Stand Out with the 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition
Last week, Chevrolet announced the University of Texas Edition for the 2015 Chevy Silverado. This week, it’s time for the Silverado’s sibling truck, the 2015 GMC Sierra, to take the spotlight. In honor of that notion, General Motors today announced the 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition, which is meant to add some flair to the already distinctive pickup.

“The beauty of the new Sierra lies in its strength and sophistication,” explained Stuart Pierce, Sierra marketing manager. “But for customers wanting to stand out and make a strong statement, the Sierra Carbon Edition models are the answer.”
