My girlfriends dad has a 2014. I hate its fog lights.
This is an LTZ, top trim as far as I know, and at a glance it looks like it has fog light blanks. I means seriously, just give them lenses instead of a plastic surround. The chrome surround doesn’t help, I find it to be outweighed by the presence of black plastic trim, which always means lower trim spec in this location. It’s totally sunken down too, you can only see there’s a foglight from a few angles if they’re not turned on. Weird rant, and 99% of the public won’t notice or care. If they even know what foglights are. I just think it’s really lazy, and I would expect better on an optioned out car/crossover/thing.
On the other hand, I quite like the wheels. They aren’t chrome, they aren’t overly large with low profile tires, or completely overstyled. They’re just handsome and get the job done. GM has been good at wheels in the past, it’s good to see the whole “fake plastic chrome all the things” is going away. Also the rear doors are very stiff. Like borderline hard to open. I don’t have any other comments on the Traverse, it’s really just “An crossover”

At least the recent ones look a lot better than the previous generation ones. I get an irrational feeling of hatred whenever I’m behind one in traffic - kinja won’t let me link images at work, but even if I could, I don’t want to because I fucking hate it. This one isn't so bad apart from the fake black plastic grille/surrounds as you pointed out.

Some BMW ones piss me off, a pal has a first gen Z4 and it has some pathetic letterbox style lenses. Round or properly rectangular please.

My coworker has a 2013 base model Traverse and it is roomy and comfortable but unbelievably cheap feeling compared to its rivals.

I haven’t been in any of the rivals, but supposedly in some convoluted way, it’s the successor to my S10 Blazer, and it’s waay better quality than mine haha
