    SUV and Crossover. The GMC Arcadia feels and handles like a car instead of a truck.
    I consider the GMC Sprint to be a car more than a truck.

    GMC Sprint / Caballero - Wikipedia

  7. They have a whole GMC dealership in my town. I was behind one of the people who run it in the gas station today. GMC written on the back of his coat and everything.

    The probable reason the OP hasn’t seen any GMCs in his area could be distribution, in that there are no GMC brand dealerships in his area. Just Cadillac and Chevy trucks.

    I rarely see Audis or Land Rovers in my part of the world, because the closest dealerships are hundreds of miles away.

    I see everyone is having a good laugh my car comment. I agree a SUV is a type of car. It's just semantics. What is not a car is a truck and a SUV is not a truck since it has no bed to haul things.

    Yeah Chevy El Camino with GMC tags... licensed as a 1/4 or 1/2 ton truck, not a car.

    GMC is the truck division of General Motors Company. From pick up trucks to heavy duty commercial trucks and buses. They have started putting the GMC label on some SUVs But truth be told except for the trim package they are not much different then Chevy's Suburbans

    With that logic, they might as well call the Chevelle a light truck.

    I know, you’re not the one who makes the rules on what’s a light truck, versus a car. And you’re probably right in that the GMC Sprint, the Chevy ElCamino, Ford Ranchero, Subaru Brat, etc. are considered light trucks by C.A.F.E standards. But I think it’s a logical fallacy.

    last car i had, was an amc hornet, made in canada of course. my first car, but not my first motorized vehicle, was a chevy panel.
    some of the parts on the jimmy truck were of higher quality materials, to last longer and require less frequent maintenance.
    but they were of the same form factor, for the most part, identically of the chevy line. interchangable with it.
    as pointed out, regardless of which set of letters it said on the chrome.

    does general motors still exist? i stopped keeping track when they sold off electro-motive devision, that used to make railway locomotives.
