For the last few weeks rumors have been flying about which General Motors assembly plant would be selected to build small cars in the United States. Such clause came about from the recent agreement made between General Motors and the United Auto Workers. Well, today GM announced officially that they have selected the Orion, Michigan assembly plant to build the new small cars, leaving some to question the future of the newer, flexible Spring Hill, Tennessee plant.
GM has not formally announced which small cars Orion will be building, however GMI has been told that it will likely be the Chevrolet Viva and Buick small car. The Viva is going to be the replacement for the Aveo, due out next summer. Buick, as GMI broke news on several months ago, is slated to obtain a version of the Opel Astra compact hatchback. It is expected that the Astra is the Buick small car now slated for Orion. Starting in 2012 it is expected that Orion will build an all-new Buick sedan based on the Delta II small car platform as...

DETROIT — The so-called "long list" of candidates for the 2010 North American Car and Truck of the Year was revealed late Monday. It is noteworthy for its lack of Chrysler vehicles and its even division among automakers from Japan, Europe and the U.S. The list includes three Korean vehicles, including the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the Kia Forte and the Kia Soul — and even includes an offering from Suzuki, the Kizashi.
The 37 vehicles on the slate include 12 offerings from Japan, 11 offerings from Europe, 11 offerings from the U.S. and three offerings from Korea.
The 2010 North American Car of the Year candidates are: the Audi S4, BMW Z4, BMW 335d, BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Fusion/Fusion Hybrid, Ford Mustang/GT500, Ford | ... [Read More]

Buick Ponders Another Crossover, CBS Showed It to Us First
A TE based crossover for Buick is not yet green-lighted.

Last week during a spot on the CBS Early Show regarding the future of General Motors, they showed a GM design studio that was showcasing a clay model of a future vehicle. It was obvious that the clay model was of an upcoming Buick vehicle and it appeared to be a crossover. GMI has since confirmed what that proposed design is of and the status of the vehicle itself.
Firstly, it is a Buick model, but it is NOT the next-generation Enclave like some have speculated. GM has been kicking around the idea of building a Buick crossover on the Theta-Epsilon platform. This is the same platform that underpins the all-new Cadillac SRX. The clay model from the CBS spot is a design study of Buick's possible TE crossover. The shown design is not that of anything final, simply a study of the possible design direction of the car.
The wrinkle in this is that the TE-based Buick crossover has NOT been green-lighted for production as of yet. The GM Product Board is still pondering on the idea... [Read More]

GM Bankruptcy Update; 363 Sale set for June 30th
GMI hears the target date for a critical chapter of GM's bankruptcy.

By: Nsap
In one of the largest industrial bankruptcies in U.S. history, General Motors has now been in court for just over ten days and overall things have been quiet about the progress of getting the General reorganized. GMI does have the latest information to come out of the bankruptcy hearings and the latest evolution of the bankruptcy plan; a plan that has not really changed much at all since the filing. Amongst the latest information, GMI has been told a critical date in the bankruptcy process.
One of the most critical processes of GM's bankruptcy proceedings is the final sale of "New GM" to the U.S Government. In this process creditors bid for New GM and it is expected, with little doubt, that the U.S. Government will issue the largest bid for New GM. The entire process is part of a 363 sale in the U.S. bankruptcy code. GMI has been told that sale could happen as early as June 30th. That date is contingent that no appeals or rejections are made to the process (which are looking likely),... [Read More]

Meet Your (Reduced) 2010 GM Lineups!
Welcome to the world of four brands...sort of anyway.

June 10, 2009
Here at GMInsidenews we have a tradition. That tradition is that we always do a series called "Meet Your _______ Lineup" when GM releases their product information guide for the upcoming model year. Well, last night GM released the 2010 information. Nothing too exciting can be found in it, but tradition is tradition right? The most notable thing to mention is that Pontiac will only have ONE 2010 model; the Vibe. We have been told that the G6 will solider on in 2010 as a FLEET MODEL only.
Click the links below for 2010 photography and "new for 2010" information on every GM model.
