Ass10


In a reversal from the last post, this owner created a Astro van out of an S10/Sonoma pickup. Looks like he's aiming for 50's hot rod look 30 years too late.

Fiastro!


Want a pickup truck but for some reason can't afford one? Just cut off the top haphazardly with metal shears! Youngins cutting themselves on all the sharp edges? Line it with foam!

GMC Terrain


I don't really understand the GMC brand. GM has said they're saying no to brand engineering with all their products in the future, but this is the whole reason the GMC brand exists. They have no unique products - just warmed over GM trucks and SUVs. When GM killed Pontiac I was even more confused - here was a brand with unique and excellent products (the G8) with potential for growth as a performance brand, and they kill it in favour of some blinged up Chev trucks.

The Terrain is not only unnecessary, it's fugly. In addition, it's sister truck the Chevy Equinox is actually quite good looking. Compared to the Equinox, the Terrain is overstyled and exaggerated. It looks too tall. The grille is too big. The comically oversized fender extensions and square wheel arches make the wheels look tiny and the wheel gap huge.

If there's a good side to all of this, at least we won't see it rehashed as a Saturn and/or a Pontiac.
