Hey hyper, any new news on the GMC granite now that the Detroit auto show is only days aways? I really hope they give it styling cues from the HHR. I will be looking for a new car in 2012-2013 because at that point i will probaly have 150kmiles on my hhr.

thanks solman, looks more like the gmc terrain from that angle.

Over at GMI they seem to think this will be on the Gamma platform verses the new Delta. I'm hoping they are wrong, cause the Gamma puts this in the xB catagory.

But it answered the question as to what this was in the background.

I am on my I phone so I will post it later but the new GMC is the size of Xb. I have a profile comparo of this to the Xb and Terrain. It is much smaller than the Terrain

Please GM bring the Diesel ASAP. I would like to see a Diesel Option in the Orlando,Cruze,Colorado,Silverado 1500,Next Gen Malibu.

If they do bring the diesel, is anyone ambitious enough to do engine fuel line swap into the HHR? That would be cool hahaha.

Here is what the GMC Granite Vs the Xb to the Terrain will compare. Think of it as a little GMC Soul.



This thing will be a little more Soul/Mini and HHR vs the Orlando and Terrain crossover or minivan like quality.

With some of the crap out there this thing just may have a place and do well.

That is too bad, I am in need of more space not less. I guess ill just hope the Orlando will look cool, but if they make it more mini-van like I wont buy it.

The Orlando will be more like a Minivan/Crossover.

The Granite will be more Mini/Xb sporty.

If I were hauling more I would just opt for the Nox or Terrain. A lot more for not all that much more money.

GM is getting more aggressive with their new designs. Just wait till you see the Aveo RS. It is not my kind of car but it make the Fiat 500 and the Ford Fiesta look like wimp mobiles. The first time I saw the RS I could not believe the change. The Aveo RS is 90% production as are most new concepts.

Also take a look at the new Regal GS. It is one sweet car.
