It's all Momma needs and it's all I need. We all know it's a hard road ahead to large scale production. Hopefully closer to 3000lbs than 3500lbs. This is just the kind of vehicle I imagined. RHD Is this one also half-baked? Or should I say, only half-digested before being sent on its way into the world?.

If I had the money I would not pass up buying one. It was like driving a GoKart on any crooked highway. That car would bury the speedometer when you shifted to fourth in the Five speed. But when the Fiero GT came out with the 3-1 V-6 it was amazing. Pontiac on the other hand and the Iron Duke design had engine fires from oil leaking from the valve cover on the exhaust manifold and no guts the no guts was that 2.8 v-6 for sure. The Quad Four didn't have many problems m with the Iron Duke mostly coils under that engine cover. Look I worked for an Oldsmobile-Pontiac dealerships for most of my 20 years as a mechanic.

I would also like to see a new version of the Proton Jumbuck make a return. I'm hoping we see these things soon, like the Maverick and Santa Cruz.

I do hope it doesn't come with the inbuilt Chrysler unreliability.These little utes haven't made it yet to Australia, we have 14-15 pickup brands to choose from, not counting the full size pickups from the US. Alan It looks good, like many Chrysler products.The first three months of 2019 saw sales fall 10.4 percent.

Traverse sales rose 18.7 percent in 2018, making it the third-best selling Chevrolet behind the Silverado and Equinox. The reality might be that GM already sells plenty of Traverses and didn’t need a configuration with a low take rate to complicate matters. GM has a new four-cylinder in the form of the LSY, but that engine, found in the Cadillac AT4 and refreshed, 2020 GMC Acadia, is down on power compared to the older engine family. While the older LTG engine is no longer available to order, there’s no word on a new downsized Traverse mill waiting in the wings. In other words, no change from the four-cylinder’s 2019 starting price. After-destination MSRP for a FWD RS is $44,295.

GM dresses up its RS with blacked-out trim and 20-inch wheels, adding the LT Premium Package and Convenience and Driver Confidence Package for good measure. That low-displacement, low-end grunt allowed the Traverse to at least claim a 20 mpg city fuel economy figure, which happened to be just 2 mpg below its combined rating. To refresh your memory, the turbo Traverse brewed 257 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque - 53 fewer horses than the 3.6-liter model, but 29 additional foot-pounds. Chevy’s dropping the 2.0T Traverse.Īccording to GM Authority, a mid-year change sees the engine disappear from the RS trim, replaced by the model’s now sole powerplant: GM’s trusty 3.6-liter, mated to the same nine-speed employed by both the V6 and 4-cyl Traverses. Combined fuel economy improved by only 1 mpg by ticking the RS box.

Available only in front-drive guise, the four-banger Traverse returned 1 mpg less on the highway than its 3.6-liter FWD sibling, the result of the six-cylinder’s loftier horsepower count. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the apparently sportier version of Chevy’s full-size, three-row Traverse was a mid-range offering with blacked-out clothing that hardly improved on the V6 model’s fuel economy. An “odd choice.” That’s how TTAC’s Timothy Cain characterized the Chevrolet Traverse RS when it first appeared in late 2017.
