The
Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the
Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a
GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch,
Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the
Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible."
That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version?
It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
