i think it is nice overall. it might need better tires since the truck has lots of power.
dedicated summer and winter tires will be needed. no sense of having all that power if there is no traction.

Wife has it, I drive it all the time and love it...
But, it does have traction issues.
It's not like it skids or anything, but that one second it takes for the AWD to kick in is a strange feeling in an SUV.
I put winter wheels and tires on it b/c I don't think the all-seasons it comes with are up to dealing with snow.
I've been driving Audi's since 1999 and there is nothing like Quattro AWD. I can't say I'm 100% comfortable in rain when driving the SRT8 like when driving an Audi, but I guess that's obvious.
If you want to meet up for a ride I'm sure we can work something out.

They changed the colors on the '08 (i have '07) and it looks better in some ways...
but the materials are crap.
However, the seats are comfortable, the handling and braking is great for a car of it's size, and there are 100's of mods available.

During the last shopping trip in May I tried that and the Trailblazer SS. LOVED the power...
was a bit hesitant on the interior, build and features. But come on... an SUV with that kind of power is tons of fun. Decided on the FX though for her with the Sport Package (she likes fast but doesn't need crazy fast).

My sisters b/f has one...It's been in the dealers service shop for several different issues..
..the most recent time, when lifting the truck up they busted the catalytic converter, and the replacement was on backorder for two weeks.
