GM Unveils Hybrid Truck SUV Aztek and Avalanche
Warren Michigan AP reports General Motors plans two new hybrid models blending pickup and SUV traits. The Pontiac Aztek will debut later this year as an AWD SUV with minivan-inspired seating, while a version of the Chevrolet Avalanche combines a full size SUV cabin with a truck bed, arriving in early 2001. GM aims to revive interest amid competition from Japan and other automakers, with Aztek and Avalanche targeting niche buyers seeking carlike ride and utility. Pontiac will offer front wheel and AWD variants, with price expectations around 23,000 to 27,000 dollars, though official figures were not released.
