Thoughts ?

my first thought is they are going to make another Tracker. but calling it a "Trax". I dont see a manual option. unless i over looked it


looking at car and driver it says this "Slated to be sold just about everywhere but the U.S"

The reviewer mentioned the resemblance with the vibe which I agree with . And yes you can get it with a manual and awd together . This is only available in Canada for now . I might actually go Try one .

Are you sure manual and AWD are available together?

I thought theenico said no in the AWD swap thread

Thats good to hear. if you test one out let us know. i owned 4 89-98 Trackers and i think we need more small SUV options. I also see what you mean about looking like a vibe.

You are right the manual is only available in the base ls fwd . I was hopping to go try out a 1.4 t manual awd , oh well .

all cars/trucks should be manual. Lol I can dream can't I

I agree , I hate automatics except for a few newer Bmws I drove .

Looks like the same as a Buick Encore, just rebadged with some panel changes to be a Chevy.

I agree, that is what the US rendition of that platform will be.

I agree with its resemblance. . Very familiar. Also I really disliked the encores granny front end but loved the body style. The trax is the answer to that problem!

I just wish the Encore were a little cheaper...very nice, good quality, nice style, AWD FTW, but just a little pricey...if they offered a Chevy version here, hopefully it would be cheaper, but then again, it would probably be cheaper interior quality than the Buick and...one thing I really like about the Buick's...QuietTuning...if I could afford it, I'd get the Encore over a Sonic...would keep it to just a tune, intake, maybe exhaust, and then an audio system integrated with the factory head unit.

It's a trade off because I'd spend more for a vehicle and have more luxury/comfort and spend less in aftermarket VS spending less on the vehicle, but trying to turn it into a mini racecar.
