No Dean1, you didnt hit a nerve. I am not a passionate GM guy. I just hate speculative bullshit. Well known problems that nobody knows about. See Mr Parson's thread.
I bought the collie because here in thailand most of the these SUVs came with rear drum brakes and no GPS. I got a better deal too. The competition came from Toyota Fortuner, rear drums , no GPS and total bullshit folding third seat. , Isuzu Mux10 I thought was not so hot with very vague steering, rear drums and no GPS. and Mitsubishi what ever, Just too ugly for me. Drove all of them and the Collie had the best feel to me. Sure its not a perfect vehicle, but its very capable and proven to be reliable so far. No rattles or vibrations. Its now one year old and I see all the others have caught up in some departments. Toyota has discovered 6 speed autos too, lol. If I was to buy now, who knows.
