- Let's see: Ford has had the King Ranch out there for how many years?? Ram has had the Longhorn out for how many years?
When I was shopping for a new 250/2500 last fall, the GM twins were behind Ford and Ram when it came to interior style and design. Being a former GM guy (went to Ram after 25 years), all I could think of when I read the article was: too little too late.
Nothing new here and just reinforced my disappointment with GM. They had better get ahead of the game with a forward design to bring the customers back. Coming out with this style years after Ford and ram can't be a recipe for success. I saw this interior at the local Farm Show a couple months back. A far cry from King Ranch and even more so when compared to Ram...... - I wonder when GM is going to drop the Chevrolet pick up and just sell a GMC truck? Just is not good business to have multiple vehicle lines.
One of the very few things Damn-Lire did that made any sense was when they discontinued the Plymouth line. GM needs to wake up and do a little down sizing if they want to return to the profitability they had before IMO.

BTW from what you can see of it, it looks like they will have a very nice truck. lbrjet wrote:

They might sell some, but will they sell for a PROFIT, or will they eventually be heavily discounted to get them off the lot? The question has never been ability to sell... the issue for GM the last 10 years or so has been an ability to sell and make a PROFIT. They weren't able to do that, hence the bailout and subsequent bankruptcy.
$45K starting price for a 2wd is way too rich for me. I understand people want all the fancy stuff, but I just can't figure out why. I don't need all those gizmos and gadgets... I'm too busy driving to play around with all those toys. As far as my kids are concerned, I don't let them watch tv in the car... they also are very limited to watching tv at home. When I was a kid and we went on vacation, we had a book and a Walkman. My kids will have the modern equivalent of the same.
Power steering, power windows, cruise control, traction control and a backup camera are my necessities. I'm not opposed to a nice stereo with Bluetooth streaming. My phone has a MUCH better GPS than you can get in a vehicle... with free upgrades nonstop from Google Earth. All the rest of that technology is wasted on me... I ain't paying for it. I can't stand leather, its always cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I prefer cloth seats.
I'd rather spend $20K less on the truck and spend that money driving around this beautiful country. To each their own though.kmbelt wrote:
