A sure thing for the showroom is a version of GMC&#8217;s Sonoma GTX Sportside that is on&nbsp; the auto-show circuit this year. To use GMC&#8217;s words, the compact-size Sonoma GTX &#8220;is the latest expression of its goal of translating automobile high performance technology-oriented engineering, comfort and convenience features and overall safety in light-duty trucks.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a growing similarity in what customers want in an automobile and in a personal-use truck, according to GMC Truck general manager, Lewis Campbell: &#8220;We can see the day, just a few years in the future, when almost every high-tech &#8216;car-like&#8217; comfort, convenience and safety item will also be available on every personal-use GMC truck.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sonoma GTX Sportside, as its full name indicates, has a sportside cargo bed, a style which is currently not offered on any production compact. There&#8217;s also a front air dam with integrated fog lamps, recessed grille and a rear spoiler integrated with the tailgate. The truck&#8217;s unusual (for a truck) raspberry color will be available on some future GMC trucks. The production version of the Sonoma GTX will arrive in the 1994 model year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1992\/05\/AutoWeek-5-11-92.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of AutoWeek 5-11-92.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-fa197c8e-c607-4e3a-ae16-fde1108a1c5c\" href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1992\/05\/AutoWeek-5-11-92.pdf\">AutoWeek 5-11-92<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1992\/05\/AutoWeek-5-11-92.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-fa197c8e-c607-4e3a-ae16-fde1108a1c5c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autoweek <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pilotpre-production","category-sonoma-gtx","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3171,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions\/3171"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
