I realized this week that I have a bit of a hard on for the GMC Terrain, especially in the Denali trim. I was even looking through the GMC web site and nodding my head through each of the videos.
You know what the best feature is of the Denali that they don’t talk about? No black cladding. It’s there, but it’s body colored. Best you can hope for.
I like the interior a lot too. I’m not sure where this came from. I just saw one on the street, and there you go.

Fight the darkness!!!!!!
Just kidding. Do your thing. I never thought I'd like a Ford Flex but hot dang if the limited twin turbo version doesn't interest me enough to know what kinda prices they're running right now. Maybe I make that my next The One you Want piece.

I’d prefer cladding to that chrome I think. I don’t mind a little chrome, but that’s way more than I need.

Late night confession: we all know I’m a roundel shill, but there are few things I love in life more than mid- 70s to mid-90s Mercedes. If I could, the Passat would be gone tomorrow and you’d find something like a W123 230E or W140 S320 in its place.

Well, at least you don’t do meth.
Just kidding, the Terrain seems like a perfectly alright vehicle.

I actually like the chrome grille. Yes, now you understand the depths of my depravity.

They’re sweet SUVs since they shrank them. I would totally rock one over a Passport or Pilot. I’m guessing they’re priced more like an MDX, though. Still a solid choice.

You ever seen a grown 200 pound man speaking in different high pitched voices to himself for seven hours while sitting on a toilet? I have. Skip the meth.

User name checks out.
Yes, I think you’re right. And that’s the word I think of for GMC, solid.

Perhaps you’re right. The GMC is less expensive.

I thought the Terrain was always the smaller CUV?

I find chrome just looks “tacky” on pretty much every new/newer vehicle. It just always seems haphazardly thrown in to add “Class”.

Maybe the meth is why the Terrain looks appealing....

It’s okay.
Publicly I hate trucks, but out of all the cars in the ford configurator, I’ve spent the most time building F150s

The Terrain is the same thing as the Chevy Equinox. It’s a small/medium CUV.
The Acadia is the one that shrank. It used to be the same size as the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave but now it’s on a shorter version of that platform (along with the Cadillac XT6).

The Terrain seems...fine. A loaded up Denali stickers at $43 k which isn’t too pricey for what you get. It’s about $5k less than a comparably equipped Acura RDX, for example. But the same options can be had for $8 k less in a Kia Sportage or $ 5k less than in a Mazda CX-5.

Does the mean we’re breaking up? It didn’t mean anything to me, honest. I just fantasized about spending some time with one in the back seat.

Yep. And I’m a fan of both Kia and Mazda. This car has a very different aesthetic, and so appeals to a different part of me. I was driven around once on vacation in my cousin’s big GMC. It felt like I was in a big, formidable, luxurious tank. Kind of intoxicating in its own way. I think this smaller version injects a dose of that feel for me in a more manageable package. I probably wouldn’t buy it, but I appreciate it.

Oh shit, you’re totally right! I was definitely thinking the Acadia, which is now very nice. I don’t know a thing about the Terrain except that the old one was awful . I almost got one for a rental but I took one look at the interior and ran. The trunk could fit like one suitcase because it had a massive, cheap, hard plastic shelf on either side.
