Hopefully they don't add too much new stuff for the silverado. That would make me jealous!

Doubt it, prolly just more six speed automatics.

Yea same here. I figured there won't be many as usual.

Why did I get called a name? I checked the site that has the information and there is nothing. I was trying to help you...

He just wanted to make himself feel better by insulting you. lol

[daves87rs]

[daves87rs]

Besides the Nox, this stuff should be out in the next few weeks...

Can't see anything big, though.

Ok I am SORRY. Maybe it was just my timing but it came across sarcastic. Again I am very sorry!!! Thank you for your response

[gm4life]

Thank you, I was just stunned, I am called lots of things around here but "d-bag" isn't one of them. Well I was just trying to help and I didn't know you were being sarcastic how could I?

I think he meant the way you said it came across as sarcastic. I actually saw it the same way initially, until I noticed the "edit" timestamp assuming you added the " Doubled checked, nothing." part during the edit.

That is exactly, what I did hoped onto dealer world and then put that in.

I've seen a couple of '10 Equinox on the road within the last couple of weeks. It doesn't stand out as much on the road as I thought it would in the pictures, though I do think it looks nice. I also saw a new SRX on the road. It looked better in person than it does in the pictures. One of the auto suppliers near where I work must be testing out their stuff on the new Theta's.

Lucky you...I haven't seen a Nox yet...

Granted, I've seen nearly a fleet of 2010 Fusions for quite a while...

They still got the 5.3L in that puppy?

[vonVeezelsnider]

Yeah they do.

[Daryl Z71]

Yeah they do.

I should have got one of them instead of the Silverado. Damn!

[daves87rs]

Did any colors change?

[biff]

Anyone know when 2010 info will be out for Silverado? I'm hoping for a 6.2 in extended cab configs.

That would be great. Just checked nothing is out on the Silverado for 2010 yet...

[ocnblu]

I wonder how much a mid-level Equinox LT will cost with AWD and the 4 cylinder in Navy Blue with Jet interior. Camping this weekend reminded me how nice it is to have a commodious vehicle. Who has a link to the site you guys are referencing? Edited May 25, 2009 by ocnblu

[ocnblu]

Thanks, GMTG74. I guess I'm just dreaming. When I browse the order guide, I see a lot of deletions and very few positive changes across GM's 2010 lineup.

[Mule Bakersdozen LS]

You want cavernous in a mid-size SUV? Get a Highlander or Pilot, cause Equinox tops out at 63 cubic feet, seats-down....terrible for a mid-size crossover and average for a compact, shocking considering the vastness (for the class or anything, for that matter) passenger/cargo room of the Lambda quartet.....Equinox may be stylish, but I was disappointed in the car, yes, car.

[G. David Felt]

About time they had this color: Black Granite Metallic

I just hate the basic plain black, yet black with metallic flack and a number of coats of clear to give it some depth are very beautiful in my book. I hope GM got this right.

I feel just the opposite, I want black to be black with no sparkles in it. That's why my GTO wasn't black.

[Robert Hall]

Speaking of black paint, I like matte (low gloss) or flat black. A few high end Euro models have it as an option..would love to see it more common. Low maintenance, and looks great w/ matching black wheels.

[Satty]

BMW does it right, offering the metallic black and non-metallic.

Not that it matters to me, I hate black cars, they're a bitch to keep clean. Yet I drive one.

I like black, never had one...dark blue (like my Jeep) has the same problems w/ keeping clean, unfortunately. Generally, I like dark colors more than lighter colors---dark gray, dark green, dark red, maroon, dark blue...

Black is Black

Black with Sparkles is dirty

How about black w/ Sprinkles? Dark blue w/ sprinkles definitely is dirty (bird poo on my Jeep, like frosting sprinkles on a donut...but not in a good way).

I like straight black and straight white. This trend toward metallic on every color is getting tiresome. One cool thing about the Kia Souls is the Dune color, a nice non-metallic tan. I think they will have a couple more non-metallics for that car later in the model year.

[Satty]

Pure white looks amazing on certain cars, other cars look better with a metallic white. But 90's Cadillacs look best in that pearl white color.

[Camino LS6]

I like a handful of colors in non-metallic.

Dark Navy Blue

Dark blood red

Black

British racing green

Even of that group, the only one I can't stand a metallic version of is black - it just doesn't work for me.

Black tends to look bad when it fades or gets dirty, the metallic black looks ten times worse IMHO.

There is a 35 Ford Street rod (that started out a few years ago as a very nice stock restoration) that is painted that color. One of the nicest looking cars at the local cruise ins.

The caddy's that color looked great. I normally woulkd prefer white (non metallic). But GM did an amzing job with that color.

That's the damned thing about GM and it's bi-polar nature. When they get it right, they just get it soooo right....and when they get it wrong....

...easy on the bird, he's a Hummer fan and he's allowed to express his opinion.

Here at C and G we welcome GM fans of every species.

I think the bird(s) conspires w/ the neighbor's cats. They leave pawprints and scratches on my hood.

Although I like your truck just as it is...kind of simple and business like and to the point,which IMHO is what a truck should be like.

Personally ( a little off topic ) to me I wouldn't want to add or change too much about it.

Chris

[gm4life]

I like do like black cars, but haven't owned any bitch to keep clean. Currently I own a Cranberry and Purple Pontiac's and they are a BITCH to keep clean. That is why in the past I had LIGHTER colors. My two Chevrolet's are Beige thankfully easy to keep clean looking even when they are dirty. I like metallic and non-metallic black, and the same for all colors.

[biff]

Looks like the 2010 5.3 and 6.0's get VVT and a slight HP bump. Saw it on another site but are the 5.3 numbers:

5.3
