What's next for GM?

Expunge · 07-07-2017, 01:56 PM

So GM has released some awesome vehicles lately, the Camaro ZL1 and ZL1 1LE, the Colorado ZR2 etc.. what else would you like to see?

For me I see one segment that has no one in it from the big 3. The full size 2door sport 4WD SUV. Bring back the 2door Tahoe and Yukon. You add a modern day engine and maybe a diesel option and 10 speed auto and it would be a beast! And with low gas prices for now and the foreseeable future people are now looking to get out of the small car and get something beefier. And we all know profit margins are much better on SUV's than cars... you hearing me GM!

Yeah Ford is bringing back the Bronco, but it is really more of the Bronco II since it will be built at the same plant as the upcoming Ranger thereby almost guarantying a turbo four or six cylinder engine. Forget that.

What say you? Would you want to see something like this? Maybe something else?

I want them to bring back a full-size 2-door coupe! They don't have to call it a Monte Carlo... but it would be nice to have something that can fit a family if needed and NOT be 4 doors, or a stupid crossover

DvKillar · 07-07-2017, 02:13 PM

bring back the Vega!

FenwickHockey65 · 07-07-2017, 02:20 PM

Where do I begin.

Sonic SS with a 1.6T or 2.0T.
Cruze SS sedan/hatchback with a 2.0T.
Malibu RS
11th gen RWD/AWD Impala, 2.0T/3.6L V6 LS/LT/Premier, TTV6 or LT1 V8 SS/9C1
AWD TTV6 Traverse SS/9C1
North American-built Envision
Midsize BOF GMC SUV
Flesh out the Cadillac lineup with crossovers, replace ATS/CTS ASAP.

Most of that, minus the Cadillac part, won't happen.

I want to see plans for a new Chevy SS, including a new name for the 4 door sedan.

ssrs2lt · 07-07-2017, 06:27 PM

I miss the full size blazer days..buckets upfront, bench in the back, and of course 2 doors..I also wish they would make a 70s like SS chevelle ..2 doors big and ripping v8..grew up with those 2 plus an olds 442 love those cars..

strykerg8gt · 07-07-2017, 06:44 PM

I'll take a;
Trailblazer SS
Trailblazer ZR2
Cruze SS (2.0T with output above 300hp) if the old LNF from the Cobalt SS can get to 260, then GM should be able to get it above 300 by now.
SS sedan replacement, don't let Mopar monopolize the V8 sedan segment.

DenverTaco07 · 07-07-2017, 07:06 PM

typhoon to compete with performance suv, porsche, jaguar, bmw etc.

prod · 07-07-2017, 07:28 PM

Yep, they really need another sport compact coupe. I thought the Cobalt SS did well for its time. Just a tune could put it around the 300hp mark, GM even had its own that preserved the warranty.
When it went away and the Cruze came out, many hoped for a sport variant that never came to light.

Time to resurrect the Chevelle and Monte Carlo lines.

CCMADONNA · 07-07-2017, 08:49 PM

bring back a convertible Cadillac!

90503 · 07-07-2017, 09:27 PM

...Impala station wagon....Full size, fully loaded, the gaudier the better....

1COR.1:18 · 07-07-2017, 09:50 PM

I would like to see a base Camaro with a 427 option.
With beefed up 4 speed trans and rear end.

This.... this right here!

This would be epic against the new tomahawk Jeep.

Since I'm at it, bring back the Grand National.
