Is General Motors Going to Reveal its 2015 SUV Lineup at Texas State Fair?

If the rumors are true, General Motors will reveal its newest lineup of SUVs during this year’s Texas State Fair.

Like the all-new 2014 GMC Sierra they’re based on, the 2015 Chevy Tahoe and 2015 GMC Yukon have been hotly anticipated since spy photos of the vehicles first began circulating. Those photos, which featured the SUVs in camouflage, ignited a debate over how much change this next generation will bring. Although the exterior appears relatively unaltered, many believe that the interiors of the vehicles are getting a major revamping to provide more space and better safety features. It makes sense that the Texas State Fair would be selected as the venue for the SUV 2015 lineup debut. The state prizes itself on size, offers a large market for General Motors and hosts a factory where the vehicles in question are manufactured.

One General Motors SUV that will definitely not be making its debut during the fair, which begins on September 27th, is the 2015 Cadillac Escalade. The luxury sports utility vehicle is a top earner for GM; and, it is already confirmed that it will get its own, stand-alone debut in October. The Escalade will feature the same K2XX platform, but is expected to rise in horsepower, powertrain options and price.

General Motors could use some good will during the 2015 SUV reveal. Although hopes are high for its upcoming 2015 models, the company is still dealing with the outcome of an SUV recall which began a year ago but has continued to expand through the summer of 2013. Several of its 2006 – 2007 SUVs have been recalled due to electrical problems. These electrical problems, which involved the vehicle’s power windows, are thought to be fire hazards.

Not everyone thought GM would make it this far, particular when the company nearly folded in 2008. It was only the intervention of the United States government which prevented its total collapse. However, the company has been on the rise since its reorganization. Uncle Sam owns less and less of its shares and savvy billionaire Warren Buffet owns more. Its United States Cadillac sales alone have grown by a third, while its international Chevy sales are higher than ever.

It is worthwhile to note that the State Fair of Texas rumors have not been substantiated by an official source. Unlike the announcement that the Escalade would be featured in October, there has been no definite confirmation regarding the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon from the company.
