OK since the Traverse is the size of the Tahoe the Tahoe will be killed off.. so then will the new Equinox be the size of the Trailblazer? If so would chevy need a sub-equinox crossover?

Did you just say Tra"n"sverse? You sound like our A"R"cadia customers. I'm just teasing of course. But it is Traverse and Acadia.

People will always need a truck that can tow 8200lbs. Joe the Plumber needs a truck that can tow 8200lbs!

Lambda can be converted to RWD??

FINALLY!

More lambdas. its about time GM tried to spread around this underutilized platform instead of trying to dump yet another zeta, sigma or kappa on the market. screw the appliances. what gm needs is more enthusiast vehicles like the outlook.

maybe they finally do get it!

Theres nothing wrong with using one platform for several vehicles instead of using multiple platforms... why not put the minivans and the SUV's on the Lambda if it works.

Tell me when GM adds another 1.5 tons to its towing capacity and I won't complain anymore.

It's been announced that for the 2016 model year, the Corvette will be switched to the Lambda platform. As of 2014, the Corvette was the only GM vehicle not utilizing that platform, costing the company hundreds of dollars.

GM's new CEO Buickman announced the platform change while delivering cars under the new "All Cars Delivered by the CEO" program. Tomorrow he will be delivering new lambda's in Grants New Mexico.
