Many moons ago,
Office 2010 Home And Student Key, Motor Trend reported that the funky GMC Granite concept from the 2010 Detroit Auto Show had been given the go for production. Immediately after, however, MT stated that while it strongly believed that the Granite would be produced, the publication had yet to receive an official green light from its sources within General Motors. That changes today,
Office 2010 Home And Student, apparently.
Motor Trend is reporting yet again that the Granite has been confirmed for production,
Windows 7 Professional 64, even going so far to say that the road-going car will keep the rear-hinged suicide door setup of the concept. This new confirmation reportedly comes from a "well-placed source" within the automaker, who also says that the Granite will be built on the same C-segment platform as the Chevrolet Volt, Cruze and Buick Verano.
When GM debuted the Granite concept,
Office 2010 Key Sale, it used the same 138-horsepower 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-four as the Cruze, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. This powerplant would certainly make sense for the production car,
Office 2007 Enterprise Key, though MT suggests that even the automaker's 177-horsepower 2.4-liter four from the Verano would be a good fit. Regardless, we'll wait until GM issues an official statement before we start gearing up for the first drive.
