Another year, another Thanksgiving is upon us. That means it’s time to round up what the GM Authority staff is thankful for after many happenings across the industry.
This year, we opened it up to be a little more broad as to what our staff could be thankful for, rather than just one particular vehicle. So, below, you will find our thoughts on this Thanksgiving. Feel free to talk to us in the comment section below but, most importantly, have a happy Thanksgiving from us, to you.

I’m thankful for GM’s investment into Cadillac, the future products, and associated expansion this will bring. By association, I’m also thankful that Cadillac has chosen RWD as its strategy (XT5 notwithstanding). The world needs more RWD cars!
Francisco Cruz
I’m thankful for the cheap speed that comes from the 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec engines. But, more importantly, I’m thankful for my Saab.

Last year, I was thankful for my Pontiac G8 but, since then, I’ve swapped everything over to Holden VE Commodore. The questions, the intrigued looks and the comments make me incredibly thankful for the enthusiast community, because I have no problem explaining the car’s roots at nearly every fuel pump I find myself at. Furthermore, I’m also thankful some bright minds are scooping up VF Commodores in the form of Chevrolet SS.

I’m thankful for the small-block V8 and everything that encompasses it. More importantly, I’m thankful that jobs like this actually exist, that allow me to do what I love for a living. Finally, I’m thankful for the car enthusiast culture as a whole, and the influence they continue to bring to the table every year.

What–nothing from Chris.
Most thankful to have stumbled across this site, very informative and love the interaction, even with Scott3! Scott enjoy your thoughtful comments, just so happens we don’t always agree.
Chris I’m not picking on you but it seems that most of the topics that interest me the most are those you have written. Sorry for being critical of GM, but this is a very competitive world especially in the auto market and second best and excuses just don’t cut it. Being frank, GM needs to step up their game.
Happy Thanksgiving to all at GM Authority and to all those that participate in the comment section.
Thanks for being the go to site for all gm news. Very well written articles! Happy thanksgiving to all!
A real big thank you for putting the incredible Chevy SS in the front row with the Corvette and the Camaro . GM management probably never knew what a marvellous car they had here , and they probably will not lose any sleep, over it , after it’s gone ,… a shame really !!
I am thankful for GM’s decision to leverage Opel engineering through Buick and now also Holden. It will provide these brands with great cars and allow Opel to achieve economies of scale it needs to compete in the fierce market place.
