KEY ORDERING DEADLINES As we continue to receive manufacturer ordering deadlines for the 2019 model year, it is important to remember that all order cutoff dates are subject to change, sometimes without advance notice from the manufacturer. Please be aware that placing an order with a manufacturer on or before the scheduled cutoff date does not necessarily guarantee order fulfillment.

To help secure vehicles with preferred specifications, please submit your final orders as early as possible, or no later than 12:00PM two business days prior to the scheduled manufacturer cutoff date. Your ARI representative is on hand to assist you with your ordering needs.

It would be built on GM’s C1 platform, which is used for the Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Acadia and the Cadillac XT5. The vehicle is tentatively scheduled for production in late 2019.  The was discontinued in mid-February and will likely return as a crossover by 2021.  In March 2019, Buick trademarked the Envista name but it is unclear at this time whether or not this badge will be applied to a future vehicle in their lineup, but it will likely show up on a crossover.  Buick will also add a new crossover to their lineup based on the Cadillac XT4 that has been tentatively been named the Enspire.

 In the summer of 2019, GM will offer a new Duramax 3-liter inline-six turbodiesel on their full-size pickups that will produce 277 hp and 460 lb ft of torque and it will be mated to a 10-speed automatic.  The Sierra 1500 will offer the industry’s first carbon fiber composite box with production expected to begin in April 2019.
