General Motors announced on Thursday that it will introduce nine all-new or redesigned Buick and GMC models over the next 15 months.
Those nine new models include some vehicles we already know about -- such as the Buick Encore, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, GMC Sierra (plus a heavy duty model), GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL. However, GM also confirmed for the first time that it is working on updated versions of its Buick Regal and Buick LaCrosse.
“Our dealers have a lot momentum in the marketplace right now,” Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of marketing for Buick and GMC, told the Detroit Free Press. “During the next 12 months we’ll continue to give them new reasons for customers to visit their showrooms.”
In addition to those nine new models, DiSalle also confirmed that GMC will bring a new version of the Canyon pickup truck to market without giving a specific time frame.
“We know there’s a group of customers that want the functionality of a truck but may not need a full-size pick,” he said.
The new GMC Canyon will likely be based on Chevrolet's all-new Colorado. However, GMC fans could be waiting a while for the smaller pickup to arrive – the Colorado isn't expected to make production until sometime in 2014.
