General Motors announced last week that it will be investing $ 331 million to purchase tooling and equipment and expand its Arlington Assembly Plant to make future Chevrolet Tahoes, Suburbans, GMC Yukons and Cadillac Escalades.
While GM never confirmed when the next-generation models of its full-size SUVs will arrive, sources say that model will debut in 2013 as 2014 models.
According to industry analysts, the next-generation models of full-size SUVs are likely to carry a premium to meet new fuel-economy regulations.
?They will be more expensive to engineer and build because of the need for lighter weight materials,? said Tracy Handler, an analyst at IHS Automotive. ?I expect prices to be higher.?
No word on powertrain choices for the next-generation of full-size SUVs from GM.
Side note: It would be interesting to see a full-size Buick SUV.
