Comments
Mostly trivial, but I like the new color additions. Still no infotainment upgrades WTH.
This lil’ Trax is a hot seller along with its sister the Encore . GM is starting to add some luxury to its Trax moving it a bit more upscale . GM ” REALLY ” needs to get its $hit together and launch a Cadillac version . And I dont mean a rebadged one either . By the time it comes to market there wont be much of the pie left as other automakers are joining the a game . My neighbor has an Encore and its a sweet looking CUV . So , while we wait on Cadillac , Buick will continue to sell lots of them along with the Trax . It would be cool to see the Trax come in a couple of special editions like Chevy is now doing withe their trucks . JM .02 .
can’t read the article because the annoying add video scrolls to itself, and won’t let me scroll away from it SO ANNOYING
hoping for the diesel model, its in europe, and the cruze is the same set up, bring it!
How about making the Trax a convertible. I miss my old Geo Tracker Convertible, that was a great car to cruise around.

Same here… 2015 and love it… want to get another one!
