This vehicle is a good step in the right direction for GM and a big improvement over the previous model. But it is not as good as the competition. There are so many other vehicles I would buy over this one, Rav4, CRV, Edge, Santa Fe, Tucson, Sorento, New Sportage (which will be getting a 274 HP 2.0L Turbo engine!), and Outlander. Again GM tries it's best to improve their products but always falls short of becoming relavent.
