    NOT ANOTHER HUMMER, GMC confirms joining the GM family having an electric Pickup.

      GMC Vice President Duncan Aldred has confirmed GMC will offer a second full size pickup taking Professional Grade to new levels.

    Lifestyle pickup is what GMC calls the GMC Hummer EV, shortly afterwards the Chevrolet division announced their electric full-size pickup truck and now GMC will also have a full-size pick that will fit in with their traditional GMC Pickup truck line.

    Aldred according to the various news sources declined to confirm or deny if the truck will be named Sierra matching their current ICE full-size traditional pickup line. GM did confirm that the GMC Hummer is on track to start production and deliveries this fall about the same time Rivian starts shipping to customers as their electric assembly plant ramps up to full scale production which now will include a Chevrolet and GMC traditional electric pickup.

    GM executives are on record that they are not surprised by the pricing Ford has taken with F-150 Lightning and Ford as well as Ram should expect a very competitive assortment of offerings from GM in various trims. Aldred has stated that the biggest segment is the North American Pickup truck segment representing 15 percent of total retail sales in the U.S. alone and still growing, he sees plenty of room for all competitors.

    GMC is having a bit of a heyday as the first half of the year retail sales are up 35 percent with details of sales as follows: 

    • Sierra up 28%
    • Yukon up 104%
    • Yukon XL 90%
    • Acadia up 53%
    • Canyon up 31%

    GMC high ATP according to the various write ups is due to the two most popular trim levels, Denali and AT4 which is making up the bulk of purchased auto's.

     Green car reports that due to GM having been very clear about only a 26 month development cycle now indicates that the Chevrolet and GMC electric pickups should arrive at dealerships summer of 2023 as the earliest.

    2023 should be a huge year for GM as they roll out a large assortment of BEV's.

    • The VLE probably has better interior space for passengers than a GLS or Escalade, and can offer roomier seating like a big first class airline seats.  Better kid hauler too.  But this won't sell in the US.  Probably works in China.  I don't know what the price is going to be, but I feel like people won't pay it, they'll buy an SUV even if it doesn't suit their needs as well.
    • Most of that is old stuff. M5 processor is out now and six of those devices are M3s, one is an M2 iPad.  The iPhone 15 Pro an Pro Max were not some of Apple's best work and we're on 17 now.  I just can't with 4-cylinder turbos on premium aiming products. No one has really fixed the NVH of these engines and they all sound terrible. I'd really rather a small displacement 6 cylinder, say 2.5 liters with a turbo for premium stuff. Buick to Benz, they all sound bad. 
    • I know. When I was talking about USC, I then went over to Mossimo and Lori Loughlin.  They participated in the bribed admissions snafu at USC for their daughters and did time.  I rechecked and those two are separated instead of divorced. As for Bezos and his arm candy, only time will tell what that will look like. 
    • Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year.  Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018.  He divorced his first wife in 2019.
    • USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing.  USC was once not that hard to get into.  I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics.  Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon.  I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in.  It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist.  I'm just calling a spade a spade.   * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year.
