General Motors will build a next‑generation Cadillac CT5 replacement, a next‑generation Chevrolet Camaro and a new Buick sedan on an updated Alpha 2 rear‑wheel‑drive platform, with production expected to begin at the Lansing Grand River plant in fall 2027, Automotive News reports citing an unnamed supplier.
The unnamed supplier said GM has started requesting quotes for parts for the Buick sedan, but details on price, styling and exact timing for that model were not provided. The Lansing Grand River plant currently builds the CT4 and CT5 and is slated to assemble the next‑generation models.
GM expects to produce 60,000 to 70,000 CT5 and Camaro vehicles annually at Lansing, the supplier said. Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, said adding a third model would boost utilization but that sedan demand in the U.S. is limited.
The vehicles will ride on a new version of GM’s Alpha 2 platform, potentially dubbed Alpha 2‑2, and the Buick would mark a return to rear‑wheel drive for the brand after about 30 years.
