    GMC To Add A Terrain Denali?

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    February 8, 2012

    Last March, we got our hands on a spy picture of what was a Denali version of the GMC Terrain. The mule had a blacked out honeycomb grill and a new square, chrome exhaust tip. We though the Terrain Denali would be coming sometime this year. Well, we were right on except the year.

    Automotive News reports that sources inside GM say Terrain Denali is a go. The reason to building a Denali version are to keep the sales momentum going for the Terrain (2011 saw a 37% increase in sales). Building a more luxurious version of the Terrain could attract more buyers, with Denali vehicles seeing a 79% increase last year. Also, a Denali version would help provide more separation between the Terrain and the Chevrolet Equinox.

    So what will Terrain Denali look like? Well, expect a honeycomb grill, large chrome wheels, body cladding, and new exhaust tips. Inside, a set of perforated leather seats and some Denali badging through out the interior.

    When asked for comment, a GM spokesman declined.

    BOOOOOOOOOOO

    This is the WRONG WAY to go with the Terrain!!!

    They should have it all Black Chrome and add a turbo to the engine so you have a Terrain Typhoon.

    Not only are they diluting the Denali luxury by putting it on everything, they are making cookie cutters of the same just about in all sizes.

    Not happy with this at all. Stupid Mgmt decision.

    The Terrain is for a younger crowd and should be more hip than the luxury Denali package IMO.

    I too with they would offer the Denali as more than just a bunch of chrome and bolt on cladding. I would think GM would have learned from what killed Pontiac as they just added some bolt on crap and charged more but really did not offer the hardware to back up the price.

    I would love to see a Terrain with a Turbo 4 [it could just be the 220 HP one as I'm not looking for a second coming of the Typhoon] a Haldex AWD system and things like this.

    GM needs to make the GMC a bridge between the Cadillac and the Chevy. Offer a Chevy based vehicle but with a few things from Cadillac that you can't get on a Chevy.

    I know these are money makers and are cheap to build so as long as people are foolish to pay for a lot for extra chrome I can't blame GM for doing this again.

    Anyone remember the first Denali truck that came with it's own AWD with a 6.0 on a half ton? It was something Chevy did not offer at the time and only could be found at GMC. This is what they need to do.

      @Robert Hall  Thank you.  There is now some "advertising" in hotel websites calling out a "laptop safe" when it's bigger than a regular one.  What is really off-putting is when it's a brand of hotels that should have in-room safes ... and they don't.  Or, worse yet, when the description shows that there is a safe and, then, it's not there because the website description hasn't been updated: they're either transitioning to another model or they've removed them altogether.

      When I've traveled for work in recent years, I keep my laptop with me in my backpack usually, since I'm traveling between the hotel and the office..sometimes I'll leave it in the room when I go out for dinner or drinks after work for a few hours.    Haven't seen a hotel room safe big enough for a laptop.   A couple times in the past when I've had a laptop on vacation, I put the backpack in the trunk of my car if I'm going out of the hotel for all day or something.   My most recent vacation/road trip I only took my iPad, less bulky than my laptop... I'd put my wallet and iPad in the room safe when I'd walk down to the beach w/ my phone.

      If you are in a hotel and there is a (laptop) safe in the room, you'd probably use it for your laptop if leaving the room and/or hotel for a while. If you are in a hotel without one, what do you do (with your laptop)?  I often have them pass on room service ... that's for sure.  It would be beneficial for some of you to weigh in.

      Random thoughts: Saw many German imports sporting medium enamel grey exteriors with darker red leather interiors in affluent desert communities and this combination looks nice. Was following a recent Dodge Challenger on the freeway tonight and I love that rear light bar, so I think it's the best looking of the 3 pony car rehashes. Saw an immaculate black 2007 or 2008 Cadillac DTS on the freeway tonight and they still look good, even timeless. I happened onto a dog video last night and it had "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan in it.  I read about him and he once ran a "Dog Psychology Center."  Ha. He does not have a degree in psychology, animal husbandry, or anything.  Then, L.A. douchebag groupthink shines through.  The list of celebs who used him (one refers or copies another celeb) is lengthy.  Remember when celebs were snapping up Priuses, almost as if to make a statement? About 40% of my music collection consists of African-American artists. I  notice this as I surf Bluetooth. Some of my friends joke that I was Black in a previous life.  Come on.  Some white artists - even hard rockers - are more starched than many Black artists ... smooth, earthy, sassy, passionate, gravelly, and/or powerful ... that's what I like in music and they put out some great musical tracks.   Happy Friday.
