I purchased a 2012 GS with the new 6 speed automatic last week to replace a Trailblazer SS for my wife’s transportation. It has all the options including the 20″ wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires. The GS in RED is an absolutely HOT looking set of wheels.
My wife’s other choice was a CTS Cadillac . She had a 2008 CTS 3.6 AWD two years ago. I feel that the GS has more than enough power. Come on guys ,none of the other cars I read about in this post will do 162 MPH and get 27 MPG. Just to give you some idea of my experience with performance cars, my other car is a C6 Corvette set up for track. My home track is The Glen. I just returned from the Katech Track Attach at the Autobahn Country Club with my Vette. I am a member of Trackmasters, CHIN, BMW CCA, NASA & PCA.
Granted the 0-60 et is not the GS’s forte . I do not think that is what the GS is all about. From my experience with performance cars the GS is one great road car.
