Phil Brook, GMC vice president of marketing while talking with a leading publisher said “It’s a combination of an incredibly capable truck and a supercar. Those sorts of times are in that ballpark, it is very different from anything we’ve ever done before,”
Brook also said that they have no plans to launch an IC powered Hummer. He also said “I think there’s an opportunity for us not just to extend where GMC is today from a customer base but also bring new customers in who hadn’t considered us before as well,”
