Powered by a four-cylinder engine, the 2012 Orlando is a small, seven-passenger crossover developed on the same platform as the Chevrolet Cruze.
Developed on GM's Theta Premium platform, the Terrain will launch new vehicles in 2010, which has a 182-hp, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine.
Restyled with a 2.4-liter, direct-injection, four-cylinder engine, the new Equinox is due to come out in 2010. Its more fuel-efficient engine is a key selling point. There will be no major changes for the Traverse in 2010-2012 and plans to restyle the full-sized SUVs for the 2012 model year.
Due to poor sales, production of he Avalanche will end by 2013. GM will discontinue the retro-styled wagon at the end of the 2011 model year and is closing the Shreveport plant that assembles the Colorado vehicles in 2012.
Plans for GM's full-sized truck Silverado 1500 are expected come out in six to nine months, meaning the vehicles may resurface in 2013. No significant changes are expected to the Silverado 2500 and 3500 in the next three years.
