    Pontiac Torrent

    GM bashers, go ahead and stop reading now. . .

    Right now, GM is having a 72 hour, 0% financing for 72 months deal. Plus I get the GM family discount.

    So today I looked at the Torrent. With some of the problems my car has had lately, I am most likely going to buy this weekend.

    Here is a pic of it.

    I worked with a woman that really likes her Equinox. 'Course, she's a 3 kid havin' soccer mom... not sure if that's the vibe you're going for.

    This is the same as the Equinox, except it has a few different features.

    I know - that's why I wrote of the woman with the Equinox.

    Re: Pontiac Torrent

    You said you didn't want a car payment! Don't make an impluse buy....they're having this deal through July 5th (if they don't extend it). So, if you're sure you want this vehicle and the payment that goes with it, shop it at the various Pontiac dealers and get the best deal you can. You don't HAVE to buy it this weekend.

    But if you do, can I smell it?

    Actually, with my GM discount, I don't have to haggle. I'll get about $5k off the top with incentives and the discount when it's all said & done. Then I'll add my trade in. I know exactly which one I want too.

    Yes Lil, it is exactly like the Equinox (same frame, body, etc), except they stylized it a little differently.

    Thanks for blowing off my sound advice.

    Re: Pontiac Torrent

    Did Pontiac ever fix that cooling problem they had back in the 80s? Myself and every other Pontiac owner I knew had chronic engine overheating.

    I had a 92 Grand Prix for a long time, and one problem it didn't have was overheating.

    I've had mine 9 years and no overheating.
