Then again, the Chevrolet version is essentially the same but with different (and to my eyes more attractive) styling outside and the same nicely done interior.

Thanks for testing the 4-cylinder version. I’ve been interested in hearing how this setup performs and if it’s really capable of meeting the EPA fuel-economy numbers.

While on a business trip recently, I had a new Ford Focus as a rental and, in mostly highway driving I averaged just a tick below 30 mpg over a week. For GM to essentially meet this figure with a bigger, heavier, and perhaps more practical vehicle is fairly remarkable. The Focus with an automatic transmission was no speed demon, either.

The GMC Terrain is one of the ugliest vehicles ever to come from an auto manufacturer. It looks like a brick on wheels, with what one newspaper reviewer recently described as a window air conditioning unit hanging on the front end.
