Reviews SummaryProving that a yummy-looking recipe can produce a yucky-tasting meal, the 2018 GMC Terrain is a conceptually appealing compact crossover SUV that falls apart under scrutiny in the reality of daylight. Not only that, it has lost the rugged look that used to set it apart from softer-styled competitors, and it doesn’t meet safety expectations for a brand-new design. Add a questionable value equation, and it’s difficult to recommend a GMC Terrain. | |
Reviews SummaryCadillac was named after the founder of Detroit. It's the second oldest vehicle manufacturer in the United States and responsible for some of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history. But all of those icons were sedans, and this isn’t a sedan world anymore. Today, people love crossovers. More importantly, people buy crossovers. So, naturally, Cadillac sells crossovers, and the XT4 is the company's latest and smallest one. Built on the same platform as the Malibu sedan and the Buick Regal Sportwagon, the 2019 XT4 addresses a major complaint against a lot of Cadillac's offerings—that they’re just rebadged GM products. Instead, the XT4 is a brand new vehicle that hopes to shed Cadillac's reputation for badge engineering and parts-bin design. | |
