GM Debuts 2005 Corvette, Production Sedan, Crossover Sport Vehicles
And Sports Car Concepts at 2004 North American International Auto
Show DETROIT, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Led by the new,
sixth-generation Corvette, General Motors reinforces its commitment
to producing compelling vehicles with the introduction of several
new concept and production models at the 2004 North American
International Auto Show. The 2005 Corvette raises the ante in
sports car performance while maintaining a reverent connection to
its half-century of heritage. In addition to the 2005 Corvette, GM
will introduce the 2005 Pontiac G6 sports sedan, the newest
addition to an increasingly diverse, sophisticated and
performance-oriented family of sedans. "Great new cars filled with
passion and performance are rolling off the assembly lines at GM,"
said Gary L. Cowger, president of GM North America. "The breadth of
these new products will keep GM's momentum going and help define a
leadership position in passenger cars." GM also will show concept
vehicles based on GM's all-new Kappa architecture, as well as a
version of the Pontiac Solstice roadster that inspired the concept
vehicles' architecture. Here's more detail about the GM highlights
at the 2004 North American International Auto Show: * 2005
Chevrolet Corvette - Marking the sixth generation of its legacy,
the 2005 Corvette delivers more power, passion and precision to
reach a new standard of performance car excellence. * 2005 Pontiac
G6 - Stretching the boundaries of traditional midsize sedans, this
Epsilon-based sports sedan provides exceptional interior room,
razor sharp ride-and-handling attributes and unexpected refinement.
* Saturn Curve and Chevy Nomad - Based on GM's forthcoming compact,
rear- wheel-drive Kappa architecture, these concepts demonstrate
expressive ideas of personal sports cars. The Kappa architecture's
four-cylinder engine, rear- drive layout mirrors the popular 2001
Pontiac Solstice roadster concept in size and proportion. *
Cadillac CTS-V/GM Racing - A special announcement will be made
regarding Cadillac's participation in SCCA's World Speed Challenge.
These introductions continue GM's relentless product offensive. At
the Los Angeles Auto Show, GM also featured several new vehicle
introductions: the Chevrolet Cobalt compact coupe and sedan, the
Saab 9-2X premium sports compact car, the Buick Terraza and Saturn
Relay crossover sport vehicles and the HUMMER H3T midsize concept
truck. DATASOURCE: General Motors Corporation CONTACT: Terry
