You can see Buick's Wildcat EV concept - which is featured in this new video - here.
Calling it the "Official Vehicle of Nowhere" and the "most advanced midsize truck," GMC has introduced the 2023 GMC Canyon. Featuring a fully redesigned exterior with a standard factory lift and widened track across the lineup, a new premium suite of advanced technology and an all-new interior design, the next-generation Canyon is definitely a big step forward from previous models. The 2023 model year Canyon aslo introduces the Canyon AT4X option to its lineup. The AT4X sub-brand is GMC’s commitment to delivering serious off-road capability. First introduced on the 2022 Sierra, the AT4X trim has quickly become synonymous with robust off-road credibility. “GMC is flexing the might of our off-road muscle,” said GMC Global Vice President Duncan Aldred. “Canyon benefits from key learnings gained from our AT4 strategy to bring customers the most advanced off-road midsize truck.” The 2023 GMC Canyon will be the first midsize truck on the market to offer a suite of segment-first key features, including: Available underbody cameras, including front- and rear-facing views underneath the vehicle; Available Head-Up Display; Fully digital driver information center; Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and available Google Built-In (Google Automotive Services).

The AE Song of the Week:
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
(Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky)
(Mr. Blue Sky)
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do (blue)
Everybody smiles at you
(Please turn me over)
