   Sad that GM is already having to offer a lease on these to try and get them moving, because they are not going to admit they made a mistake going to suck a small engine in a large vehicle, then telling the public it has adequate power. I can also this vehicle loaded down with 5 adults and cargo, would definitely sound like it’s struggling at all, let alone the fact that mpg will suffer significantly also

      Creig: This has nothing to do with the engine. It has everything to do with pricing. This is just too high priced like nearly all of them. GM and others have gotten too greedy and increased the pricing to the point of ridiculous. So the safest way to move the vehicles is through incentives and/or attractive leases. However, to me, a $400 a month lease (with tax) and with nearly $5,000 out of pocket is not an attractive lease. And that’s on a more basic front drive model before any extra options. The realistic payment for a well optioned AWD will still be 5 grand out of pocket with a much higher payment or more out of pocket. Foolish money spent for what?

      And don’t forget that’s with the lowest miles at 10,000 per year. Going with 12K or 15K will just drive it higher. And then there’s gas, and upkeep, and insurance. Vehicle prices are just out of control.

         I agree with the overall comments, but most people don’t want a vehicle of that size with such a small engine. It’s noisier and your not likely to feel the torque unless you’re getting into it pretty good.

            Understood how you feel. But BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and so many more have proof otherwise.

            You have zero idea on the demographics for these vehicles, they aren’t car enthusiasts. Most have zero idea what engine size is in their vehicles, they are for soccer moms. All them know is why type of gas to put it in and that it moves around well under power. It has peak torque at 3500 RPM and 90% at 1500 and spooks quick, you feel the torque early which you can’t say about the 3.6.

            You mention struggling, did the 3.6 struggle with 5 people? This has a TON more torque much lower, it won’t struggle. It has reviewed well minus the sound. In a heavy vehicle you want torque, this has it in spades. Stop putting out false info to try and affirm your dated narrative. You can easily build a smaller motor to last, they just over build it like this and the 2.7, they are built like diesels.

            Just the sound it makes doesn’t sound premium, but that is only at higher revs, which with the abundance of torque it doesn’t need to do to make power unlike the 3.6. It gets better mpg than the 3.6 (the 2.7 has been showing to exceed its mpg rating in the real world in most cases). So stop with the dated thinking that a smaller motor is worse, they are actually better as they save fuel and with turbo charging can make a much broader power band with a ton more torque. Plus they aren’t as impacted by altitude and they are easily tuneable for more power if you so wish.

            Really wish some of these statements on here can be vetted for incorrect info, you keep hearing from old guys on the smaller motors giving false info and that misleads those who might not be car guys and informed and think it is actually true when in fact that is 100% not the case. So just have to correct it as you go along it seems like ms craig here…

         Leasing new is an expensive option compared with purchase. Too many people get sucked into a lease by only looking at the monthly payment. Purchase with an incentive is cheaper in the long run, but many people are impatient and financially ignorant.

            Mel: It’s just not that easy. I’ve been in this business for 28 years now. I’ve worked with most GM brands, Honda, Chrysler brands and now Volvo and Mazda. Point there is that all companies do things differently and the lease on one brand can be terrible, but the next brand can have an outstanding lease.

            There are many factors that go into it, but overall leasing is the better way to do things. This is especially true with the higher end luxury brands where depreciation is higher. Me personally, I’ve leased 4 or 5 cars over the years because it was smarter. But the majority of my cars have been purchases since the lease was so bad (such as my current Chevy Bolt EV). So no. Leasing is not an “expensive” option compared to purchase. It all depends and it’s up to the buyer to factor out which is best for them. But!!!! I will say this. If a buyer is leasing just so that they can afford a vehicle that is really out of their budget, then that is not good.
