Some dude's idea of what the next-gen GMC could look like

Saw this on 355.net.
PickupTruck.com ran this story first.

It's an artist's conceptual idea of what the next generation GMC Canyon might look like, in the artist's opinion.

THIS IS NOT A GM RENDERING.

With that said, it looks a lot better. Probably because of the GMC grille and large flared wheel openings.

Re: Some dude's idea of what the next-gen GMC could look like

can a moderator fix the title of this thread to add the word "Canyon" after "GMC"?

Thanks.

I like it a lot better.

I do wish people would quit doing renderings with the stupid cab extensions though... I was happy when those things died off in the 90s.

Re: Some dude's idea of what the next-gen GMC could look like

The U.S. version of the Colorado probably won't have the Equinox grille. Chevy is moving away from that style of grille in favor of the one we see on the new Traverse and Impala and I bet the new Colly will get that look or be modeled after the next Silverado, whatever that looks like.

As far as the cab extension is concerned, I like it. I think the truck just won't look right without it. The rake of the belt line assures that. A level topped bed will just look awkward no matter how high the bed sides are.

I like the color... and the rest of it doesn't look that bad either. But that's just me...

I could see where you might get that, but it looks much better overall particularly the rear 3/4 rendering.

Funny you say that! I thought it looked like a Chevy Avalance...which the Ridgeline ripped off.

Re: Some dude's idea of what the next-gen GMC could look like

I think it's reminding people of a Ridgeline because of the cab extension on the bed.
Take that off and I think it will look like garbage, I think. The top of the bed will be too low with respect to the beltline. Plus it will be level, therefore creating an awkward look when viewed together with the raked beltline.

I see that Chris Doane has a hand in the drawing.

For those that aren't familiar with Chris, he's a strong credible player in the "spy photos" scene.

If Chris has a hand in an artist's rendering, it's usually pretty close to what has been actually seen, described, or done from a low quality photograph.

In short, it's probably not too much more than a grille or bumper details away from the real thing.

Looks good, but I assume the 2015 Canyon will be styled after the 2014 Sierra, not the 2013 Acadia.

Maybe the 2014 Sierra is being styled after the 2013 Acadia.
