What can I expect from GM @ the NYIAS?

[GMTruckGuy74]

I know the GMC Sierra HD All-Terrain concept truck will be there, as well as the new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. Does anyone know what else will be there (and I don't mean 2011 production vehicles ). I'm headed there Friday with the family and as usual, can't wait!!

How are you getting there?

How are you getting there?

We're taking the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor train from the Hamilton (Sloan Ave.) station to Penn Station-New York, and walking (or taxi) to the Jacob Javitz Center.

I am wishing that the Chevy Colorado will be on display, but I'm not keeping my hopes up (just like last year when I though the Cadillac XTS concept would have been there).

You could probably take the river line from Burlington (which is near you I recall) to the Trenton Transit center and take the Corridor train from there. You'd get your choice of seats being the first station.

Yeah, but the Hamilton Station is the next stop from Trenton, it's the Princeton Junction station that you have to avoid! Being that we're going early AM on Good Friday, I'm thinking traffic will be light. Taking the RiverLine is an option, but adds too much time for travelling (trust me, with a stroller & a 9 month-old infant, a five year old, two teenage boys, and four adults <friends of ours are going too>, driving to Hamilton is a much more pleasurable way to go versus connecting to different trains! I wanted to drive to NYC, but gas, tolls (turnpike & Lincoln Tunnel), and parking garage fee would be more than the NJ Transit tickets, plus I don't have to fight traffic to get into and out of the city.

Are you staying over in NYC?

Chevy is the only brand with a press conference scheduled (Wednesday @ 12:05pm)

Pretty sure it's just the Malibu and the Sonic Z-spec or...whatever that is. Colorado wouldn't be there.

In other news, the embargo on the refreshed Taurus and Taurus SHO drops in about 90 mins. The new SHO grille is.....not good....

[GMTruckGuy74]

So, Chevy will be showing off the Malibu and a Sonic, GMC will have the Sierra HD All-Terrain Concept, Buick will have the Verano, and Cadillac will have ??? Seems pretty lame for a major city like New York... Chicago was lame too, so I guess the big show for GM is now just Detroit.

Only new, major debut should be the Malibu.

I guess Cadillac might have the "new" CTS with the barely new grille?

[GMTruckGuy74]

Pretty sad when there's four brands and only one brand has a new product debut I was hoping for GM to surprise us with something else, if not two or three things, instead of just Detroit leftovers. Granted I'm excited to get to see the GMC Sierra All-Terrain HD Concept, and it seems that's where I'll spend most of my time in the GM displays (already saw the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic at the Philly Auto Show in February, so the Malibu will be the only other GM vehicle to garner my interest). I guess I'm just use to seeing Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, and Hummer vehicles in addition to Buick, Chevy, Cadillac and GMC vehicles. Losing those four brands cuts down on my excitement level, and then when out of the remaining four there's not much else...

Wow...the GC SRT8 sure is hideous.

Yeah, the lower front bumper cover/foglight area is awful. I'd much rather have a regular Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Any word on the Jeep Grand Wagoneer yet? Isn't that a NYIAS debut?

It's coming apparently. Don't expect to see it this week though.
