Why do you call it better than the Buick Comes second? (Encore) I've got no opinion really, just curious. I kinda think they look like shrunken Enclaves/Equinoxes. It looks nice though.

Its got better options than the buick , and is almost 10k cheaper. I like the encore , but they share everything under the skin , the trax had better seats , a real touchscreen (the encore has a screen but its not a touchscreen as its too far away from the driver to be allowed to be a touchscreen) and that didn't work at all. The buicks only real upgrade was slightly nicer rims and better headlights.
But these 5spokes are nice , easy to clean in the winter time.
As for the headlights... well its me we are talking to here so this girls getting a 40" Rigid on the roof rack.

Nice looking Trax! I've seen one on the road over here now too.

It's a smaller platform than the Captiva. the Buick Encore is essentially a re-badged Opel/Vauxhall Mokka. The Trax is shares the same platform as the Mokka too.

Yep, the Captiva is just a rebadged last-gen Saturn Vue, which in essence is an Opel as well, just a different model and one size bigger than the Trax/Encore.
My wife and I were at the road races at Brainerd International Raceway last weekend, and spotted a Chevy Orlando in a Walgreens parking lot that had come over the border. Made me do a double take! Interesting how the Canadians get some of the Euro cars. (For instance, I've spotted a Nissan X-Trail with Canadian plates in Duluth twice).
