    Spying: Are You A Small GMC Crossover?

      It's hard to tell with all of this camouflage

    "To me, there is more room for SUVs in the GMC stable. An obvious place for GMC to be if it expands is that small SUV segment," said Duncan Aldred, head of Buick and GMC last August.

    It seems GMC planning such an expansion if new spy shots are to be believed. It is difficult to tell whether or not this is a GMC as the two test mules are under numerous layers of camouflage. But we can make out the brand's slotted grille in the front.

    For some time, we had been hearing murmurs about GMC possibly building a Jeep Wrangler fighter. But judging from these photos, it seems that it will be a subcompact crossover to compete against the Jeep Renegade and Ford EcoSport. According to Automotive News, the new model could be called Granite and use the Gamma-2 architecture that underpins the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax.

    Production of this new model is expected to begin in 2020.

    From info gleanable in the spy photos, it has a grille texture like the Acadia, also the headlight outline mimics Acadia on a smaller scale.  Seems to be a tiny step backward from the caliper lights on the Terrain.  Still I'm innerested in seeing what it will be like.

    Side window treatment looks like a rising belt line similar to the Encore, but with a quarter window or different C-pillar trim?  Maybe it will have the opera window w/ floaty roof style trim like the Terrain..

    Wonder if it will get a Z71 package. ?

    Makes sense for GMC to have a CUV the same size as the Trax and Encore.  I have seen A LOT of Encores on the road in the last two years, which arguably makes the Encore the best seller for Buick (here in the USA).  Some customers would rather have the GMC look instead of the Trax or the somewhat feminine-looking Encore.

      Went in for my annual service/oil change (about 5000 miles since the last one).  Been parked most of the winter, weather been cold and snowy.. warming up and melting.  Got a new set of tires last week (replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Firestone Firehawks), getting an oil change and new battery today--I think I had the original battery--after all the cold weather recently, noticed it was down to 10.3 volts when starting, but rising to 15.x after a few min.  Want it in ship shape before my 10 vacation in two weeks..road trip down to Beaufort & Hilton Head, SC, Savannah and Macon GA and Asheville, NC..

      The other one is when he holds a press conference and someone in the press asks him a question that he doesn't want to field and he just says, 'Next question.' That's because his entitled and corrupt a$$ is in gear, he doesn't want to be accountable, and they've let him get away with it for years.  We're now in 2026.  Does this mean Project 2025 didn't gel like they wanted it to? I can't believe how often he passes and makes nasty remarks to go with along with doing so.

      I am seeing allot of non mental jobs that can be easily done by an AI bot get done, like you pointed out, the cleaning up and organizing of paperwork just so a company can then make intelligent decisions to move forward but this is over the next 5 to 10 years imho.  I do not ever plan to retire, but I do see my job evolving and with that what I might have to do in 20 to 30 years will look very different than today.

      www.NotGonnaHappen.com Maybe eventually but certainly not in 18 months. I’m seeing a lot of resistance to AI due to the costs involved. Plus, corporate data is so messy. Feeding messy data to AI is just asking for bad results. It will take years to clean up the data and maybe AI can help with that, but unless you’re starting a company today and building it with AI from the start and actually have AI super experts running things, it’s likely your data is too messy to use in AI right now. One of my clients is in a conversion away from paper and struggling with it. They’re not going to AI anytime soon. We won’t even be done the paper conversion until early 2028.
