General Motors – other models: the collective page of GM vehicles outside the named ranges, from the Buick Enclave and GMC Envoy through the Pontiac Aztek and Saab 9-4X to the Isuzu Hombre and Ascender
This page gathers General Motors vehicles that the register could not assign to a named range – from the wide brand portfolio of the Detroit-based group, which over the decades has included, alongside Buick, Chevrolet and GMC, also Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, Sweden's Saab and Australia's Holden. Several of the models listed here arose from the long-standing cooperation with Isuzu, in which GM held a stake for decades: the Isuzu Hombre was a rebadged Chevrolet S-10, the Isuzu i-Series the Japanese version of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, and the Isuzu Ascender a sister model of the GMC Envoy and Chevrolet TrailBlazer. Similarly, Holden in Australia linked the GM group with local body variants such as the Suburban.

The register lists here 17 versions, from the compact vans Chevrolet Lumina APV and Chevrolet Venture through the SUV ranges Buick Rainier, Buick Rendezvous, GMC Envoy and GMC Typhoon to the crossover models Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, as well as the Pontiac Aztek and the Saab 9-4X.
The vehicles reflect GM's transformation: brands such as Pontiac, Saturn and Saab were discontinued during the group's crisis and restructuring of 2009/2010, and the Saab 9-4X reached the market only shortly before the brand's end. Models such as the GMC Typhoon or the Pontiac Aztek are now regarded as distinct chapters of American automotive history, independent of their market success at the time.
On used vans and SUVs, rust on the underbody and wheel arches, the condition of the automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive system, and the history of suspension and brakes count; on the badge-engineered Isuzu models it is worth noting that many spare parts run through the Chevrolet or GMC network. For discontinued brands such as Saab, Pontiac and Saturn, parts supply is more limited than for the GM brands that continue.

- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
