Certainly attractive, but now as a FWD/AWD SUV, it places itself right in the middle of a bunch of great vehicles. Lamba from GM, Pilot and MDX from Honda. By changing the vehicle they are now even competing with themselves to a degree with the Edge and Flex. And clearly with that feature line they are going for a Taurus look.
Also, the poster that said the Ecoboost V6 is coming better be right. Although the I4 is a FE play, my Sky Redline with the GMPP calibration is making 290 HP and 325 lb-ft of torque and it still launches like a 2.0 liter. Doesn't come into the sweet spot down that low. So a sub 3,000 pound car vs. a 4,500 pound SUV??? I am not sure that will work. But I'd guess if they didn't think it was at least passable they wouldn't charge more for it. Have to wait and see on that one.
