We are two weeks away from Christmas, Yes, it’s that close. Christmas always sneaks up on me but this year it seemed to come out of nowhere because of the COVID-19 crisis. COVID, with working at home and all, took away time. I could never remember if it was Tuesday or Thursday. I looked at […]
General Motors’ twin truck strategy revolves around the combined efforts of bulk-selling Chevy pickups and the premium pickings of GMC offerings. And GMC’s Denali packaging, really more of a sub-brand than just a trim level, took the premium nameplate’s upscale emphasis to new limits.
