They are supposed to be good. GM competes with those companies in China with its own EV's built there. And we already get Chinese cars imported to the US under our own brands, like the Buick...

Good luck with the new ride, whatever it may be!

Nascar still exists?

GM makes vehicles that also turn right now, maybe they've moved on to a more interesting sport?

Anyone can buy ad space in a magazine. The fine print says it all, but hey, it sure created a lot of buzz on the internet, didn't it?

Oh. My goodness. I'm not sure how I missed this. IMO this is a huge improvement over the car-based looks of its predecessor. And I like what looks to be an optional roof color, black, white, or body...

No filter probably nets more HP, I mean, why not, it's not like Green or K&N are exceptionally great at actual particulate filtration. Paper media is.

There's a 1LT RS 6-speed still on the lot from when I bought my SS last November. Ouch. And there's a 3LT Panther Edition. Both appear to still have markup beyond MSRP even with some light incentives...

I feel like the lower (LT) Equinox trims could easily be fixed.

It's the plastic upper dash that just screams CHEAP, and the use of urethane steering wheels. The seats are also too narrow or need...

Is anyone else like.... bye, Felicia?

I'd lean towards the Ford. I'm unimpressed with Stellantis quality now that they're in charge. The Ram is actually a nice truck at face value, but I also hate the 3.6, and again, some quality issues....
