Avalanche!

Wow! It appears some people were personally offended by the Chevy Avalanche Review. I had no Idea anyone could take something from PopeAlien.com so seriously - you did see the buggy-eyed guy with a cross on his head up above didn't you?

Regarding your review of the Chevy Avalanche, it is obvious you do not have a family(by that I mean have less than two kids), do not participate in any outdoor activity that requires you to use bikes, kayaks, or other things that people should enjoy while living in a big place such as North America, and you pay people to do your home renovation or summer deck projects. While some people, maybe like yourself, feel intimidated by the task of driving the Avalanche around town because they are more used to regular sedans, after driving a van and a large sedan ever since I got my licence, I have no problems driving or parking the Avalanche around downtown Vancouver.

So just like any type of car, the Avalanche just require skills and practice to drive. Car companies are formed by people who want to make money and people don't make money from making a product that they know no one could drive or park (without rolling over those civics or crowds of school children and the ensuing lawsuits). Also, while some deluded people that you know might, there are still those like myself who buys car/trucks for their utility, not to "intimated" my next door neighbour or roll over civics or crowds of school children.

I'm not saying you should change your opinion of the Avalanche (though I think you should think twice talking about people buying cars to roll over crowds of school children), I just think you should at least acknowledge that you have a bias towards big cars/trucks because you have no personal needs for them. Just because you can't find a need for a particular car (I personally don't see why we need 350hp Corvettes that go up to 155mph when the speed limit's 110 on highways) doesn't mean that car companies should stop making them for other people that do find needs for them.

Mm.. Actually I've been able to get around on my bike without an Avalanche OK so far... My main unmentioned complaint about the Avalanche is the lack of REALLY BIG WHEELS. That would be really cool.

I own the 3/4 ton version of the Avalache with the big block and am more than happy with this vehicle. We also have a 94 Suburban that we use to haul our 30 foot travel trailer. The Avalanche with room and power to spare will now be used to pull the trailer which we get much enjoyment out of. I don't agree at all with your review of the Avalache but I figure that you must be one of those Yuppy City Slickers who don't even support the American Auto Worker. I suppose if you live in the big city smaller is better so just review the vehicles that fit your life style and you might produce one good review. You people are unbelievable.

Respectfully Yours,
A Very Happy Avalanche Owner

 

Good Lord! What are you people... Nomadic? I'm trying to picture an Avalanche towing a 30ft travel trailer. The avalanche definately has the power for it.. but I still think it would be cooler with REALLY BIG WHEELS.

Hmm.. You might be right though.. I am a Yuppy City Slicker, and I have been known to enjoy a bowl of granola now and then. You'd probably prefer this review of the Avalanche, although it does mention the fact that the avalanche is assembled in Mexico.. Lot of American Auto Workers there?
