Go for the GMC Envoy. If a Rainier slipped out from under you, maybe it wasn't meant to be (glass is half empty). Or, if another one became available, maybe it was meant to be (glass is half full). Ok, so back to the topic: - GMC still sells that vehicle...Rainier is discontinued...and that model name probably gets a "huh" from those not as familiar with vehicles as the people on this forum - white is safer at night...and doesn't fade - 10,000 miles is not much difference...everything has "seated" by now - the 4.2 I6 is, as you say, thirsty...however, it has supposedly held up ok over the long haul (learn something new every day: never knew it was called Atlas, though I do remember Vortecs)...but, considering the Jeeps for a second, all the 6s in those vehicles also consume a lot of fuel Let us know what you decide, or if you are going to pass on both.

That's great...on the road for 21 years, and in the northern tier of the U.S. no less! Really sorry about the cat, even though I'm more of a dog person. They do stuff like that...crawl up into a wheelwell and "make a nest." I just remembered...that really nice bucket seat equipped Regal with a trestle shifter might have been called the Regal S/R. There may have even been a Century version of it. Even though I really liked that 231 c.i. V6, it would have been nice if Buick also offered the Olds 260 V8 in this car, seeing that Pontiac offered it in the equivalent LeManses. Thanks for the trip down "memory lane."

Be safe. I am sure you will see a lot of things, so use good judgment! Echoing what the others said, THANK YOU!
