GM banks on refinement to lure buyers to GMC Canyon, a new small pickup truck

DETROIT – General Motors says don’t blame consumers for the shrinking market for small pickups. The trucks haven’t been very good.
So, in hopes that better quality will win back buyers, GM is rolling out two new small trucks in a segment that Ford and Chrysler have abandoned and Honda and Nissan are struggling with.
GM Sunday showed off a more upscale GMC Canyon ahead of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It already unveiled the Chevrolet Colorado in Los Angeles last year. Both are due in showrooms in the fall.
