TheCarConnection.com sees overall satisfaction with the 2008 GMC Envoy's outward appearance in reviews across the Web, but some sources have complaints about the interior. The GMC Envoy was introduced in 2002 and has had few changes in styling since.  Calling it an "upscale twin...

Other Choices:

The 2008 GMC Envoy is closely related mechanically to the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which is similarly priced but doesn't offer a model like the luxurious Denali; however, the TrailBlazer gets a sporty SS model with a 6.0-liter V-8 for those who want a musclecar-like experience. The Envoy is part of a dying breed of formerly top-selling truck-based SUVs that are gradually being replaced by safer, smoother-riding car-based crossovers; among those, the Envoy is particularly trucklike in its ride and handling. The Explorer, Pathfinder, and 4Runner especially all handle more securely, and their interiors have been kept better updated. The Pathfinder and 4Runner also offer some measure of off-road ability. The Durango provides more towing ability and is almost as large as the full-size GMC Yukon for those who want a little more truck instead. GMC's own Acadia crossover, though more expensive, may be the best alternative to the Envoy if you're looking for a high-utility family vehicle; it's roomier and safer, and it performs better in just about every way.
