They likely got it wrong. It's a 3-row Buick based on the Acadia wheelbase. -

@oldshurst442 The Cruze doesn't have the 2.0T in any form. It has a 1.5T. Are you thinking of the Verano which had a 2.0T? -
Peugeot Selected As Brand for PSA's Return to U.S.
Drew Dowdell replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Peugeot
We won't know for at least 15 years (another 5 to get to MY 2026 and then 10 years after that) -

VW has MQB... that underpins everything from a Golf to the Atlas. The difference there being that there is a huge difference between Golf and Atlas and nearly every car in between. A Traverse is not drastically difference from an Enclave except in interior appointments. The Acadia and XT6 are on the same wheelbase, just that the XT6 has a few extra inches of length behind the rear wheel. VW also has MLB.... that one is used in VW, Audi, Porsche, and Bentley. But those cars are drastically different from each other also. I don't mind platform sharing. I agree that Omega should have been used at Chevy and Buick as well... VSS (which is a combo of Alpha and Omega) will be. What I mind is 6+ vehicles all of nearly the same dimensions overlapping each other in price, performance, and appointments. It's part of what got GM into trouble a decade ago. -

I'll have an article up in a bit, but the long story short is that another 3-row crossover was just spied for Buick.... so now Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac will each have two versions of the platform. I'm still thinking there will be a GMC larger than the Acadia eventually and Cadillac will likely get a third version in an XT7. Ugh.... -

No, this is all Jeep/Ram/Dodge news for now. -
Hyundai News:Hyundai's Genesis Brand Unveils the G90 Flagship
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Genesis
The G90 is not S-Class level. This G90 Limo is not being sold in the US, so no, you can't buy one instead of an S-Class or Maybach -
Peugeot Selected As Brand for PSA's Return to U.S.
Drew Dowdell replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Peugeot
The difference between Fiat and Peugeot though is that Peugeot will be bringing much more mainstream and larger vehicles to the U.S.... I'm not sure Fiat is an apt comparison in this case. It's probably going to be closer to Kia who led their entry in the US with a small SUV. People in the U.S. don't want small cars... witness Fiat, Mini, Smart, and Scion. It doesn't matter the origin of the brand. -

Isuzu and Saab did instead. -

About the only saving grace on these is that at least they are making them look different. But otherwise I'm seeing a repeat of the GMT360 days. 2 Wheelbases, 3 different engines, every brand gets one.
