Well, we will find out soon enough.
This would be the first time the Nox has a 4cyl under the hood, but its power rating is just about the same as the 3.4 60* V6 it replaces.
The DI'ed 3.0 and 2.4 are great news.
I dont think the price will vary that much, but a loaded one will probably get up there.

There are real live pics of the Nox. My goodness that brown color is pretty, and that interior is really really sharp.

Everyone expected this thing to grow, but it actual shrunk an inch in overal length, yet gained some width, which it needed real bad. My biggest gripe with the current one is that its very narrow looking from the rear.
Traverse

I agree. The new model is a huge improvement.

10k? Maybe a loaded Nox vs a base Enclave.
Chevy really has its own type of SUV right here. Only other CUV that fits in this segment is the Rav4, maybe the Escape. The Edge, Murano are V6 only, and geared more towards sport.
CRV, Rougue, and CX7 are 4cyl models only, yet the CX7 has that powerful turbo 4.
The Rav4 is a more civil SUV while the Escape is bit more truckish. All of them offer a 4 and 6cyl engine.
This is a really really sharp SUV. Real sharp. I cant wait to see the GMC Terrain.
The next gen Caddy SRX will be built on a bit more advanced platform the Nox, and carry some more advanced stuff. It was shown last year as that Caddy Hyrdorgen-Plug In concept.

yeah I would agree with that.
The new NOX is nice, the only thing im not too thrilled about is how every vehicle has almost the same front end. Im not saying its not sweet, but a little variety wouldnt hurt. If this was out when my mom bought her malibu she would have def bought this instead. Heck, I want one.

No. I'm thinking of the Enclave. But I do like the Traverse better than this new Equinox. I just about barf anytime I see those small SUVs like the Rav4 and Murano. Vehicles in that segment look awkwardly stuck some where between cars in the Vibe/Matrix and Traverse/Enclave segments.

I'd still go for the Enclave. For $10k more figure you're getting more room, refinement, and better styling with the Buick.

john- i know what you mean, but small SUVs are extremely useful. if you ask me, small nimble SUVs suit my driving style much better. they are still capable enough to tow my landscaping trailer and get me into the trails. these are things a car cannot do. sure a large SUV would be better suited, but then again i like to drive swiftly and park in cities, considering most grad schools i applied to are in major cities.
the point being that while a large suv is enormously (pun intended) useful, smaller SUVs are equally useful for others. i don't think i'll be shopping for a new car for a very long time, its nice to see i'll have a nice offering when i'm in the market years from now and i can purchase one of these used at a heavy discount.

In and out, totaly different cars yet they compete in the same class.
Encalve, Traverse, Acadia and Outlook are all crossover 7 passanger vehicles designed to somewhat replace or retain people jumping out of thier Tahoes, Yukons along with other large SUV's.
The Nox is, IMO, a perfect sized vehicle. It was second place to the Maxx when I was looking to get a new car.

Did GM fire the designer of the Maxx? They should have.

No, he flew to Mexico with the designers of the Aztek and the Avalanche with canvas bags full of GM's money, laughing the whole time.

Do you know who designed the Aztek?
Same guy who designed this...
and
His name is Tom Peters, and he is now in charge of all design for RWD peroformance vehicles.
And the Avalanch is a great looking truck.
