GM scouring the globe for next Corvette design, first time looking beyond U.S

The Chevrolet Corvette is a uniquely American invention. It’s the quintessential sportscar from the land that brought us baseball and apple pie. Interesting, then, that General Motors would choose to seek out design studies from its various styling studios from all around the globe, particularly those in Europe.
According to AutoWeek, though, that’s just what […]

First Test: 2010 GMC Terrain SLT AWD

In case you missed the memos that have been circulating around product planning offices in Tokyo, Detroit, Wolfsburg and Seoul, the midsize crossover utility vehicle (CUV) segment is officially on fire.

Review: 2010 Cadillac CTS Sportwagon eats up cargo, swallows open road

In Europe, the humble station wagon holds a big-time slice of the family driver demographic, partly because ridiculous petrol prices make big SUVs and crossovers far too uneconomical.

Along with Cadillac’s unique angular styling and a full complement of amenities, the SRX surprised us […]

General Motors has just announced that the Camaro will pack its bags and head to the Middle East […]

More GM Cuts: Cadillac STS-V and Pontiac G6 GXP both gone for 2010

Pluto, the Roman god of Hades, is currently on a tour of the General Motors product garage and he’s taking a few cars with him from the land of the living. After sending the Impala SS and the Cobalt SS to the underworld, he has just added to his collection the Cadillac STS-V and Pontiac […]

2009 New York Auto Show Preview: 2010 GMC Terrain prepares to polarize

While GMC’s new-for-2010 Terrain crossover may be all but identical to Chevrolet’s Equinox, one look at this bluff-faced polarizing design will tell you that badge-engineering wasn’t part of the program at General Motors. Yes, both vehicles share the same platform, the same engine choices and even the same suspension calibrations, but the in-your-face look here […]
