Wow, people have pretty strong opinions about this thing. Back in the day (haha) this was a mean looking, serious performing SUV. Please take into account what the competitors vehicles look like and perhaps the Typhoon doesn't look all that bad.
I thought it was a much better buy than the Syclone simply b/c the Syclone payload was ridiculously small and why have a truck and waste the bed space if you could hardly load anything in it??
Unfortunately, the few people that have Typhoons either seem to have ragged theirs out or think it's the second coming. So, you're left with paying through the nose for something that has not-so-great GM quality or buying someone else's worn out street racer.
