Let me tell you guys, I’m honestly not a fan of the new platform…. I’ve done 700 miles from SLC Utah to LA… pros so far, quiet, quality is great, smooth shifting 10 speed, digital dash, big mirrors, LED headlights are awesome. Avg 22mpg doing 80mph most of the time.
Cons? Surprisingly rough ride for 18” wheels, 10 speed hunts way too much, pull button shifting was an odd choice for Chevy, brakes are horrendous, steering is numb, the center stack area is not very intuitive. It took me 10 minutes to find the hazard button lol
I’m driving 700 miles back up to SLC in a few days so I’ll see how it does in bad weather.
I know it’s a rental car with 46,000miles, but man I’ve been underwhelmed by it…. So it’s staying parked while I enjoy my Suburban till I leave again.

Yeah, good to hear. We're still enjoying our 15 LTZ, but have been considering getting either a new Burb with the diesel, or getting the Vistiq when it comes out as it should fill the niche for the wife's car, while keeping the current Suburban as our spare rig and as needed large SUV. We played with a Lyriq and really liked it, but i've been looking at the interiors of the newer burbs and haven't really been sold on it, this body style has been one of my favorites
