I bought a BMW X3 3 years ago when I started having alot of hip trouble and the Accord I had was killing me. Nice height car to get in and out of and the 300 horse and go cart handling makes it fun to drive. And the best seat I have ever sat in.
What I find odd with any of these, who in the world is taking them off road? I see several with air suspensions, and you know those will eventually have problems. Some of the jeeps had trouble when they were brand new. There are several commercials where they are running around in the desert.

That car is being built in Mexico and I hope it tanks. I just got idled at my plant at Lordstown Ohio and think something like that could have been given to the plant I worked at. People need to read the vin numbers and understand where these cars are being built. If they don't sell they will not keep building them or hopefully consider bringing them back in the US where they belong. I and my Dad have both had long careers at GM and it is sad the direction this company has taken and the position they have put myself and others in to consider transferring to other plants leaving our family and friends to start all over again.

Is it based on the Equinox platform?

I'll stick to my 2018 truck. At least the front end has some style and doesn't look like it's cloned from a Hyundai or a Toyota. Yuck!

Well... Ford just released teaser renderings of an SUV called the Mustang Mach E.

By the looks of it perhaps Chevy abandoned the idea of a Camaro SUV and resurrected the Blazer name instead only to have Ford steal the MOJO.

To me, and my opinion only, every crossover looks the same and if you held a gun to my head I probably couldn't tell one from another unless I saw the badge.

Whatever happened to daring styling? Something that stood out from the rest. I get that the crossover realm doesn't lend itself to a lot of different styling easily, but good night, can't someone do something that isn't exactly like the other?

Proof that no one has any original ideas or imagination anymore.
Be it new cars,new movies,new TV shows or new songs,all are just copycat warmed over remakes of past originals that can't compare today.
..just dull & bland brain dead ideas,while looking for accolades.
