GMC Granite will share a platform with the 2011 Chevrolet Orlando shown above<\/em><\/strong><\/small><\/div>\n

It seems as though it’s just about impossible to keep an embargo in place these days. A Canadian outlet just spilled the beans on a couple of GM reveals set for Detroit next month. They say they were invited to a sneak preview Wednesday evening and although they couldn’t take pics, they felt free to tell us about the whole array of models. Some have been loosely-guarded secrets, but a couple are unknowns, so we’ll quote CanadianDriver<\/em> on those until we get confirmation from GM.<\/p>\n

Apparently, The General will have a slew of new model introductions in the D next month, including the much-anticipated Camaro Convertible<\/a>, the new, upsized Aveo<\/a>, a substantially-revised Malibu<\/a>, production versions of the Spark<\/a> and Orlando<\/a>, and two models we hadn’t heard about until now: A GMC version of the Orlando dubbed the Granite, and a “sport version of the Buick Regal” that should get “many of its performance parts from the 325-hp Opel Insignia OPC.” Hot dog, the Regal GS<\/a> is apparently more than a wet dream. Bring on the Stage 1 and GNX.<\/p>\n

The Regal<\/a> was just introduced in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago, so the announcement of a performance model so soon thereafter seems a little strange — not that we’re complaining, mind you. The Granite is described as an “urban utility vehicle” and will be the smallest model in GMC’s history. A Denali edition can only be around the corner. We’ll get you more details as they are released and we’ll be sure to have the whole field covered when the Big Top opens at Cobo in January.<\/p>\n
