Wife's new Camaro is a Terrain.

I made a post a while back about dealers not allowing test drives. My wife tried the Avis test drive (cost me for the hotel and lost $60 at the Casino) and didn't like the Camaro. Tonight I get home and there is a silver Terrain in the garage. That silly employee discount keeps her from coming over to the darkside. I tried to talk her into an SHO after the Camaro didn't pan out.

Congrats to your wife! I have been looking at the new Terrain thinking it would be a nice all purpose vehicle for those summer and winter days when driving my Camaro would not be so great. I think I would go for the SLT-2 with a trailer package and 19" wheels in either Atlantic Blue Metallic or Carbon Black Metallic. Very nice vehicle its going to be popular!

The GMC Terrain. http://www.gmc.com/terrain/terrain/i...p?pvideo=false

As for the Camaro, the op made another thread some time ago whining that his wife had the common sense to prefer a GM product (the Camaro) over the inferior SHO. Seems like the wife didn't like the Camaro but instead bought another GM product.

LMAO. This thread is gold. I personally like the man card. I know lots of guys who need one.
Hey Dknightx, how did you get your man card? Do tell the story.

but why would anyone buy the terrain instead of the new srx, I guess some people don't think before they buy something
Umm, because the Terrain costs a ton less than an SRX? And the Terrain achieves up to 32 MPG on the highway.

I guess some people don't do any research before they post something.

I mean sure it costs more, but it is the nicest cross over on the theta platform.

I don't know maybe it's just me but when I first saw the terrain at the NY auto show, in a way it seemed to have this cool, unique "aggressive stance" and was an interesting idea, but now when I see it at the dealer or on the street it's almost as if gm released the model without it's balls and it's kind of like the car just looks like it's chilling. For me, at least, something happened between the concept and the actual production version that I can't figure out and which would result in me choosing the srx.

Still, it's a fairly nice smaller cross over.

If i didn't get an SRX, i was going to get a white Terrain. And vinyl wrap it like the Mako from Mass Effect.


See the resemblance?

LOL! Every kid in the world would disagree with you. You're driving Bumblebee.
