Hi

Got this from Carnation a day ago. Is there any truth to this given that none of us have even seen or heard of any testing of the vehicle. I am doubtful that Carnation would be speaking about non India launch

The way GM has been launching new cars without much publicity, you may never know . Criteria is that car should be Chinese. Does Trailblazer fit that criteria ? I dont think so because this has been designed for markets like Brazil. I may be wrong here.

Hey! I thought the condition is that they should be Korean (except for the current Sail, I think everything is 100% Korean) - I wish they bring some beauties they have in US down here. (I guess they don't have the RHD versions..)

They started with Korean designs and now china. On a more serious note, at one point SAIC was holding good share of GM india and hence this Chinese influence(last year trials). From what i know GM has bought back majority of the stake now. So with that, lets hope the upcoming models are going to be their global models.

Afaik Gm will continue selling cheap china cars as they know poor market share due to various reasons offsets costs associated with selling better quality cars.
