GM’s Real Truck Problem is Lack of Innovation - Automobile Magazine
The upgrades to the 2014 half-tons would make for a decent mid-cycle refresh.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about GM’s abundance of 2012 and 2013 Silverados and Sierras. That’s by design as GM intentionally increased the supply of older trucks to compensate for the time factories must shut down to tool up for production of the 2014 model year pickups. GM’s real problem is the lack of innovation in those new 2014 trucks.

The 2013 MKZ is quite good, but it’s not enough.

The 2013 MKZ is Lincoln’s valiant attempt to create a better Lexus. Like the brand-new Toyota luxury division 20 years ago, Lincoln management hopes to redefine luxury. Its first effort, the 2013 MKZ, is quite good. It’s not enough though, because Ford Motor Company is not willing to give its remaining premium division adequate cash and resources.
