Introduced in late 2010 for the 2011 model year, the GL8 II has an all-new appearance with a drastic dip in the side design. The wheelbase is the same as for the GL8 First Land, 3,099 mm (122 in). The chassis is new and the driveline modified. Development took place at PATAC, Shanghai GM’s "Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center". Engines include a 2.4 litre DVVT Ecotec four-cylinder and a 3.0 liter V6, with an available six-speed automatic gearbox for the V6. To differentiate the new GL8 from its predecessor which remains on sale as a "Business Edition", the new one is sold as the "Luxury Business Edition".

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“In all our efforts to provide “advantages” we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history—and possibly the unhappiest. We seem hell-bent on eliminating much of childhood.”
—Eda Le Shan (b. 1922)
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
