Nowhere in that press release did it say anything was getting cancelled actually.

More than likely it'll get sent to LGR.
GM has already said they don't want to import CT6 from China if at all possible.

Unallocated means the plant isn't getting used. Not that the cars are getting killed.

Nope. Part of the reason for listing plants that “have no product allocation” is to prepare them for the likelihood that some or all of them will actually close. But it leaves the door open that one or more of them might actually get product allocated and stay open. There is also some consideration that GM could import CT6 from the plant in China (ala Buick Envision). And there is also some consideration that GM could be looking at producing CT6 at another plant equipped for similar architectures (looking at you, Lansing Grand River). If GM was to say “No, CT6 is not being discontinued” it could lead to a need to discuss which, if any, of the options I laid out are possible. They clearly do not want to do that, so the best recourse is to say.....nothing.

^^ What he said. People are already getting up in arms over this news thinking GM is going to import CT6 from China if/when D-Ham closes. It's why they had to mention in the conversation today that China is essentially an absolute worst-case scenario.

Apparently someone on Instagram found what looks to be a Reg. Cab Short Bed Trail Boss in Mexico.

Quality is more dependant on the systems used to make something than the nationality of the people in the factory. And those standards are set (and enforced) by the manufacturer. For example, Tesla's cars are crap in terms of build quality and built in the good old US of A (in a former GM-Toyota plant). Meanwhile, the Buick Envision is built in China and is as good as any other Buick.
GM has been selling Chinese built CT6's in the US pretty much since the beginning. Every plug-in hybrid CT6 has been built in China.

Exactly. What a cluster....Build your new "Flag-ship" car for one year in the US, close the plant that made it, then import a Chinese clone as your Flag-ship. Sounds like a PR disaster. |
