e-brake is a requirement for the automatic braking safety feature, so that's why you're probably seeing it on the upper models at GM.

interesting you say that. I've noticed a drop in MPG and I almost want to say performance on the Encore when I switched from the Continentals to Goodyear Triple Treads. It's been a while since the switch-over, but it is still noticeable. If I keep it long enough, I may go back to the Continentals. Light snow traction on the Triple-Treads has been excellent for an all-season tire though.

nudging back to Hyundai and design distinction. I wonder what Hyundai designer Peter Schreyer thinks of this. He's the one responsible for giving Genesis a more Audi styling and where most of the criticism originates that the Koreans are just trying to copy the Germans (they're not, they got a German designer).

Oh I think it'll sell okay. It's basically a re-body of the XT5 and Acadia, so they don't need to sell it in huge numbers. I'm just getting frustrated with GM's insistance on packaging their vehicles this way. I want the extra safety equipment, particularly active cruise-control. GM is pushing me towards Honda and Toyota as a customer.

I know they're 3-rows, but the Highlander and Pilot both come with the active safety features at much lower prices. On both, they are standard.... on the RAV4 they are standard, on the CR-V they're standard on the EX and above. Ford Edge comes with Co-Pilot 360 standard. On the CX-9, it's a $1,290 option available on the base model. With all of those heavy hitters on either side of the segment, it's odd that Chevy continues to choose to bring a knife to a gun-fight with under-equipped vehicles.

put in your VIN to make sure it's exactly right

The difference will be in the size of the sausage.

I like it a lot better than the Benz or Audi equivs. It has almost as much presence as a Navigator.

Sexy enough looks and I think they could do it.
