TUCSON, Ariz. — Last week, transportation company executives, fleet managers, dealers and select members of the automotive press converged on the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, Ariz., for the 2013 GM Product Preview. The resort, a desert oasis surrounded by cactus-armored hills, hosted three days and two nights of cocktail receptions, business meetings and vehicle test drives.
Ed Peper, vice president of GM Fleet and Commercial Operations, said the three brand pillars are great products, innovative business solutions, and exceptional customer experience. Executives from the various GM brands, including Don Butler, vice president of Cadillac marketing, spoke to a full audience about new vehicles, technology, design, and GM’s commitment to customer service.
Since words could only do so much to convey the quality of GM’s products, the automaker hosted a “Ride & Drive” event where conference attendees could hop in almost any GM vehicle and take it for a spin on the highway. While several models of the mid-size Cadillac CTS sedan and Escalade SUV were available for testing, the new 2013 Cadillac XTS was only available by invitation only and was not out at the main test drive area.
