We Hear: GMC to Get Unique Model Not Based on a Chevy - MotorTrend Magazine
Alternatively, just take the Avalanche that Chevy stopped making, update it and reincarnate it as a GMC exclusive. It had that look that people liked a lot. Put the cherry on top by offering a diesel. Of course, it takes money to build this and focus groups will skew the bean counters to offering yet another rebadged v6 CUV. Sad, since GMC is a 'truck' division, but reality seems to like to squish dreams. Even when in middle school drawing cars, I always had this vision of GMC diverging from Chevy enough and having commercial/business oriented vehicles. Even sketched an executive type car. It was tall and kinda like a CUV but CUVs weren't around yet so it was just kinda a tall car (like a Rolls Royce). Gave up that idea years ago because big cars just aren't in anymore. But I still wonder if there is a 'hybrid' (not powertrain, but design wise) design that would be perfect for GMC. GM doesn't need a new brand after it just killed off so many, GMC is a venue for a little experimentation. This could be very successful if they put a Granite-like car into production. And it would bring the more upscale GMC nameplate into the city-car. Source: wot.motortrend.com
