GMC Granite Concept SUV Holds Full Size Bike
With the 2010 Detroit Auto Show underway, it was only a matter of time before a bike-friendly concept vehicle would hit the web.
One of the first concepts spotted that marketed towards cycling was the GMC Granite, a compact SUV with big storage space. The GMC Granite, strictly a concept vehicle at the moment, features folding seats and suicide doors. In tandem, the seats and doors allow a full size bike easy entry with both wheels intact.
If GMC’s bike-friendly concept goes into production, you can expect it to come equipped with front wheel drive, powered by a turbo charged 1.4L inline four cylinder engine.
The design to hold a bicycle is a joke. My old jetta cold hold a full size bike in my trunk with the back seat folded down and still have my girl sit next to me. In my current Element it holds two bikes upright and my girl still sits next to me not behind me.
