'GMC - I Wonder Why'

GMC - I Wonder Why

When I was still a kid, I wonder why most of the vehicles I saw in movies are all branded with GMC. Every time I turn myself into watching a film, the chasing part of the enemy and the protagonist will always include a GMC truck or a GMC pick up.

The last that I saw with GMC vehicles used is the movie Transformers. If you look more into the movie, you will notice that except for one of the main characters like a yellow Porsche, a Hummer, a Volks Beetle, a mazda, a Pontiac soltice, 10 wheeler trucks and a couple of others, the ruling number of brands that is used is the GMC. Ironhide, an autobot, is a GMC Topkick Pick Up Truck who specializes in weapons.

Now that I have grown up, I still wonder, why GMC? Let's find out.

Notice the other characters in movies. Like the FBI and the polices and even top secret agents. Mainly they use GMC Yukon or GMC Sierra, sometimes called with its counterpart's name as Chevrolet Silverado.

For the sake of others, GMC or GM as what other people call it, is the General Motors Corporation. It is one of the world's leader in auto manufacturing since 1931. GM is now the world's largest automaker beating Toyota by a slim margin in 2007.

GM has bases in all parts of the world. And the cars are manufactured under different brands but still under the mother company. GM brand manufacturers are like Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Daewoo, GMC, Holden, HUmmer, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Vauxhall. For the recent years, GM has revised their old models and named them as hybrids. Although there are only limited vehicles who carry GMC as the brand, it is still known worldwide for its dazzling look and performance.
