  • Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

    Rick Wagoner was sent packing earlier this week, then GM debuted a new buyer assurance program and guaranteed warranties, and Fritz Henderson put out a message of determination in the face of difficulty today, but Corvette's plant in Bowling Green won't be back in full operation until at least July. Slow sales of the sports cars means current stock will last at half-production with just a skeleton crew on duty. Staff at the plant is already down to just 400 people from the 1,000 that worked it in 2007. The local UAW financial secretary Cindy Shelton told Louisville's Courier-Journal that the...

    N2A Motors working on modern Stingray coachbuilt car

    We all have a soft spot in our hearts for at least one type of car, though it's different for each of us. For some, it's a mid-engine turbocharged Toyota MR-2, for others it might be an oddball Citroen DS. For a lot of people, it's the Corvette Stingray, and looking at the plans for the N2A...

    Small car, hybrid sales taking a long drive off a short pier

    The short-sightedness of the car-buying public is breathtaking. It was just months ago that fears over $4 gas prices had people scurrying about, dumping loaded SUVs for a fraction of their purchase price and replacing them with smaller, more efficient vehicles. But today, with fuel well under $2...

  • Chevrolet Volt production prototype platform

    GM has already sunk $750 million into the development of the upcoming Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid and resigned itself to the fact that the car won't be profitable for several years, but that hasn't stopped the company from starting development on the second and third generations of the car's fuel-efficient propulsion system. As with most technology, GM recognizes that first generation technology is expensive but expects future versions to be cheaper and perform better in order to be viable for the mass market. In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, GM's director of global vehicle...

    GM recalls more than 270,000 vehicles due to faulty shifter

    With all the financial strife General Motors finds itself in, the last thing it needs are product recalls bringing into doubt the quality of its vehicles.

  • 2011 Chevrolet Volt

    General Motors has responded to a recent Carnegie Mellon University study claiming that upcoming plug-in hybrids such as the Volt are not actually as efficient as they seem. While cars such as the Volt use large batteries to achieve electric-only ranges of around 40 miles, the study claims that the best compromise between expense and efficiency would be to use smaller batteries giving the cars a range of just 7-12mi (11-20km). Now, GM's vice-president of global program management, Jon Lauckner, has come out to defend the carmaker’s position. Lauckner claims that the study fails to take...

    Are plug-in hybrids too expensive to justify?

    General Motors' Volt and the plug-in hybrid technology behind it has come under fire in the press recently, with critics accusing the car of being too expensive and too inefficient to justify its purchase over a standard hybrid. The argument goes that real-world efficiency of a plug-in hybrid isn't...

  • 2009 Holden Cruze sedan

    Holden has given us a preview of its future small car plans with the unveiling of its own version of the Cruze compact sedan at the Melbourne Motor Show today.

The Aussie version will go on sale in the second quarter of the year and European customers will be able to buy their own Cruze this April. Unfortunately, Americans once again get the short end of the stick as we will have to wait until late next year for its arrival in showrooms. Americans will also likely...
