So you really had to go back 40 years to make a point? You could’ve at least pulled out Aztek. That’s only about 25 years.

The Aztek. Oh my. I've put forth a significant effort to suppress the memory of that thing. If GM applied that name to that type of vehicle in today's society my guess is the indigenous people of Central America would have grounds for a hefty lawsuit.

GM should've used Voltec in the Silverado.

I’m actually shocked Voltec never showed up in trucks or SUVs.

Totally agree. Cost/complexity. IMO it was the stop gap they need before full EV. Now Stellantis and FoMoCo can offer something GM can't/won't.

Via Motors started out putting a Voltec like system into Silverado and Sierra pickups. Now they produce full electric vehicles. The CEO is my former boss. The Chairman of the Board was and may still be Bob Lutz.

If it has over exaggerated styling to show its electric I think it will be a swing and a miss |

I knew that was what you meant. Just thought I’d point out that two people with deep ties to GM’s electrification development did exactly that. VIA’s CEO, my ex-boss, was a key member of the EV1 team, was GM’s key lead in a hybrid development collaboration with Toyota (Toyota produced the RX-350h, GM developed then cancelled the Saturn Vue 2-Mode) and Bob Lutz is Bob Lutz.

So far the overall profile looks like a normal F-150. Probably will just have a new front fascia.
Definitely won't be like the Silverado EV.
