GMC: Terrain Hits Sweet Spot for Size But Denali Blows Value Proposition

Posted by Dave Sullivan on October 24, 2013 at 11:20 am

The GMC Terrain is one amazing vehicle. Why, you might ask? GM can’t seem to make enough of them. Even as the Terrain ages, it is still selling incredibly well. It was really the first vehicle where GM made the first good effort at interior design with a well-crafted centerstack, tons of 2nd row legroom, and features galore. Does slapping the Denali name on the Terrain make it the ‘must have’ in the Terrain lineup? Not exactly.

Exhaust Note #31: Goodbye, TrailBlazer and Envoy!

Oh, and Saab 9-7X, too
Last week was full of horrible sales results. The worst single month of sales since February 1993, in fact. In the midst of abysmal sales and the brouhaha to get the financial sector bailout passed, for better or worse, General Motors said production of the GMC Envoy and Chevrolet TrailBlazer will end in December 2008. This is two years earlier than once planned, though not much earlier than many guessed. Are you sad? Saying goodbye to a truly American vehicle?

2009 GMC Envoy Denali: The end of the line.
We’re not, really. The TrailBlazer and Envoy have come to their logical end, not for being badly drawn or executed products, but because the General’s offerings today are better suited for real life. Envoy sales for 2008 are down 44.1% and TrailBlazer down 36.9%. In a tough economic situation where leasing and credit are more difficult to get and buyers seem perfectly happy to delay big-ticket purchases, why continue them for another year?
