Vancouver International Auto Show: Chevrolet

As of late, General Motors has been working to revamp their main family haulers, focusing more on large crossovers than traditional mini-vans. The significant sibling-products of this change include the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook, and now, as seen at the Vancouver International Auto Show, the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. Although some may accuse GM of 'badge engineering' once again, the dissimilarities stem much further than the logo exhibited on the grille; each of these four vehicles has its own flavour, even if they have the same spirit. Spiriting the 2009 Traverse is the familiar 275 horsepower 3.6-litre V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel-drive.
