TRENDING NOW:
What is showing to be an incredibly hot collectors item, the first Chevy Volt for sale is about to close its first day on the online auction block at $180,000. All of the proceeds will go directly to the Detroit Public Schools math and science departments, hopefully to help develop the next generation of EV engineers.
Bidders have until December 14th to place their bid at www.volt.charitybuzz.com – but at this rate, who could afford it by then?
Having already slammed the Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet is now going after the other stalwart of the compact segment – the Honda Civic. In its latest (perfectly-performed) commercial for the Cruze titled Dear Civic, Chevy cites an Edmunds.com report that suggests the Civic should be looking over its shoulder while the Cruze lurks around the city looking for the iconic Japanese compact. Adding some Bugs Bunny nostalgia to the ad, the commercial ends with a precious Elmer Fudd catchphrase: “It’s wabbit season” “It’s Civic season.” Continue past the break for the 30-second spot. You gotta see this one!

General Motors looks to further strengthen its dedication and efforts to push the envelope on electric vehicle (EV) technology by hiring over 1,000 new hands that will be charged with the task of engineering and researching the next batch of the company’s EVs. And they will all be hired from Michigan. Who says Michigan ain’t hiring? Continue reading.
Now that the ever-expected Zeta-based Chevy sedan seems to be one step closer on its way (for real, this time), the real question is what it will be named. GM’s bow tie brand has many classic names to choose from, so vote for your favorite in the poll below!
Starting today (Nov. 30th) and running through 6 p.m. on December 14th, the second Chevrolet Volt suited for retail will be on an online auction block, with all proceeds going to Detroit Public Schools math and science departments. Why not the first Chevrolet Volt? Because General Motors will be holding onto that piece of history, as a symbol of accomplishment for its engineers and all others involved in the Volt program that managed to bring the milestone vehicle alive from a paper sketch in a span of just 39 months.

Buick has just pulled the wraps off the all-new GL8 in Shanghai, a vehicle it describes as a “luxury MPV.” Sure, it may not be the typical family-haulin’ minivan, but this people-mover exclusive to the Chinese market certainly tickles our interest. Continue reading for the full story
As owners of many GM vehicles know very well, GM’s and OnStar’s recently-released suite of mobile apps are nothing short of impressive. However, these applications are only compatible with 2011 (and newer) model year vehicles, leaving owners of older models out of luck. But if messages from Twitter are to be believed, owners of older models may soon get the royal app treatment as well. Really? Continue reading.
Apparently if you want a slab of trade secrets, all you have to do is pick up a copy of Overhaul: An Insider’s Account of the Obama Administration’s Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry by Steven Rattner. Amongst the pages of his accounts on leading the Automotive Task Force, Rattner revealed that each and every 2011 Chevrolet Volt costs roughly $40,000 just to produce. Continue reading.
