TRENDING NOW:
The General Motors Tonawanda, NY engine plant is currently undergoing an $825 million makeover in preparation for the production of The General’s two vital next-generation engine lines in the years to come. From what we gather, the next line of V8 engines will feature direct-injection (like the 2.4 liter ECOTEC motor) and an “advanced combustion system”. However, new technology for the ECOTEC four-bangers remains under wraps.

With Chevrolet carefully dancing around the (non-SS) performance segment with the Z-Spec line of show cars, we thought we’d ask what your favorite Z-Spec vehicle is. So, is it:

If it had wings, I would probably have mistaken it for the next generation Air Force stealth fighter plane. At first glance, the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe basking in the morning light on my driveway was bold, it was sexy, and it was (temporarily) mine. At least that’s what I told the ladies that asked me when the lights flickered as I pressed the key fob. Continue reading.
Move over Corvette Racing. Or better yet, don’t. Just continue to be awesome, just as the new Cadillac CTS-V Coupe SCCA race cars are awesome. We can’t wait until March 25th. Just… watch the video after the break. You know what to do.
This article is part of the GM Authority Mailbag segment, where the GM Authority Crew features and replies to your questions, comments, and observations on the blog, each and every Sunday.
This one comes to us from Albert in Maine, who writes:
“Hello to all in the GM Authority crew! I’ve been eying the Cruze 2LT/LTZ for quite some time now, itching to replace my 1994 Blazer. I’ve visited my local Chevy store and have test driven this car probably more than I would be proud to say. I love everything about the Cruze but — the reason for the numerous test drives — is that I simply can’t bring myself to buy a vehicle with such a tremendous amount of turbo lag.
So here’s my question: is it just me or does the Cruze lag epically more than other cars? Being a hardcore GM guy, I’m ashamed to be looking forward to the new Focus… but if it doesn’t have the turbo lag of the Cruze — that’s where my money will go. Thanks and keep up the great work.
PS: I’ve already turned more than 10 of my buddies to daily GM Authority readers!”
In a room within the locked-down confines of the Milford Proving Grounds that somewhat resembles a scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, General Motors engineers are working every day to develop a better antenna receiver. The $750,000 antenna testing system — what General Motors claims is the first of its kind in the world — was developed with antenna company SATIMO and shoots signals from 103 individual probes at the vehicle rotating on a platform in the center of the structure, simulating real-world conditions all in an effort to make sure that signals beaming from services such as OnStar and XM-Sirius Satellite Radio don’t get lost.

Considering that Super Bowl XLV is in Arlington, Texas this year, it makes perfect sense for General Motors to provide 450 full-sized Chevy, GMC and Cadillac SUVs for the NFL to use as courtesy vehicles. And since the vehicles are also built in Arlington, GM’s Arlington Assembly will host tours to the public Monday through Thursday of this week. Go long for the presser.
Out of a fleeting whim, we decided to make an online journey to the United States Patent and Trademark office, and searched for the latest activity by General Motors, namely with the Chevrolet brand. Lo and behold, The General recently trademarked another name.
So, what vehicle could possibly carry the Chevrolet Strobe moniker? We’re not quite sure, but we kind of hope it will only be reserved for a concept… because honestly, who wants to drive something called a Strobe?

Okay, so what if it is Friday night? We’re onto something. If the title wasn’t enough to give you a clue, here’s our short but sweet bold-ass prediction of what we’re noticing that the rest of the automotive media seems to be missing: Continue reading.
After seeing patent renderings, spy photos, and even renderings of our own of the next generation Chevrolet Malibu, sources of Cheers and Gears are stating that The General’s next breadwinner will begin production January of 2012 — a year from now, and four months ahead of schedule (as the alleged original production schedule was slated for May 2012). Additionally, C&G speculates that its official unveiling will be during the 2011 New York Auto Show in late April. What else can we expect from the Malibu? Continue for more.
