[FUTURE_OF_GM]

So, GM is going to move production of the current Traverse, and then move it BACK to Spring Hill with the next redesign? Or did I miss something and GM has decided to leave production of the Traverse at Spring Hill?

I'm still not so sure that I like the idea of an Escalade off of Lambda. Most people who buy Escalades buy them because they're 'old school' in construction and substantial vehicles. Then again, I guess if GMC continues to offer a BOF Denali, then maybe they can cover that ground. I just think that any execution off of Lambda will be too 'minivan' for Escalade fans. However, I do understand the need to better target competitors such as Mercedes Benz.

It seems that Lambda will become the new GMT900/GMT360/70. I had always heard rumors about an SUT style product that would either come to market as a Chevy or a Saturn. Then there were the rumors that the Denali XT could/would actually spawn from Lambda.

My question is; why isn't GMC getting this product? Chevrolet already has the Avalanche (Then again, I assume this might replace the Avalanche instead of supplementing it) What I'm getting at is; I hope GM is not just going to let GMC wilt and die like they have so many other brands with SUCH potential. I mean, the Canyon news is good, but can a new Canyon and Terrain and a slightly aged Acadia pull the whole franchise as were forced into smaller trucks?

GMT-700 is no surprise... I'm willing to bet that the LA plant will be bundled with the Hummer sale, if it is approved.
