OK, I watched Ron’s video review post, and I am bit confused and curious.
A lot of importance put on the touchscreen, USB ports, cup holders, storage space, adjustable bolsters. Didn’t show us under the bonnet, or give much in the way of technical specifications, or how the AWD system works. No diff, clutch packs in rear wheels … ehhhh ????
So, I suppose we are required to find that out ourselves with the aid of a ‘customer service technician’ (salesman), who will be full bottle on all aspects of that.
If (and big bloody 'IF') I was to consider one, it would be the AWD Tourer, complete with plastic 4WD add-ons. But, I can’t reconcile this with an Outback or Adventra. It appears to be on low profile tyres, with not much clearance, yet it is aimed at unsealed country roads.
Not everyone wants a raised, big wheeled 4WD pickup truck. I love my Cross6, but it is limited by the tyre fitment, and I suspect that the Tourer would be less capable.

What’s the output spec on the turbo application (psi) and are there any worthwhile / notable innovations performance or otherwise with this engine?
What’s the development history and is this engine used in any racing series?

Sorry guys pc shat itself, just did a disassemble and reassemble and it seems to be working again.
VXR bolsters are adjustable but it doesn't specify if they are active or simply customiseable.
Brembos are VXR only and only fronts sadly. Calipers are 4 pots with 345mm rotors
Drive split on AWD is constantly variable with min 100%-0% max 50%-50%
Warranty, info not at hand.
Are the bolsters on the VXR seats active like BMW?
What are the Brembo brake specs?
What is the drive split on the AWD models?
What will factory warranty be?

I'd be surprised if the warranty exceeds three years/100k and that's one of the biggest issues with US owned companies these days.
Three years is no longer acceptable to consumers and is totally inadequate in a market where five and seven year/unlimited k's are increasingly common. It's an arrogant attitude and it says more about GM than the cars do. Long warranties tell the customer that the company has the confidence in their products to give long service with minimal problems. What does a lousy three years and limited distance tell you?
The other issue with modern advertising is the focus on storage, connectivity and convenience. Screw performance, braking, road behaviour or the things that really matter. Today's drivers dont care about those things. They want electronic bells and whistles and a hole to stuff their McCafe barista made breakfast coffee.
