Most of the new vehicles look the same these days. Consumers should look at milege, reliability, price, and build quality instead.

i don't see where the simmilarity is that much...the acrchs are more pronounced on the chevy, the door lines are different as are the character lines. IF you are nit picky...you could say that even benz stole the ideas from mitsubishi(see a montero for archs)and toyota/rav4/honda crv.
I like the chevy better....alot better

Hell all the cars look the same nowadays anyway. Almost impossible to tell them apart. Even BMWs and P cars looks like Japanese cars.
There is no inviduality anymore.

Funny, a lot of the same people that are bashing Chevy for making an SUV that looks like an MB SUV, salivate over the copies of MB that Toyota turns out every year...

80's drive train - chassis technology and plagiarized styling. It is clear the recovery money isn't going into design and development.
