My Aunt has a Black 2010 ESV too. I am sure the SRX is a nice car, but I just do not like small SUVs very much. I do like the new ford edge though.

The new edge is really nice, infact my dad has been raving about it ever since he rented one in Chicago on a trip. I love the look of the Edge Sport (I think that's what they call it?)

I would think that expanded use of the LSA would reduce per unit costs and increase the profitability of all the platforms using it.


I would buy 1 of these tomorrow if they came out.

Yeah it is. The Ram Runner is a kit you buy from the part counter for your Ram, the Raptor is a regular production vehicle sitting on the dealers lot.

Plus the Raptor is way better looking imo. Never been a fan of Dodge trucks.

I bet there will be some fully assembled Ram Runners sitting on dealer lots too.

But kit or not, the Ram Runner is intended to do the exact same thing as a Raptor: blast through the desert at high speed

I wish GM Performance Parts would at least try to offer a package if Chevrolet isn't going to have an all-out rally truck. For a brand with such a racing heritage, this should be a pretty easy product to engineer. Aftermarket companies would love to fight over who gets to supply components.

I'm also still wishing GM will produce a Wrangler competitor. Sadly, I'm not convinced that it will ever happen. :(

I think they had one in the pipeline, the Hummer H4, but it died with Hummer

How's this for a grill? Though mine has no go fast goodies, just an E & G Classics V style grille.





Though a nice bodykit would be... nice. And yes, the interior is the best! Especially at night!


SRX widebody courtesy of D3 Cadillac Performance, would be a good place to start a SRX V!

I love your SRX. I wish they hadn't discontinued that color.
