General Motors and Hyundai Motor on Wednesday outlined plans to develop five vehicles as they seek to lower costs amid growing competition from nimble Chinese rivals.

The deal would give GM access to hybrid technology it lacks, while enabling Hyundai to enter into new segments such as vans in North America and mid-sized pickups, Kim Sung-rae, an analyst at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said.

Supposedly Hyundai is likely going to get version of the Missouri-built Chevrolet Colorado, but it might only be sold in South America. GM will get some Hyundai-developed compact ICE and Hybrid-Electric cars for south America.

Both will collaboratively develop a smaller version of the Chevrolet Brightdrop EV - likely made in Georgia or Michigan since they are both suddenly more conservative with investing in entirely new EV products on their own.

They are co-developing some new ones, but several vehicles likely being rebadged in the North and South American market are already in production:

maybe between the two of them, they can build a vehicle with a transmission and engine that aren't complete dogshit.

They are developing a whole new V8 engine family.

Rumor is that some of the stuff people don't like (auto start/stop and cylinder deactivation) will be optional on some models. But I'm sure the next Democrat to take office will roll everything back to crazy and they'll have to make those features mandatory again.
