Fusion to live on, as Sports Wagon


Recommended Posts

Thinking the "Fusion Active" will be a C2 car while "Mach 1/Maverick" will be the CD6 rwd/awd performance utility (kinda like 04-08 Dodge Magnum).

Maverick is the Baby Bronco. Mach 1 is the BEV Performance CUV announced in January.

 

Fun little tidbit I heard about the Mach 1 the other day. Its getting taillights very similar to the Mustang ?

Meant that Chevy will rebadge the Regal wagon as a new Malibu Maxx.

Something will have to change as PSA wants to end GM legacy products in the next two years,

production of Regal and New Commodore will have to switch to another GM plant so that would

be a good opportunity to reconfigure Malibu plant.

In the short term, PSA will just produce Regal and Commodore for GM as long as the check clears.

 

In the mid term, GM can source the Regal and Commodore sedan from China. The wagon is more problematic but the wagon business may not be big enough for GM to loose sleep over.

 

In the long term, I think there is no point for a Regal sedan in the US (it will continue in China). And Holden can decide if they want to base its Commodore on Chinese Regal or Chinese Malibu.

 

Holden's schizophrenic line up of part Chevy, part GMC, part Buick rebadges is a little weird to be honest. They should pick which design language they want to align with... Buick or Chevy.

 

Spark --> Chevy Spark

Barina --> Chevy Sonic

Astra --> Buick Verano (why not Cruze?)

Commodore --> Buick Regal (why not Malibu?)

Trax --> Chevy Trax

Equinox --> Chevy Equinox

Captiva --> Chevy Capitva

Acadia --> GMC Acadia (why not Blazer?)

Colorado --> Chevy Colorado

The Astra hatch is the Verano, but the Astra sedan is the Cruze (Just to make things even more confusing).
