I swear, his is so retarded, and yet they ponder out loud why they are not selling enough vehicles... I have no problem sharing platforms, but this is just rebadging and changing the interior trim from metallic plastic to woodlike plastic to regular old plastic... I mean maybe if there we different curves or shapes or seating or whatever, but in the past it has just been a new front clip and rear bumper cover... At least when Toyota, VW, etc. do it they make it less obvious (i.e. RX350 to Highlander, totally different roofline making it so that the toyota is less sleek looking, but more functional) I mean seriously guys, get a clue...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 29th 2007 10:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on REPORT: Chevy Traverse to join GM's group of Lambda CUVs]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/29/chevy-traverse-to-join-gms-group-of-lambda-cuvs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/29/chevy-traverse-to-join-gms-group-of-lambda-cuvs/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can see a place for the Buick and GMC to be there, but the Chevy and Saturn versions can't coexist. <br>They are supposed to be the cheap models and the Saturn starts at $27,900.
