This is not a competitor for the Jeep Grand Chreokee. Now that's a segment I would like to see GM compete in.

You guys are something else.... just defend away every move that GM makes no matter how silly or inconsiderate to loyal customers.
You see the name GM and immideiately pounce on anyone who has a legitimate issue.
I don't WANT a competitor with the Grand Cherokee. That defeats the purpose of having a rugged SUV that more people can afford. We want a replacement for the GMT360 and this is the closest thing anyone currently makes to that, so your "this wasn't designed for the USA" argument holds less water than cheesecloth.
The only thing about this vehicle that makes it not designed for the USA is the fact that someone is scared that it is too affordable and too appealing and will lower the average fuel economy.
Instead of capitulating to these shortsighted regulations, they should be fighting them like they did in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
When are the rest of you guys going to figure out that there is NO limit to how high these CAFE numbers will go. Every time they are raised, the NEXT higher limits are already being hammered out by a bunch of pencil pushers. Every time you give in, you simply get closer to the point where GM will have to discontinue a vehicle that YOU want to have. One day in the forseeable future there will only be 4 cylinder and hybrid Camaros and a 15 second quarter mile will be considered great acceleration. Just look what happend to cars in the 70's and 80's.
When will you guys wake up?
