2014 GMC Sierra, plus haut de gamme

La prochaine génération de GMC Sierra, qui sera lancée l'an prochain, se positionnera plus haut de gamme que le Silverado, à l'instar de ce qui se fait déjà avec les Terrain, Yukon et Yukon XL par rapport aux Chevy Equinox, Tahoe et Suburban rapporte Mark Reuss, le responsable de GM en Amérique du Nord.

Aujourd'hui, les différences entre les Siverado et Sierra sont peu nombreuses et l'écart de prix n'est que de 500 dollars entre les deux modèles avec des incitations à l'achat elles aussi comparables.

Le prochain pick-up full size de GMC sera donc plus cher et mieux équipé que le Chevrolet. Un effort sera aussi effectué au niveau du look pour mieux différencier les frères jumeaux (à la calandre et aux logos près) dans les limites possibles pour ce genre de carrosserie.

Reuss promet pour les deux modèles davantage de fonctionnalités qu'il aurait été difficile de proposer auparavant sans développer davantage.

GMC Granite, c'est mort

Ceux qui espéraient la naissance d'un GMC de taille humaine, environ 4,1 mètres, via le Granite devront se faire une raison, il ne sortira finalement pas. L'info sort de la bouche de Jim Frederico, responsable des modèles petits et compacts de GM.

Dommage pour GMC dont les nouveautés se font rares ces derniers temps et dommage dans l'absolu car ce Granite était bien sympa. Il avait été présenté il y a deux ans au NAIAS.
