Sedans aren’t totally lifeless but at Normal Motors. The Chevrolet Malibu continues to be round, although it is anticipated to vanish within the subsequent few years. Cadillac has the CT4 and CT5, each of which lately gained high-horsepower Blackwing variations however who is aware of if they are going to endure past their present life cycle.
At the very least one particular person inside GM is not utterly targeted on SUVs and vans. On Valentine’s Day, the official GM Design Instagram account posted a sketch of a glossy automobile that seems to be a sedan. We are saying that as a result of there’s just one vertical physique line denoting doorways within the heart, so we aren’t totally certain how occupants would achieve entry. That does not actually matter, as a result of the attention-grabbing factor right here is that we’re seeing a automobile as a substitute of an SUV, crossover, or truck. Nevertheless, that does not imply GM is engaged on a brand new sedan. So far as we will inform, that is only a flight-of-fancy from an exterior designer.
It is a fairly cool design, although. The identify on the sketch is Kevin Nougarede; a fast take a look at LinkedIn lists him as GM Lead Exterior Designer so presumably, he has some affect throughout the automaker. With SUVs and vans hotter than ever, there isn’t any cause to suppose this automobile will ever transfer past a two-dimensional sketch. Nevertheless, we will not assist however determine a curious resemblance in entrance to the long-dead Saturn Sky. Would not it’s one thing to see Saturn return as a distinct segment mannequin much like the GMC Hummer? Buick may very well be an ideal match for a brand new EV Saturn luxurious sedan to compete with Tesla.
Will it occur? That is pure hypothesis on our half and such a factor appears extraordinarily unlikely. Then once more, had you informed us three years in the past that Hummer would return as a six-figure EV off-roader with a GMC badge, we might have stated the identical factor. Who is aware of what the long run holds?
