GM 'hits the sweet spot' in its new-vehicle rollouts

摘要

General Motors' new-vehicle cadence is finally at full speed, after the company's 2009 bankruptcy crimped development plans for several years. GM says that new or redesigned models will account for 90 percent of its North American vehicle lineup by 2016. Included will be a top-to-bottom overhaul of its truck lineup, which includes some of GM's best-selling and most profitable nameplates. Its full-sized pickups, including heavy duties, will continue to roll out through year end and the first half of next year. The next generation of big SUVs, including the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon, should arrive in early 2014 - the first redesign of the pricey, body-on-frame trucks in eight years.
