The 2017 GMC Sierra All-Terrain, a new variant, has been added to the American carmaker’s line-up in the UAE and GCC. It was launched in the U.S. last year as the All Terrain X.

GM’s Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) is a brand synonymous with absolute insanity in the car world. Based in Australia, this brand makes nothing but brawny versions of regular Holden cars. Our Middle Eastern market was given a taste of HSV with the rebranded CSV CR8 in 2008 which came in as a 425 hp 6.2-litre V8 rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet sedan (which made it onto our ultra-short Editor’s Choice list). Holden’s rear-wheel-drive sedans are on their death-bed right now due to slow sales, but HSV saw it fit to give the car a rousing send-off with the new GTSR models.

GMC has revealed their all-new 2018 Terrain crossover at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. Built on GMC’s D2XX platform, the 2018 Terrain resembles the bigger Acadia in many ways, but GMC has done quite a bit of work to keep the brothers differentiated visually.

The 2017 Chevrolet Aveo has been properly facelifted for the first time in a decade. The Aveo name was relegated largely to fleet duties, but it is making a comeback as a Sonic replacement with new infotainment tech.

Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller were in the news earlier this week after a Wired magazine story showed the two programmers access critical vehicle controls on a Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions.

However, Chrysler is not the first brand to be vulnerable to hacking, as Chevrolet and BMW were in the news for the same reason this year.

Redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Silverado for 2014, the GMC Sierra is pretty much a clone of the aforementioned Chevy, save for the front end. The version we’re testing here is some sort of well-optioned trim, complete with body-coloured bumpers and shiny alloy wheels, but still stands one level below the chrome-grilled Sierra Denali model.

If the regular GMC Acadia is not nearly enough in terms of equipment, there is the GMC Acadia Denali to up the bling factor. We kept one for a few days to use as family transportation, during Dubai’s worst sandstorm ever, three weeks ago.

On one of our trips to the United States last month, we managed to get behind the wheel of a car that a lot of people in the GCC want to buy, but is not officially offered in our part of the world. Well, not offered any more anyway. We drove the 2015 Chevrolet SS, a rebadged version of the facelifted one-and-only Holden Commodore from Australia, which in a previous life used to be sold in Saudi Arabia, UAE and elsewhere as the Chevrolet Lumina.
