GM Press Release--New Models

2010 General Motors Product Guide for the United States

Dear Automotive Journalist:

We are pleased to let you know that the 2010 General Motors Product Guide for the United States is now available at

http://media.gm.com/us/gm/en/product_services/vehicles/2010/2010productinfoindex.html

GM will focus on four brands -- Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC -- that combine leading-edge design, technology, engineering excellence and quality, backed by the most comprehensive customer care package in the industry.

For those brands, GM will introduce six all-new, car and crossover models, including the Buick LaCrosse luxury sedan; the Cadillac SRX crossover and Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon; the Chevrolet Camaro sports coupe and Chevrolet Equinox compact SUV; and the GMC Terrain compact SUV. In addition, Chevrolet’s iconic nameplate, Corvette, adds the Grand Sport, one of the most recognized names from Corvette’s illustrious racing heritage.

Additionally, the Pontiac Vibe will be available as a 2010 model; the Pontiac G6 will be available only for fleet customers.

We have further streamlined the product guide by offering only a list of “What’s New” for certain carryover models, rather than a full news release. Full news releases have been included for newer models. Specifications and photos are available for each vehicle plus Fleet & Commercial and GM Powertrain. Video is also included in certain vehicle sections and the GM Powertrain section. There is no embargo date for any of the material.

I encourage you to check the site periodically because we continually make updates.

Best regards,
Terry Rhadigan
Director, North American Product Communications

The stock engine in the CTS has 183 inches, 270HP and 11.7 compression.  How do they get a 11.7 to one compression engine to run on regular gas?  Looks to be the same base engine they put in the LaCrosse but here it puts out 255hp with the same compression.

But I see GM is still trying to push SUV and Crossovers, nothing new that I see in small great gas mileage cars.

But up to 638hp in the Corvette.

Thanks for the link, it fun to look at.
