crazy but I was wondering if anyone else had one and has put a flowmaster or similar exhaust on it yet. I have the 6L engine and am afraid if I ad exhaust it will just be a waste of money or too cheezy. Replies to this message: inuvik (Oct 26, 2006 6:41 pm)
#21 of 32 We need your help! by tidester HOST Oct 15, 2006 (10:23 pm)
Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.   To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.   You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.   To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!   Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Replying to: shawn14 (Sep 22, 2006 7:49 pm) You bought the vehicle that I want. 4.10 or 3.42 gear ratio? 2WD or 4WD? Keep us updated on your likes, dislikes, etc...
