...Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are replacements for older GM models that have failed to dislodge the competition in growing market segments. The SRX, for example, is aimed at a segment virtually invented by Lexus with vehicles such as the highly popular RX330. It offers a contemporary exterior design, a well-appointed interior and improved fuel economy that GM hopes will give buyers sitting on the fence ample reason to select it over a competitor.

Part of it is making it fun so it does not feel like work," adds McLaughlin...

Especially in North America, I think we tend to equate square feet with happiness. We need a big house to be happy. What's interesting is it's not actually the size of a domestic space that influences how we feel there. It's the layout, the appearance, our degree of comfort...
