End of the Timeline
Here's an overview of what happens to the five GM marques onwards:
CHEVROLET: The Impala was redesigned in 2012 and got refreshed in 2016. The Chevelle was refreshed in 2011 as was the Commodore and then redesigned in 2017. This redesign killed the El Camino as Utes were no longer made by Holden. The Cobalt is still replaced by the Cruze and the Aveo becomes the Sonic. The Spark is never produced.
As for SUV's, the bigger ones remain the same. The Trailblazer was redesigned in 2010 and got a refresh in 2016. The Equinox remain a the same. The Trax debuted in 2012 and was refreshed in 2016. The current OTL Blazer doesn't exist.
The C7 Corvette went mid engine in 2013 and a redesigned C8 will happen in 2020. The Camaro remains as is.
The Silverado remains the same. The Colorado was redesigned in 2010 and got a facelift in 2016.
The Express and Astro are imported Renault vans.
PONTIAC: The Grand Am is based on the Opel Insignia just like stalemate Chevy Chevelle. The Grand Prix was redesigned in 2010 and then again in 2016. It is similar to OTL Malibu. The Bonneville returned to an American design and platform in 2012 alongside the Impala. The Sunfire is basically the Cruze, and the Vibe was discontinued in 2011 after a 2009 redesign.
The Fiero was redesigned in 2011 and then again in 2018. It is Pontiac's best selling model. The Firebird also is doing well in sales thanks to the Trans Am.
The Torrent is a rebadged Equinox.
OLDSMOBILE: The Alero is the Insignia. The Cutlass is the Grand Prix. The 88 is discontinued after 2009. The Aurora is a nicer Impala. The Vue is the Torrent/Equinox. The Expression is a nicer Traverse. The Starfire is a nicer Fiero. Oldsmobile also went back into small cars by importing the Opel Adam to compete with the Mini Cooper. It didn't and lasted 2013-19.
CADILLAC: The Catera was redesigned in 2008 and added a Coupe, convertible, and Wagon. They were all redesigned again in 2014. The Seville was redesigned in 2010 and refreshed in 2017. The Deville went on a hiatus between 2010 and 14 before finally returning in 2015. The Eldorado returned with it. The Escalade remained as is OTL. The Serrano got larger to be alongside the Traverse/Expression/Acadia in 2010. A smaller SUV called the Alba debuted and then was redesigned in 2017. A compact SUV was never made.
As for the more premium offerings,the Allante was redesigned in 2011. It remains as a front engine sportster. The LaSalle was discontinued that year due to dwindling sales.
GMC: GMC does what Chevy does with Trucks, SUV'S, and Vans.
FUCK the Volt and Bolt.
