Looks pretty nice actually. Hard to get an idea of size though. I dont like yellow, but it still doesn't look bad. Again, hard to tell how big it is, but it appears to be reasonably small....probably 3400 lbs id guess. Any idea if its based off of the Pontiav Vibe platform or the Trailblazer platform? Maybe a new one altogether?

Halx · 11-13-2003, 12:23 PM

One word... EW! Heh.

Sorry, i can't think of much else. There are no redeeming qualities about that exterior.

stingc · 11-13-2003, 12:27 PM

Gah! Aztek meets VW...

Snakebyt · 11-13-2003, 12:43 PM

i love the seats.. too bad they will never make it in a production car

laconic1 · 11-13-2003, 02:49 PM

I like the interior, but the exterior, especially the headlight area, and overall proportions screams Aztek. Not good.

keif · 11-13-2003, 03:04 PM

don't tell me they are acctually gonna produce this car...

Cynthetiq · 11-13-2003, 03:06 PM

pathetic attempt at rice

spanky_pete · 11-13-2003, 03:08 PM

Good lord, that's hideous. Granted, the Equinox isn't much to begin with. (Why of why is THAT the Blazer replacement) They could make it better by rethinking that front facia and by putting the aluminum v8 out of the SSR in it.

That is one of the ugliest designs for a car I have seen. Looks like the demon offspring of a focus and an escalade with a little lancer thrown in the mix. I love the interior though. What is it, an suv or a car?

bundy · 11-13-2003, 04:17 PM

ew...
it looks as though the headlights have nasty, evil eye-brows.
and i don´t quite understand the need for those hyper seat belts..
not to my taste at all.

Moonduck · 11-13-2003, 06:56 PM

Lancer wagon? Impreza wagon? No, some ugly-ass cross between a Trailblazer (not a pretty vehicle to begin) and a Vibe. Feh.

bennyb · 11-13-2003, 07:11 PM

Please, leave the rice cars to the ones who eat it. Thats the japanese's job, america has got to just throw some raw power out onto the market, jesus, what's becomming of the car market today.

asudevil83 · 11-13-2003, 07:23 PM

totally reminds me of a Toyota Matrix...except for the tail, headlights, and wheels.

it honestly doesnt look half bad to me, but those racing seats must go, and so do the wheels. the color is also a must replace...but other than that it doesnt look terribly bad.

Stare At The Sun · 11-13-2003, 10:33 PM

Seriously, why do they put beefy engines in shit cars like that, it might be fast, but it still looks like shit, no matter how you cut it.
*sigh* how do people actually buy shit like that? *shrugs* must just not be my style...

supafly · 11-14-2003, 01:27 AM

Like the inside but the outside kinda sucks.

jvwgtr · 11-14-2003, 05:44 AM

This looks like the sad effort of an out-of-touch corporation who wants to do something "edgy" to appeal to a younger market.
Hire new talent!

I got to say Vibe size.

Tiser · 11-14-2003, 09:03 AM

It's a pre-riced hatch in the current GM theme. It's also very yellow. I'm sure it has its market... could do well. Without the wing, a less pronounced antenna, a more traditional body color, and less blinging rims.. it will be okay for its purpose. But its still not a beauty queen or a sexy sports car.

Scorps · 11-14-2003, 11:05 AM

I like the exhaust ports

spanky_pete · 11-14-2003, 05:28 PM

It's going to share a platform with the new Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon.

laconic1 · 11-14-2003, 08:35 PM

Here is a pic I took of it at SEMA. It must have looked ok in person for me to take a pic of it.

Scorps · 11-15-2003, 01:53 PM

Oh damn its SUV size

yellowgowild · 11-15-2003, 08:17 PM

Kill it before it breeds.

LOL I hope they scrap it.....but they wont.

MSD · 11-19-2003, 10:18 PM

It looks like one vehicle trying to be about 5 other, current vehicles ... all at the same time.

Scorps · 11-20-2003, 08:24 AM

They already habve commerical of the other Xtreme, much uglier.....looks like a Matrix just little changes.
