    After fifty years of swinging together, the long-running marriage of Buick and the PGA pro golf tour is coming to an end. Partly a victim of GM's restructuring--and also partly Buick's desire to sell more cars to younger buyers--the end of the PGA sponsorship follows on the heels of GM's split with golf legend Tiger Woods last November. Buick had been the title sponsor for two big PGA events, the Buick Open in Michigan, and the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines. And just last weekend, the Buick Open concluded with--who else?--Tiger Woods winning the GM brand's namesake tourney. Buick's...

  • 2010 Opel Meriva MPV preview rendering

    The next-generation Opel Meriva compact MPV has been caught undergoing testing on several occasions, but so far prototypes have always been heavily camouflaged. Many details, however, were still discernible, including the overall shape, which remains close to the original Meriva concept from last year's Geneva Motor Show. This computer generated rendering gives us a good indication as to what the final version will look like. The simple and attractive front fascia, minimalist outlines, and overall configuration remain very close to the concept’s design, however. Small detail differences...

  • 2010 buick lacrosse first drive 015

    Buick is getting some fresh new thinking from General Motors, and not all of it is in the product lineup. Instead of carrying a large inventory of vehicles on dealer lots, Buick will limit its output of the new 2010 LaCrosse, running with a 75 to 90-day supply, says BUick vice president Susan Docherty. Smaller, nimbler carmakers like Acura often carry small - by industry standards - inventories of the vehicles they sell to limit overproduction, and therefore the amount of vehicles they're forced to discount heavily. Even Buick's 75-90 day goal is a bit on the large side, however, as Acura and...

    Report: GM working on new dedicated hybrid

    General Motors' engineers are quick to point out that the 2011 Chevrolet Volt isn't a hybrid at all - it's powered only by electricity, with the combustion engine serving only to extend its range. But according to a new report, GM does have plans for a dedicated, high-efficiency hybrid to one-up...

  • Meet the new GM...not quite the same as the old GM

    Lighter, smaller, quicker and more responsive to customer needs - that's how the new General Motors Company is comparing itself to the now-defunct General Motors Corporation it replaces. Today's emergence from bankruptcy - just 40 days after it went in - marks the start of what the new GM hopes will be a very different way of doing business. The core points of the new GM plan were released in an announcement this morning, with more details to follow shortly in a media call with CEO Fritz Henderson. Central to the new GM manifesto is an openness to customer input, a new buying structure that...
