Shownotes:
The first-ever GMC Sierra Denali 3500 made its debut on a humid, cloudy morning at the remote Milan dragway in southern Michigan. In the presence of eight other pickups trucks, including a rival Ford F-350 Super Duty and a handful of automotive journalists (including yours truly) and engineers for the Pickuptrucks.com HD Shootout, the truck seemed to have been the life of the party. Bottom line: if the 2500 Sierra Denali HD isn’t enough to bring out the alpha male in you, the full-ton dually version should do the trick. Continue reading…
Having received favorable reviews throughout the automotive industry, the all-new Buick Regal is certainly a vehicle of great critical acclaim. And as the newest addition to Buick’s lineup makes its way to dealer lots, Buick is looking to spread the good word about the car to the public at large. Today, it has launched the first of a series of television commercials that are all part of an ad campaign for the new Buick Regal. Watch the ad and continue reading…
As General Motors gears up for to launch its much-anticipated Chevy Volt, our favorite automaker is doing its very best to spread the word about the plug-in EREV.
But the Volt faces a fairly important barrier: many members of the general populous (read: those who don’t read GM Authority) seem to misunderstand the Volt and its purpose – falsely believing that the car is a pure electric vehicle (EV) that competes in the same class as other EVs like the Nissan Leaf.
However, as GM Authority readers and listeners know all to well, the Volt is really a very advanced plug-in hybrid: it’s equipped with an onboard gasoline engine-generator that powers the Volt’s electric motors when the battery pack has been depleted (see a real-life scenario here). In an effort to further solidify the fact that the Volt isn’t your typical electric vehicle, GM took a pre-production Chevy Volt on a trip from Austin, TX to New York City – a total distance of 1,776 miles.

A few weeks ago, the good folks over at Autoblog covered the list of ten overlooked vehicles compiled by Edmunds. That article sparked our interest, since a GM product – the new Buick LaCrosse – made Edmunds’ list. This sparked me to think about some of the other overlooked vehicles from The General. What are they?
Buick and the GM Supplier Diversity Program sponsored the 24th Annual 100 Black Men of America Conference in Hollywood, FL. The organization focuses on improving the quality of life for African Americans, especially for the youth, and this year’s conference focused on “mentoring for a lifetime” by connecting America’s youth with leading entrepreneurs, government officials, educators, clergy, business executives and entertainers.

Today, Manoli and Alex discuss GM’s CUVs – more specifically, The General’s strategy behind its crossover program, its tendency to make ‘em bigger, and what we can expect going forward.
Enjoy the discussion and be sure to cast your vote after the break!
Just when you thought they’ve done it all, General Motors has pulled out all the stops with their latest offer for buyers of the Z06 and ZR1, who now have a chance to help build their very own engine! That’s right, whether it’s an LS7 or blown LS9, the customer can now help create his or her own power plant at the 100,000 square foot Wixom, Michigan Performance Build Center (PBC)! As a way to “reconnect” with the Corvette enthusiast community, GM hopes to persuade more and more individuals to plant their hind end in a new Corvette. Continue reading.
Holden, GM’s Australian subsidiary, has embraced the slogan and competitive practice of its parent company. Holden has introduced the May The Best Car Win program, which was first launched by General Motors North America in September 2009. Just like the GM campaign in the United States and Canada, Holden dares car shoppers to put its cars to the test and, well, May The Best Car Win! Read more…
