MODIFIED CAR CUSTOM

Inside, the Terrain's interior is characterized by its red contrast stitching on the seats, doors, and center console and red ambient lighting that illuminates the door pulls and the "floating" center stack. The cabin also features plenty of storage in spaces such as the oversized glove box, a compartment under the center arm-rest, in the dash, and two-tier storage in the doors.

The rear can be configured for cargo or comfort with a 60/40-split rear bench that can slide fore or aft nearly eight inches to adjust for greater leg room or cargo carrying capability. No electronic device will go unpowered, thanks to four auxiliary power outlets throughout the cabin. The Terrain provides its passengers with further comfort through GM's first application of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology on the four-cylinder model. ANC quiets the ride by detecting booming noises in the vehicle and smoothing them out by sending out counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers.

Pricing for the Terrain is start around $25,000. The base price includes standard features such as a rearview camera, electronic stability control, OnStar, XM satellite radio, and dual front, side, and side-curtain air bags. Options will range from a programmable power rear liftgate to a dual-screen rear DVD entertainment system. The price of a loaded AWD V-6 model is expected to reach the realm of $35,000. GM says the Terrain will go on sale in late summer.
