Bought new car for the wife

[Hamilton2400]

We bought a 2012 GMC terrain a few months back. I gotta say I've been really impressed with this thing so far. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a crossover with good gas mileage!

Are the Equinox and Terrain made in the same factory? I got to wondering about that after I saw the inside on an Equinox. Its basically the same to me.

I don't think so. I believe the Equinox is built in Mexico and the Terrain is built in Canada.

I wouldn't have thought that. That is interesting. I wonder why they don't. Seems like it would help bring cost down.

Good thing I bought an American built Outback for my wife.

I think its lame that most all Chevys are built in foreign countries. Almost make me want to buy a Ford. No offense Canada.

Thanks! It sure looks pretty when it's clean but I have a heck of a time trying to keep my black camaro and her black terrain that way. I don't know if ill do black again or not after this.

Okay. First off, Equinox and Terrain are both built at CAMI Automotive in Canada. Equinox also has a line in Oshawa as well as Spring Hill, TENNESSEE. Which last I checked, was in the United States.

Now that that misinformation's been cleared up, we'll be picking up a 2013 Terrain SLE-1 sometime this month as well.

I agree, here is a list of what is made where. Many condolences to all for the loss of American manufacturing jobs.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew there used to be a Saturn plant in Spring Hill. I didn't know it was up and going again. I'm happy to hear that. I'm sure you guys will love your SLE-1. We love ours. Just wondering, what's the difference between 2012 and 2013 SLE?
