It's just a sketch, but a big GM car could be cool. Sedans aren't entirely dead yet at General Motors. The Chevrolet Malibu is still around, though it's expected to disappear in the next few years. Cadillac has the CT4 and CT5 , both of which recently gained high-horsepower Blackwing versions but who knows if they will endure beyond their current life cycle. At least one person inside GM isn't completely focused on SUVs and trucks. On Valentine's Day, the official GM Design Instagram account posted a sketch of a sleek car that appears to be a sedan. We say that because there's only one vertical body line denoting doors in the center, so we aren't entirely sure how occupants would gain access. That doesn't really matter, because the interesting thing here is that we're seeing a car instead of an SUV, crossover, or truck. However, that doesn't mean GM is working on a new sedan.

His design takes some of the major design cues from the front of the current Silverado and accentuates them to create a truck with a more avant-garde appearance. The already skinny headlights become even more narrow and occupy a spot that's higher on the hood. The bracket-shaped running lights are still present, but the bottom portion sticks out more, which creates a sharper appearance. The shape also … [Read more...] about GM Designer Sketches Mean-Looking Truck, Is It The Silverado’s Future?
