I didn't dare post this in general gassing for fear of talking about the mundane wink

Anyone got one of these or know much about them? I'm literally ready to buy one having test drove one. Some amazing deals on them as the new model is due soon. 4wd and seven seats with plenty of space for approx 22k. I know its not up there with the landy, xc90 etc but it all seemed pretty good to me. Just concerned of course about reliabilty. Any owners out there care to share their good or bad experiences?

No disrespect, but why is this in the Yank Motors section?

They don't even sell them over there.

Yes they do. I drove one at a Chevy (Vauxhall) dealer, they are on general sale here and have been for about 5 years.

No, no, no, silly bks, this car/SUV thing is not built or marketed in the US. Therefore your post shouldn't be in this section. GTFO.

Over there, not over here. It's no more American than all the other Daewoo/Chevy rubbish you can buy over here at your local Vauxhall dealer.
