I want a discount price because GM isn't paying Australian wages anymore.

[luckdingwong]

Did I hear 46k top of the line? They will sell 3 I bet

It’s really nice! Finally coming into current times! Can’t wait for the rebadged GMC Acadia!

[cameronvanhooft]

Never buy one, quality is horrible though some people say its ok and the resale value is horrid

[greensocks]

I remember looking at one of these in the showroom a little while back and muttering under my breath "oh dear" . Would have to be the most un-exciting new car I've seen for years. Remember the Holden Vectra ? Exactly. We bought a new Mazda CX-5 diesel .

EQUINOX will be Pace Car at Stock Car tomorrow! Take a look:

[JECS]

Buy that and you might as well tip your money down the toilet. It may drive well, but Holden has reputations damage, no matter what Holden do, they will be a bit player in the market. In short, do not buy there are better SUV’s for the same money.

[soundknight]

It's not a Holden, it's a GM

[firefightergoggie]

Stop saying "Holden has done a really good job"
Holden hasn't done anything. It's a GM car... designed and built in either the USA or Europe.

[HALWG]

Why doesn't GM just drop the Holden name and call them Chevrolets?

[utetv]

If this counts as impressive, look elsewhere.

[hsvcommodore]

Presenting: The worlds Most boring car!

[RicardoMNogueira]

I do not know why GM still names these CHEVROLET cars as HOLDEN now that HOLDEN does not make more cars does not make sense anymore. The whole world (including Brazil) knows that this vehicle is a CHEVROLET. Why is GM fooling consumers by putting the name HOLDEN on it? The HOLDEN brand would look better on gas stations now.

[soundknight]

Looks like a boring Kia blimp mashed with an ugly Nissan Xtrail - and they were already ugly cars!

[miguelmares]

I can get the same car in the USA for $25, 500 top of the line model
