Wash Post Torrent Review

After this (great interior), why did GM resort to mediocrity in their latest Impala?

Oops, I mean interior-wise. It's just so drab and dreary...

I was just buggin' ya! Everyone has different opinions. While not the most futuristic interior.......I like it better then the last gen Impala or the Ford 500

Saw 2 Equi...I mean Torrents today.

There are alot of Torrents here now and it is a very nice SUV....it has a much better look than the Equinox. I guess that's the beauty of rebadging and slight design changes, you don't like one....you have something else to consider.

There's one on ebay and it is actually very impressive looking. The color combinations and photography are what GM needed when showing this vehicle.

Ebay Auction

I don't know that I would pay $27,900 for it, but a nice looking vehicle none the less.

I agree with him completely, the Torrent is great and our lifestyles are destroying the things we love the most!

There was a Torrent in a USC lot the other day. It really has a completely different presence than the Equinox. Roof rails look different, not as flush. Very attractive SUV.

I love the beige interior offered on the Torrent. I wish they had a 200hp engine standard--and if I was in the market for a small SUV, I would totally consider it.

I hope they get more power in it eventually. I would consider this vehicle.

An aside: I noticed when looking at the Pontiac website that the photo lineup they have displayed, does not include the Vibe, SV6 and GTO. I wonder if that's a hint of things to come. They are on the website, but not as hilighted as the others.

I noticed that, too, Harley. I guess it's all for the better (not including the missing GTO)?

The GTO missing, may just indicate, it's in transition...anticipating a new one. I'll bet the Vibe and SV6 van are on their way out...just a feeling...no scientific proof.;)

Is this the pic you guys are talking about? If so the GTO is there, but not the Vibe or SV6. If it's not, could you post it? I couldn't find it.

I really like this thing :)

I think that's the pic too, Northie... Probably because those are all either new or performance leaders. G6 coupe? New. Torrent? New. Solstice? Both. GTO? Performance. GP GXP? Performance. That makes sense... and I don't think I would want to highlight the SV6 or Vibe. :P

I was just confused because they said the GTO wasn't there, but the GTO is clearly there.

Saw one at a Pontiac dealer today. IT has the 16's and about 1 foot of tires to fender gapat the reat and 6' at the front. Grossed me right out. Looks like a rebadged Equinox.

oh I know what it is. But thats grossly excessive. 16's are just too small for the application.
