a. Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, January 16, 1996-- 19 General Motofs Outlook General Motors of Canada expects to sell 396,000 cars and light.trucks in 1996 - roughly one third of anticipated 'total Canadian sales of 1.2 million - Maureen Kempston Darkes, GM's president and general manager said last week. Speaking to members of the Quebec media prior to the opening of fhe 1996 Montreal International Auto Show, she said: "We anticipate GM of Canada sales" will increase to approximately . 396,000 vehicles in 1996, with both cars and trucks showing incfeases." GM of Canada sold a total 5f 384,270 vehicles in the 1995 calendar year. | Kempston Darkes also predicted that 1996 will be "another challenging year, both for the auto industry and the Canadian economy. / Economic indicators point toward a modest, but tentative expansion in 1996." She Shid: "Governments today need to get their debts' and deficits down as well as to focus on questions of affordability and consumers' disposable income. Increased consumer disposable income is the key to increase industry sales." Governments must forgo tax increases as a way to deal with the deficit ahd should also be cautious about' the kind of regulations and legislation they bring forward." Three new 1997 model year GM sedans are making their Canadian debut at the auto show - the Cadillac Catera, the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Buick LeSabre. The all new, rear-wheel drive '1997 Catera, manufactured in Germany, represents Cadillac's move into the entry luxury car market segment. Built by Adam Opel AG, it is symbolic of General Motors' evolution to a global focus. In unveiling it for the first time in Canada, Kempston Darkes said the Cadillac Catera was "jointly developed by engineers and designers in North America and Germany," and is built using high quality components from GM's global supply network.

In the 1997 Grand Prix sport sedan, Pontiac introduces a mid-size four- door car with the upbeat personality of a sports coupe. Powertrains include two engines recently named by a major auto magazine as being among the ten best the normally- aspirated and the supercharged versions of GM's 3800 Series II V6 engines. The redesigned, six passenger Buick LeSabre will be the first 1997 model to go on sale in dealer showrooms in North America. Ag Family Circle __ magazin! 'family car of the year' in 1993 and 1995, LeSabre maintains its Peputation as being the best car on the market for carrying parents and their 'children safely, reliably and comfortably. For the 1996 model year, other new products include all-new Saturn vehicles and, ida few months, completely redesigned full- size vans, the Chevrdigt ] Express and GMC Savana. Also, the Ste. Therese- produced 1996 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird include, as standard equipment on base models, the same new 200 horsepower 3800 Series II V6 engines featured in the 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix. Turning to trucks, Kempston Darkes predicted that "with such innovations as the third door, which allows better access to the rear seat for both passengers and cargo, our light trucks will continue to appeal, particularly in Quebec, where truck sales account for more than 32 percent of all vehicle sales." She noted the trucks featuring the third door, or "easy access system" Oshawa-built full-size, extended cab Chevy and GMC pickups, as well as the Chevy S-Series and GMC Sonoma trucks - are expected to be of major benefit to disabled drivers or passengers who use wheel-chairs and must store them in the vehicles when they travel.
