General Motors Debuts Models For Upscale Brands At New York International Auto Show (3/30/2004 10:27:39 PM)
DETROIT - General Motors will introduce three new vehicles for its upscale Buick, Cadillac and Saab divisions at the New York International Auto Show.
In addition to the 16 vehicles introduced at major U.S. auto shows this year, GM will present the Buick Velite concept, 2005 Cadillac STS and 2005 Saab 9-7X.
"These products are vitally important in their own right, but they also symbolize GM's ongoing mission to refine and strengthen every GM brand, here in North America and across the globe," said Gary L. Cowger, president of GM North America.
The GM vehicles making their world debut at the New York show are:
Buick Velite Concept - Providing passengers an elegant environment, the Buick Velite also forges new ground in expressive, upscale rear-drive midsize automobiles.
2005 Cadillac STS - Designed to compete head-on with world-renowned prestige sedans in markets around the globe, the Cadillac STS is an all-new luxury performance sedan. It represents Cadillac's latest step toward vehicles with outstanding performance and exceptional quality and reliability, and that meet the demands of the most discerning car buyers.
2005 Saab 9-7X - Targeting the mid-luxury SUV segment, Saab will introduce its 9-7X SUV into one of the fastest growing market segments in the industry. The introduction continues a Saab product development program unprecedented in its history. Saab has expanded its model offerings to four vehicle lines, launching three other models (9-3 Sport Sedan, 9-3 Convertible and 9-2X sports compact) in the past 18 months.
The Buick Velite, Cadillac STS and Saab 9-7X follow auto show introductions that GM began in December at the Los Angeles auto show with the Chevrolet Cobalt compact coupe and sedan, the Saab 9-2X premium sports compact car, the Buick Terraza and Saturn Relay crossover sport vans and the HUMMER H3T midsize concept truck.
GM then used the North American International Auto Show to feature several more vehicles: the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, the 2006 Pontiac Solstice roadster, the 2005 Pontiac G6 sports sedan, the racing version of the 2004 Cadillac CTS-V and the Saturn Curve and Chevy Nomad concept cars.
The Chicago Auto Show featured the most recent array of GM vehicles: the 2005 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Uplander, GMC Envoy Denali and Envoy XL Denali, GMC Sierra Crew Cab Denali, Pontiac Montana SV6 and Pontiac Vibe.
