GM To Drop Suburban??

My neighbor across the street has 2003 GMC Yukon XL. Friday night he
told me GM plans to drop the Chevy Suburban but keep the GMC Yukon.

I haven't heard of any such plans. Anybody else hear it ?

It wouldn't surprise me a bit after seeing what happened to full size Chevy
and Buick cars (plus Camaros and Firebirds) and the Olds division lately.
Way to go GM!

ahmet

I very much doubt it. The Suburban is a very good selling vehicle with a
large profit margin, and with the demise of the Excursion and nothing to
match it in the Dodge line-up, I think we'll all be seeing Suburbans for
some time to come.

What I would like to see is a Duramax diesel option on the Suburban and in
the H2, as well as smaller diesels for the mid-sized and half-ton pick-ups.
I think GM is misjudging the popularity of diesels in smaller trucks.

That makes no sense at all. The Suburban outsells the Yukon XL and is a big
money maker for GM's Chevrolet brand.

If anything, the existence of the entire GMC line alongside the Chevies is
what makes little sense.
