I have two friends that have them and both love them. Neither have had problems with them and I believe they're selling well. do not let the GM bashers tell you the Japanese are better cars, THEY are not... purchase American and keep the profits in the US.

no bad..esp. the LT and LTZ. Go with the 3.9L engine.the best of three offered. as well, if you're a shorter driver, you may be able to get adjustable pedals.

Is an average car. Remember is only a GM. Better than any Ford, but not as good as any Japanese car.

What vintage are you talking about? I assume the new incarnation. I personally could not own one as they tend to be a little rattly and rough riding, but I know of some number of that have been fleet cars and are going strong after 200,000 miles with good maintenance .

Depends. The old ones were cool.

If it is a newer one, then it depends on the price. they're ok nice and big, but kind of plain.

Depends on what you are purchasing it for. My roommate who is a financial adviser & does lots of highway driving just bought his second one. He loves it/them.

They are supposed to be good. The newest one is lots more nice than the one it replaced, and they're rock hard dependable.
