Chevrolet's Mini Crossover Is Making Trax To The Great White North

As TTAC’s official reviewer of all things “emerging market cast-offs sent to Canada”, I’ll be busy again in Q4 2012, when I get my hands on a Chevrolet Trax.

While General Motors American arm said that “…because of the strong position of the Equinox, there are no plans to introduce the Trax in the U.S. market…”, the Trax is a no brainer for Canada. And isn’t it so much more attractive than the gawky, pencil-eraser-proportioned Encore? I’m personally interested to see how different the interior is from the Buick and Opel version.

    Totally agree. I used to really like the offset grille emblem of the mazda. Then they got this stupid flying bird thing. I'm not even going to comment on the ridiculous happy face grille. Give me a break!

    Once again we don't get a car that would sell well here, GM don't you ever learn?

      @mike978 So the Buick will be in the same range of the BMW X1. Soon to be joined by the Audi Q1 or Q3.

    Is there a problem with this site? I thought over the weekend that it was my laptop, but three different computers at work, and now my wife's laptop are experiencing the same issue - there's a total of three editorials and no sidebar menu.

      Same here. I only see three articles at a time, with no page forward. I'm thinking I clicked on a wrong button or something. I've tried different computers also - same results.

    Oh Infiniti, I take it all back! This Trax is one ULF, complete with a grille and hood tall enough to house a Detroit Diesel bus engine, and dinky little rear wheels stuck out to dry in the wind. Akward doesn't begin to describe the way this thing looks, and the Encore looks even more stilted. Where have all the professional stylists gone, for goodness sake? A good sidewind would blow these things over!
