Yeah, what's that about? Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!! I still think used vehicle prices are way too crazy for the mileage most of these things have. A classified ad in my local newspaper running the past two weeks has a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SLE with 160k for $4,000!! Seems way too high of a price for a 12 year old car with that kind of mileage.

To be fair, nearly all of the consumer GMCs share that trait in your part of NJ & PA. True... there aren't too many off-road parks that I'm aware of in NJ. Of course those that are into fishing and hunting take their trucks off road into the wilderness and out onto the beaches of the Jersey shore, and I know plenty of guys that fit that bill (like most of the guys that volunteer at the fire house ). My cousin grew up in western PA and trucks were (and likely still are) a big part of life for hunting reasons. Again, I don't knock the GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox for what they are. However, they are not off-road vehicles (not true truck-like vehicles) and GM sucks in this area (so do a lot of other manufactures). Growing up with a lot of 4WD GMC S-15 Jimmy's and S-10 4WD pickups in the neighborhood, it's hard to adapt to the new world of AWD CUV-glorified wagons. Watch the video of the Austrailian Chevy Colorado7 that ocnblu posted in the Chevy Truck forum and you'll understand what I miss in GM's stable. GM is just handing Jeep the off-road market and cares not to re-enter this area. Hummer was a great start for GM - maybe the blinged out H2 was not the right first product, but the H3 lineup was making a statement. I was praying GMC was going to adapt an "All Terrain" lineup (to compliment the Denali "urban" lineup) that would have brought the Hummer hardware to the GMC brand. I guess I'm disappointed that didn't happen and hate to see GMC offer so many on-road vehicles with their great heritage of true, off-road capable models. I'll leave this conversation on that point. Hopefully the new Sierra and Yukon lineup will bring back the off-road prowess GMC was knonw for in the past (and with the future Canyon too).

Link: craigslist Very, very tempting - that's one of my top two-tone color combinations, and the fact it has the blue cloth interior tops it off. The mileage though... 191k. Any info about the durability of this year's engine and trans?

This - I agree 100%. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the GMC Terrain as a CUV. I'm hating on the name, as it implies something more. I wish GMC would have reserved it for something more suited for that name (actually, I wish they didn't use it at all and kept it for a true All Terrain package for their full-size pickups and SUVs). Acadia, Denali, Yukon are all national park names. As such, maybe they should have used that theme and went with Coronado, Glacier, Appalachian, or Saratoga? All are US national parks!! Hell I'd even say call it Rainier - how many people would remember the Buick outside of auto enthusiasts?

Fixed.

I was expecting "hoop" since I wrote "hula" theater

So, since it looks like somebody ( ) wants to claim that '95 Tahoe, what about ROPOS? Pics? Details? Inquiring minds want to know...

Twohoes are most guy's dreams.

Very nice of you to drop by I would too if I were to be in the Illinois area

I would choose the 2012 over the 2006 design any day. While I "liked" the Charger when it debuted, the '12 version fixed a lot of issues I had with the styling and then I became a real fan of the Charger. Still, I'd take a Pontiac G8 GT over the Charger - even a 3 year old one

Nice to have you stop back in, Cort! Love that '79 Blazer poster. When at the Fall AACA show in Hershey almos two weeks ago, came across a vendor with a full-set of '75 Chevy dealership posters, including the color charts for cars and trucks and the upholstrey wheel for all models. Needless to say it was not a cheap set to purchase. Need the full story on the '89 Caprice purchase, please

Some people are a glutton for punishment I should know, I have my own downfalls too

Hey now, dfelt.... Jersey may not be perfect but it is my home state

Can't wait to see pictures of all three!

Lucky you then, In areas of NJ & PA that I travel in, mall parking lots and soccer field parking lots are where these Terrains see duty. Not saying people don't use them in the same manner, but most of the Terrains I see are never covered in mud The name Terrain means more off-road adventure than what these CUVs imply. Not saying there not capable, but they're no Yukon in off-road prowess.

What year, color and trim is the ROPOS? The same for the Tahoe (except we know it's a '95)?

It's nicknamed "Suburban Assault", which I think is perfect. I really wish GMC would have picked a better name for this than "Terrain". Terrain gives me the impression of going off-road, no holds barred type of vehicle. This CUV offering is more likely to be seen in the mall parking lot than out in the wild blue yonder I know it's been a runaway success for GMC, but I'd love to see a new, more appropriate name issued for the Gen 2 version.

This one? Link: Truckin' Took me two seconds to Google it

Yes, pretty rough off-roading in that new rig. Reminds me more of a Jeep Wrangler or Grand Cherokee commercial, not something you'd see from GM. I like it!!

Get in line bub.... Not to worry, if he were to sell it anytime in the next 3-5 years I'm sure you'd have the money first before I could even blink my eyes. Between a wife and two small children, I'm lucky to come up with $50-$100 for myself

Look at you, with your fancy borders and up-close detail shots Mine were taken at the Philadelphia Zoo on Saturday. We came out of the Lion's area and I looked up and thought that with the sun shining through made the leaves look "on fire" or lit up. I wanted to capture that look versus the detail like yours (which are great, btw). The last one is a tree in my backyard that I've been meaning to photograph - looked better about a week or so ago. I'm going to try it again, this time in the morning sunlight (different angle). Thanks dfelt! Fall is by far my favorite season (if we got more snow maybe winter would be my fav). I love the cold, crisp mornings, the warm afternoons, and the cooler evenings. Thsi year we're being treated to a nice fall season in NJ, the too-cold and the too-hot (aka Indian summer) have not been as prevailant as in the past.

Though it is not a Yukon GT 2-door, take care of this and maybe I'll be able to buy it from you in the future (not like you don't take care of your stuff ). That is when you're ready to part with it and I have cash

Attempted some fall photography over the weekend...

Okay, so I need new glasses

Well now you have a homework assignment, young man. This weekend you must: 1. Buy new batteries 2. Visit the GMC dealership 3. Take pictures of the Sierra, assuming it is still there 4. Post the pictures here This is a pass/fail grade, so make the teacher happy
