EXCLUSIVE: One of America’s biggest-selling pick-ups – the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 – is just weeks away from arriving in Holden showrooms. An eagle-eyed CarAdvice reader has caught on camera one of the first examples to hit Australian roads. The photos appear to have been taken right outside the Holden Special Vehicles production facility in Melbourne.

Chevrolet has revealed its 2021 Tahoe and Suburban full-size SUVs, redesigned to use the T1 platform from the latest Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks. The new Chevy SUVs will go on sale mid-next year in North America and will be followed at a later date by their GMC twins, the Yukon and Yukon XL. The T1 platform will also spawn a new generation of Cadillac Escalade.

General Motors (GM) has filed a lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler (FCA), claiming the rival's bribery of officials from the United Auto Workers (UAW) union caused it serious financial damage. GM alleges FCA instigated a “multi-year pattern of corruption” to “undermine the integrity of the collective bargaining process and cause GM substantial damages".

Around 49,000 workers at General Motors plants across the United States have gone on strike after negotiations between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and the automaker broke down over the weekend. This is the first nationwide strike against GM since 2007, when the automaker was trying to reduce its pension and healthcare burden as part of an effort to stave off bankruptcy.

The new larger Chevrolet Blazer 'XL' has been spied undergoing testing in Germany, of all places. The location where this prototype vehicle was spotted is a little surprising given GM sold its Opel and Vauxhall brands to the PSA Group in 2017, and shuttered the Chevrolet brand in much of Europe in 2015. Sources have told GM Authority the seven-seat Blazer is being developed for China, but could also be sold in South Korea and South America.
