Granted about 70 per cent of all buyers choose the shorter wheelbase as it looks less imposing and some might not need the interior vastness. Under the hood is GM’s premium 6.2L V8 with a whopping 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of It has been torque.

hen it came to realizing the benefits of daily exercise, it’s safe to say Joyce Mulligan was years ahead of the curve. In the 1970s, decades before cycling became a popular mode of transportation and recreation in the Okanagan, Mulligan would ride her bike to work as a registered nurse at Kelowna General Hospital. From the Westside, across the old bridge and back, the 20-kilometre round trip provided her with both a sense of satisfaction and a means of keeping fit. Throw in some camping, hiking and even some yoga, and Mulligan practised a well-rounded physical lifestyle which wasn’t all that prevalent four decades ago in North America, let alone Kelowna. See story page A3.
