LaCrosse is already selling out across the country, in fact, current estimates state that a LaCrosse spends an average of just 48 hours on a dealer lot before it's sold, along with the SRX, Equinox, Terrain, and Camaro. GM is considering increasing production at Fairfax, CAMI, and Oshawa to keep up with demand. They originally estimated that 3600 LaCrosses would be enough at launch, dealers are now requesting over 9600 units.

GMC is GM's most profitable division. Trucks and SUVs are well-known for being huge cash cows. In addition, GMC has an extremely loyal and developed customer base, many of which, contrary to popular belief, would not go to another GM brand if GMC was axed. In addition, GMC tends to attract a rather affluent customer base, as evidenced by the fact that the average incomes of Yukon Denali/Yukon XL Denali owners are actually higher than those of Escalade/Escalade ESV owners.

And you recieved a damn good answer Great as usual Fen!

Used Buick is most reliable brand on the road.

If you're driving a Buick in China, you've MADE IT!

GMC, sells a butt load of trucks.

I hate all Toyota's, Honda's...they have no style, design or character. Put me in a Chevy any day.

Toyota Tundra is the ugliest truck on the face of the earth. I have likes the design of GMC overy chevy for the most part. Last gen Sierra/Yukon looked better than Silverado?Tahoe and this current gen Sierra looks better than the Silverado. Terrain looks better than Equinox. I know a guy who has a Denali and swears by GMC, won't buy another brand.

That image is obviously photoshopped. It appears that this vehicle has a semi-sufficient frame, and it even appears that it may be road-worthy in this image, which is obviously not true based on the "TUNDRA" nameplate on the side.

Of all the people to post pro-Toyota propaganda, I never figured you'd be among them, Fen.

i'm almost in the same boat. i would get a chevy, but really feel like i was missing out on something...

actually, i'd put the truck clip on the SUVs. i've seen both & like the truck front better




and if it's an 03-07, i really like the silverado front on the SUVs. that's the way they did it in Mexico from 05+

ugly as sin! it's funny they claim to have such tough trucks, yet a 1/2 ton is the 'toughest' they make

And this would've been a nice Sierra for GMC...



Both very attractive concepts...but very few design elements from either one went into production.

to me, it looked like he was thanking her for not buying that piece of trash

I know, I was joking and saying that Fen was being pro-Toyota for posting a picture of a Toyota in which it doesn't look like the rustbucket that it actually is.
