Traverse

No Information Released

[mjd1001]

Glad to see the 3.6 on the Equinox....dissapointed to not see the 2.5 replacing the 2.4

[Slideways]

I'm disappointed there's not a new Colorado yet.

[Joe in T.O.]

It would have been nice to see 4.5 L diesel availability.

[swagled]

You can really sense the wind-down taking place on the Silverado 1500. I think Oldsmobile offered more updates on 2002 Intrigues even while the whole division was being shuttered.

Never mind the Silverado, they completely dropped the Colorado and Canyon and they have been increasing sales!

[rueben44]

Ford and Dodge stepped up to the plate GM lets get her done.

[CJH]

Yes please!!

I take it 14' are the new full size models?

[PaleGreen]

I hope the new 'Nox colors are nice, because they're dropping two of the best:

(GHA) Mocha Steel Metallic
(GLB) Twilight Blue Metallic

I have an '11 in Twilight Blue - gets compliments all over.

[ZR2nit]

So I'm ready for the new Silverado spy shots. The new Ram brings alot to the table hope GM can blow it out of the water. They should seeing how much time they have had to develop it. I'm hoping to see 25 MPG minimum highway out of it.

[escheev]

What the hell; are they eliminating the diesel version from all the 2500 and 3500s (except chassis cab) for the CNG power train??? Is the diesel not selling???

[FenwickHockey65]

No...they just changed the RPO code I think.

[breaker104]

Agreed, GM should have at least made special going away versions to tide us over, lord knows they NEVER pushed for sales on the 355 twins anyway.

[escheev]

No...they just changed the RPO code I think.

Yea I see how it could be read both ways, I hope you are correct

The LGH was the lower output Duramax with a different turbo and different emissions that was used in the chassis cab models only. Apparently its gone in favor of the more powerful LML that's been in use since the new HDs launched. It's a good thing.
