As outfitted, the Torrent GXP will handily run circles around a Hyundai Santa Fe, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, or 2009 Dodge Journey.
None of those competitors even offer performance packages.
The 2008 Pontiac Torrent also delivers a far more credible facsimile of sporty handling than the typical truck-based SUV (or even car-based crossover), but its Chevrolet Equinox donor chassis can't keep pace with the Opel that underpins the new Saturn Vue and Vue Red Line performance edition.
In the 2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP, though you're not going to out-corner sportscars, you will be piloting something a lot more agile than the typical lumbering SUV--something that's happy to tackle corners at speeds that would make most of its more SUV-looking crossover competition seriously unhappy.
