The Denali trim that GMC uses to denote its top-of-the-line vehicles was introduced back in 1999, partly as a way to challenge the recently introduced Lincoln Navigator.

If you want a fuel-efficient ...

Report: GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy? 1390262280
For years, GMC has existed as a brand without a single unique product, reconstituting Chevrolet trucks, SUVs and crossovers with more frosting in exchange for a few extra dollars. The Sierra is a Silverado, the Acadia a Traverse, and the Terrain an Equinox, although admittedly the latter pair are visually differentiated to a significant degree. GMC could ...

Report: Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share 1389965400
Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this ...

Ford may not offer the Ranger in America anymore, nor Dodge (or Ram) its Dakota.

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year.

Report: GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales 1383600540
Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford. With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 4,600 units short of toppling Ford, and one ...
