  1. Slap a bowtie on the new Outlooks coming out of the plant, and bam! Number one crossover on the market.
  2. Talk about one giant leap back for GM design. I thought they were past putting out misses in between great product launches. Oh well I guess the flops are at least getting fewer in number. Look at the recent product launches. GMT 900s (solid) Aura (not a huge response but a solid car) Outlook/Acadia/Enclave (solid hit) CTS (out of the park) Malibu (excellent probably will be out of the park) ... and this. I am sorry but whoever buys this.... what a waste of steel.
  3. Funny, of all the GM sites I always though Saturn's was the worst then Chevrolet.
  4. Wait a minute, if that is true when is this happening? Because in my mind with a 6 er available in the Colorado, the powertrain options in the H3 become: I5 standard 6 er optional and the 5.3 Alpha models.
  5. H4 as a concept!!!??? I want to see that baby in production form and ready for sale this fall!
  6. This thing is probably going to be built on Zeta, "long front section, long middle section, and long rear section." The reason that Zeta was delayed was so that GM could figure out a modular approach. Now they get muscle cars, mid-size cars, and the Cadillac "Twelve." It does not sound nearly as cool as the "Sixteen," but there is thought behind it. GM rarely builds an engine for one vehicle (the I-6 is an unfortunate exception) and a twelve cylinder would fit nicely in a Escalade....
  7. I don't see a problem with GM giving Chevy a Lambda based SUV. They could use the Lambda to phase out the Trailblazer and bring a new SUV based on the H3 to market for people who want to true off roader. The beauty of it all is that no one cross shops Chevrolet and Saturn, and Chevy by all rights, should have every platform except for Cadillac's Sigma. If you need proof just look at each division's sales. Chevy is clearly in the driver's seat with the rest of GM along for the ride.
  8. GM needs to figure out how to bring kappa to market in a four seat varient. There are only so many 2 seat cars one company can produce. Corvette, XLR, Solstice, Sky, GT, Speedster, SSR... I am leaving any out.
  9. That's cool, but the nox torrent and vue are the same thing....
  10. Looks like a great translation to me. In fact, I like the more angular look of the production version. The concept looked a little like a jelly bean. The only complaint that I have is with the fog lamp coverings, but hey just buy something over a base model and you should be good to go. I think GM has a hit here, but just by cruzing this site you would not know it. I don't honestly see how anyone can crucify a car because of a lack of a gap in the front grill, but hey, what ever floats your boat. I don't think that the biased media out there will be nearly as crazy as some of the comments on this site because of one picture. It sounds like a lot of you had your minds made up that this thing was going to fail before you even saw the pictures. Looks like a winner to me.
  11. It looks like it is FWD to give them space for making the interior as "minivan-like" as it is with Stow and Go seats and the ability to make a perfectly flat load floor.
  12. WOW! If it is a H3T I am going to be selling my truck.
  13. Massive pay cuts and layoffs rarely if ever generate long-term business improvements in and of themselves. Unfortunately, GM appears to be cutting...cutting itself slowly out of business, in the hope of generating a short-term improvement in its stock price. Management at GM has failed, and as much as I want to see a turnaround at GM, I am afraid that it won't happen on the current watch. Ghosen is absolutely right, and chartered a path of improvement at Nissan that was right on the money. Create killer products to get people excited about your business, and then dump all of those newfound profits into improving quality, designs, and processes so that you can generate long-term sustainable growth of the company. GROWTH. GM is always fighting the war of the past, and you can't win that way. We can talk about how incredible it is that the rear lift gate of the Maxx is made out of one piece of aluminum, but if people don't buy the car then it is pointless. There is too much complacency and incompetence at GM for any meaningful recovery of the company, and I don't see any change on the horizon.
