And everything still works too.

It’s a pity I have no use for an SUV, at $2000 with 150k on the clock, it’s extremely tempting. Only issue is a CEL, but I earned my mechanic teeth on the Atlas engine so it’s NBD.

But it’s so frickin’ cool.

I don’t think I’d have that level of control, always thought tho se were a great idea.

As I told someone on the FP, I miss it when GM would sprinkle in some fun ideas into their lineup, even if it was rather obvious they weren’t going to change the world. The XUV, the TB-SS, quadrasteer, the H3/H3 pickup, the Vue redline... GM used to have some proper flagbe arer s in their SUV lineup. Now all we get is the new blazer.....and a "redline" trim package for the equinox.

Could just import a FSR Tarpan from Poland? They did the whole ‘sliding rear wall/pickup bed’ thing way before GM did :P

It kind of makes no sense though, you open the roof but there should be a tough truck style tailgate so you can actually use that space.

And it had a tailgate, the swing door makes no sense.

It does operate as a standard tailgate. There are two hinges and two handles. Like a Ridgeline.

those were so weird, but they would make a good parade car I suppose
