I am amazed by the real life size of this vehicle. It's not unusual to see them in the affluent neighborhoods of brookline and 'metrowest.' The seating is so low, the passengers look like shrunk people looking out over the windowsills and over the steering wheel, it is that odd of a size. It seems as long and hearse-like as the last generation Roadmaster, Caprice, VistaCruiser wagons form GM...only a lot higher.
The styling of the GL can't carry the add-on tricks without looking cheap. It struggled in it's massive shape in base form, to just succeed as quirky and door stop clean. But this cladding and blackout look is too cheap a trick for a car of this size.
Of all the tricked out aftermarket SUV's/crossover, I still think the Chevy Traiblazer SS is the cleanest, most elegant design out there after the ridiculously priced new Range Rover. It is a scorcher of a drivetrain too. The interior of the SS is really lacking, unfortunately.
