Both new models eliminating the V-6 engine is a deal breaker for me.
Colorado or Canyon?

Why? I think the 2.7 turbo-4 is a better engine than the 3.6 v6. I’m not saying the 3.6 is bad, but this new engine was designed for trucks while I always got the impression the 3.6 was a family car engine put into a truck because it’s what they had floating around.
You just went from like a 50k truck to a 90k+ truck in five seconds
Happens. My daughter tried out a Diesel Canyon a few years ago and found the rear facing baby seats wouldn’t fit. We had already decided on the color, and the only full size in graphite metallic, dark slate metallic in GMCs, was a 3500 Diesel High Country.
I like the 2.7L. I think it's a great engine. The LGZ (not LFX) is also very good, but I think the drivetrain has been improved with Gen3.
Same goes for the Acadia and other vehicles built on the same platform.
The 2023s will be known as the last of the good ones.
Now we’re stuck with turbo 4s running on two cylinders half of the time, shutting off at every stop sign, making everyone behind you late for work and probably fake AI generated engine noise coming through the speakers and running on 0W20.
Complexity is the enemy of reliability. Have at it.

Not really factual so not sure if serious.
After three tries they finally got the bolt pattern on the wheels right, I’ll hand them that.
Don't be afraid to travel for the right deal!
Gotta do that!
Waiting for pictures..........
