We have a 07 purchased brand new. Its a great lil truck. This looks great

next question al- why is the vue heavier?

Different platform. Vue is on some European Theta platform, while the Nox is on Theta 2.
There are 3-4 variants of the platform out there...

the new nox is gonna be awesome. i can't wait to see it at the car show. they really did address every complaint i can think of about my vue. for example:

1. road and wind noise (i assume they fixed this, no new car could get away with being that loud)
2. small gas tank (15.5 vs 21, and not to mention better efficiency)
3. brakes (nox has 4 wheel discs)
4. crappy interior (duh)

My mom is looking currently at getting the new Vue or the Ford Edge, but I told her to hold out for this. Im gunna show her pics of it today.


Also, here is a sweet teaser video of the new SRX on GM's Black Lake

yup. i saw that on autoblog. interesting PR if you ask me. there was alot of complaints about the new SRX being based on the vue, but i admit that it would be pretty cool to see a theta SRX and a lambda Escalade. if they could pull it off to still retain its gangster image, i think it would make a good lineup for caddy.

a black caddy with some tints will always be gangsta!

both the nox and that caddy look sweeet

The Vue's platform, the Nox, and the SRX are all on different platforms. Theta-Epsilon, the platform that the SRX and 9-4 will sit on, is different in driving aspects, handling, feel and ride.

Problem is that the current SRX is on a very well planted RWD based Sigma platform. It handles well, and its upgraded interior is sharp, but thats about all it does well. Sales are dismal, so IMO, the SRX going to a FWD-ish based platform should be a bit more of a sales success as customers come to see the more fitting CUV style instead of that kind-of-a-wagon, tall-like-an-suv, current SRX.

i hear the old SRX was one of the few great GM cars that never caught on. i think what killed it was the engine choices. the V6 was underpowered and had awful gas mileage. the v8 was expensive and had even worse gas mileage.

i want a nox. i don't think its any secret at this point

I like the bowtie in the brake lights of the 'nox.

Chevy seems to be doing that with a lot of their stuff these days. I remember seeing the bowtie on the headlights of the new Malibu too....
