i don't buy cars based on the interior.. if i did then i would be sitting in a Rolls or A.martin right now but would have to make a sacrifice in terms of performance....Otherwise i've found the leather and electronics in my GM cars excellent....Other than the radio the other electronics or fancy halogen headlights are such a waste of time

Quite well. Motor Trend doesn't give "car of the year" to a shit box. Go look up the Malibu. You're such a car snob...
How's that Treg that you have? in the 3 years that i've had my TB, I've been to service 0 times. How many times have you had your Vdub in to service? yeah.... that's what i thought....

Some people only care about the interior even if the car is heavy and you need a v8 to get reasonable performance.

I'm surprised that Mercedes is so high on the JD Powers list - # 4

0 times, the one time was due to a clogged sunroof from offroading, any other questions?

30k miles and zero issues

And I must remind you of that Trailblazer's AMAZING crash test protection, see below, good job GM!

Now compare with the Treg and X5...

SJ,

If by fancy halogen headlights you are referring to xenon's, I couldn't disagree more.

I've had Xenon's on every car I have owned since my 2000 Audi S4 and absolutely LOVE them.
One of the things that irks me the most when I drive my 97 Porsche 911 is that it doesn't have Xenon's/Litronics. It's the difference in night vision between seeing beautiful blue light, or ugly yellow light.
It's like watching TV in standard definition instead of high definition...

It makes such a difference on a car...
