GMC to Celebrate Centennial with Heritage Edition Yukon and Sierra at the New York Auto Show


GMC was one of General Motors' four brands in the United States to live to tell another tale after the company's restructuring process in 2009, which brought the end of Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn.

One of the main reasons GMC remained alive is because for the past few years, it's GM's second bestselling brand in the States behind Chevrolet.

This year GMC celebrates its 100th birthday and to commemorate the event, the company will debut a new Heritage Edition for the 2012 Yukon, Yukon XL and Sierra at next week's New York International Auto Show.

GMC Introduces 2013 Terrain, gets New Denali Variant and a 301HP 3.6-liter V6


About three years ago, GMC launched the Terrain as its entry-level crossover model positioned right under the Acadia.

Now it’s time for GM's truck division to shake things up in the Terrain's range with the presentation of the 2013 model ahead of its world premiere at the New York International Auto Show in April.

Beginning with the new 3.6-liter V6 that will be available on both the regular Terrain and the luxed-up Terrain Denali, it produces 301-horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. (369 Nm) of torque, compared to 264hp and 222 lb-ft of the 3.0-liter V6.

Despite the increase in power and torque, GM says that it expects the new Terrain to deliver fuel economy equal to its predecessor (FWD: 17mpg city and 24mpg highway).
