General Motors comfortably led the American automotive market last year with 2.6 million sales against Toyota's 2.24 million and Ford's almost two million deliveries. The reason for GM's success is simple – it offers almost anything for everyone.
If you wanted a small EV, you could grab a Chevy Bolt EV; if anyone needed a high-performance executive sedan, the Caddy CT5-V Blackwing is still around selling like hotcakes, and if people asked for a big, good 'ol pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra series were some of the best-selling nameplates overall last year – sitting in second and seventh place.
Interestingly, over the course of just two years, Chevrolet has refreshed or introduced all-new versions for all of its crossovers and SUVs, culminating with the 2024 Traverse, 2025 Tahoe and Suburban, or the 2025 Equinox. GMC, on the other hand, is not slouching around either, focusing on both SUVs and pickup trucks with the impending arrival of the first-ever Sierra EV Denali Edition 1, the first-ever Canyon AT4X AEV Edition, or the all-new 2024 Acadia.
However, let's look at the SUV roster, with only the Terrain, Acadia, Yukon & Yukon XL, plus the all-electric Hummer EV SUV on display. It's pretty clear that GMC might use another nameplate or two to solidify the roster, much in the same way as Chevrolet. In case you can't think of an excellent candidate to enter the rugged yet premium GMC family of SUVs, no worries; the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has us covered.
More precisely, Jim, the virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, loves messing around with all things CGI from GM and Ford because he's the proud owner of a 1986 Buick Regal T-Type and 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning. As such, his biggest passion is to envision major comebacks from defunct nameplates – like the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, mercury Marauder, Buick Roadmaster (Sedan and Estate), or Ford Taurus SHO.
Note how all of these are passenger cars. Well, no worries, he also loves big SUVs – especially the old-school full-size body-on-frame two-doors from the F-Series-based Ford Bronco and Chevy K5 Blazer era. However, on this occasion, he's dreaming of a GMC revival of the Jimmy – which was introduced in 1970 and was discontinued earlier than the K5 Blazer, in 1991, to make way for the original 1992 Yukon.
According to the pixel master's vision, there's enough space in GMC's lineup to revive the GMC Jimmy as the two-door counterpart of the Yukon and Yukon XL. However, it wouldn't use their underpinnings but rather choose a much better source – the mighty 2024 GMC Sierra HD AT4X and AEV Edition heavy-duty pickup trucks! So, what do you think?
