I don't think there were rebadges of the Volt or Bolt. Don't recall one of the Cavalier. None of the Sonic. I honestly didn't know until I just looked it up that they rebadged the Equinox to the Terrain, else I'd have said the stuff they felt was worth rebadging was just not great stuff. I won't say the Equinox was a blast to drive, but that thing was a workhorse that got the job done for about 12 years.

The old Blazer and Jimmy I wasn't a fan of.

But these days, their line of SUVs is pretty good and those all get rebadges, but my opinion of GMC has been settled for about 20 years.

Next new car I'm eyeing is the EV Equinox. Needs a better heater than the Volt, though.

"My opinion of GMC has been settled for about 20 years."

All GMC vehicles are just Chevrolet models with a GMC badge! It's been like that since the 70s, and even then the only difference was that they still had exclusive engines, the rest was the same except for esthetics. Since the 1920s Chevrolet and GM have been using the same platforms.

Not all Chevrolet models get rebadged, but all GMC models have their Chevrolet equivalent. If you hate GMC your need to hate Chevrolet. They're. The. Same. Cars!
