The side profile looks awful. Front and rear are too busy looking.

 

[SaberOne]

Definitely not my style as the exterior looks so much like everything else. The interior does look luxurious, but all of that charm goes out the window when I contrast that to the price tag. Even if I could afford something like that, it wouldn’t be this.

If they could only make it look MORE like a Land Rover..........

 

[JeffKeryk]

$130K? Sheesh. I wonder if it will be profitable? What about the Hummer EV? Did that ever get going? Somewhat similar market, I imagine.

I love it! I'll take 5 of 'em!

*I'm not following BITOG protocol of hating all new things

Everything from GM is always 2 years away.

If it’s going to be this stupid big anyway, can I just have the V8?

 

[TumblrDucks]

I heard this thing weight 9000lbs. It's BIG.

 

[Torrid]

I heard this thing weight 9000lbs. It's BIG.

Yeah I just don’t want that hitting my 3,100lb hatch.

GM is the king .. of announcing new models and selling 5 of them

If it’s going to be this stupid big anyway, can I just have the V8?

Yes. The V8 versions aren’t going away.

 

[Torrid]

Yes. The V8 versions aren’t going away.

I’m not buying either to be fair, but if I buy something this big and stupid charging legitimately becomes a problem. I’ll gladly pay for gas at sub 20mpg for ease of fueling instead.

 

[Torrid]

$130K? Sheesh. I wonder if it will be profitable? What about the Hummer EV? Did that ever get going? Somewhat similar market, I imagine.

At the small amount that will likely be available it’ll probably sell at a significant premium like the Hummer EV.

 

[OVERKILL]

The IMAX on the dash is a bit over the top. I thought the two screens on the bimmers was a lot, but this makes that look conservative

and the Tesla Cyber truck? going on 5 years of talk...
I think GM just announced this one and will be available next year, and not in 3 years.

Another vehicle that will be pulling out of driveways of the 5% (or less) Good for GM and the Americans building them.

 

[alarmguy]

Yes. The V8 versions aren’t going away.

Correct, GM spending 600 millions dollars on it new V8 engine plant for large vehicles/SUVs
Gasoline in the end is going to win for now and the future.

Maybe they should make it look more like a 59 Caddy

Your sounding old fashion
But then Taylor Swift (who is a good person so I dont mean this negative) and friends wouldnt buy one, though I suspect many stars will be able to make a "statement" with this one.
