Here's some highlights:
Chevrolet Malibu: We've described this car before, and it is on a fast-track for release before summer '11, instead of fall '11 as originally planned. Stephens described it as having "flair and energy."
Chevrolet global compact van: Probably the Orlando, which has been scratched for the U.S., but will be sold in Canada and nearly everywhere else.
Traverse: The 2014 model will have a "Camaro-inspired front end," whatever that means, and more chrome accents.
Impala: "This is what an Impala should look like," Stephens said. Interior will have a "wide-open layout for maximum comfort."
Buick Enclave: The next generation, which should be a '13 model, will be "more sophisticated," with more crisp lines.
Buick GL8: The Chinese-market three-row "business" van gets an update, too.
"Baby Enclave": Buick's premium small car is still planned as a crossover.
Next LaCrosse: Design will be a closer collaboration between North American and Chinese design teams.
Buick compact: Based on the Opel Astra, it will feature "ice blue" halo headlamps.
GMC Granite: Stephens showed analysts the production version, which we've learned will be on a shortened Chevy Orlando floorpan.
Acadia: Also has a major facelift in the works.
Sierra: The next-generation model will feature a "bold new face" and upgraded interior featuring innovative infotainment options.
Cadillac: Stephens showed the XTS, but not the ATS rear-drive sub-CTS. He said the next-generation CTS, due for 2013, will have "compelling design with amazing proportions and richly detailed highlights."
Opel Astra GTC: The new model will have a very low roofline, wide track and will highlight Opel's new design language.
Insignia: It's in for a new front end with a wider grille, lowered graphics and enhanced sport and premium look.
Zafira: The next version of the seven-passenger MPV has the "sleekness of a bullet train," and a flexible center console, Stephens said.
Holden: Stephens mentioned only a facelift for the Commodore, and the next version of its compact, which is essentially a rebadged Vauxhall Astra.
