GM would be way better off developing a Wrangler competitor than a 2 door full size SUV that 4 people will buy.

I've heard that they had one in the works for GMC.

Sounds like GMC wants one, but can't come up with a viable business case.

Have to say I agree with DGthe3 and Fen. I know the old 2 door Tahoe or Blazer might have been popular back in the day.

But I can't figure out what, if any advantage a modern 2 door Tahoe would offer you over a four door. Can someone explain that to me? If "appearance" is the only answer...well then that's not going to be enough. A four door Tahoe is going to offer you just as much storage and capability as a two door version. If wanting a manlier looking SUV is the concern, well then we just need to hope GM builds one. Perhaps the RST is the answer there.

KMP pretty much hit the nail on the head here. Yeah the older ones were kind of cool I guess, but I personally never saw the point of them.

And especially in a new vehicle, if I have an SUV I want to go hunting/fishing in I'm probably taking some buddies with me. I dont want them to have to climb in the back, I just want them to pile in.

But that's just me. I guess I just never got the appeal of a full size two door SUV

I don't care either way for 2 vs 4, I just want a removable top

The Envoy's at the dealer for some preventative maintenance.

I have a 2017 Buick Encore FWD Preferred loaner. Comfortable, peppy, and fuel efficient, but I have a sudden feeling I need to pick the kids up from school and take them to soccer practice...

They are a very nice car. But the price tag

FenwickHockey65 · 09-01-2017, 11:29 AM

$25k was the sticker on the one I've got. Not too bad for what you get.

We picked up a 2016 AWD left over... we just couldn't deal w/ the turbo lag.

We got a steal of a deal for it, but man, it didn't make up for the lag... once it was going, it was zippy as all get out. We traded it in for a 2017 Hyundai Tucson AWD... basically just swapped them. The Tucson is pretty sweet!

The Encore Preferred FWD starts at about $25k. http://www.buick.com/suvs/encore-com...own.html#/trim

Sure, you can get a Trax cheaper but not by much.

JerTM · 09-01-2017, 12:14 PM

My bad, I was thinking of the Envision. Too many cuv's haha

We have a big Chevy conference thing in Vegas the first week of April, and they said something about a big reveal. Do you think that is when they are going reveal it?
