But it was greater knowing that it would do so with a model that would continue its purest essence: a large pick-up and SUV. The thing did not sit so well when it was learned that they were going to be electric and that it would be sold under the GMC brand. With everything, things changed when the GMC Hummer EV debuted because in a few hours the reserves were exhausted.
Since then, those responsible for General Motors and GMC have done nothing more than advertise it. He was in the Super Bowl halftime commercials and, in addition, they have not been afraid to show their validation tests. And it is not the only thing, because now they return to celebrate in style that they have already manufactured the first unit. In addition, she arrives with a gift under her arm, since she was auctioned off to obtain funds for a good cause...
