Detroit Automakers Try Some New Tricks
This is reality and nothing good comes out of ignoring reality. To change things GM and the other two have to do something really radical. Get a great technology or feature to market first- let it be a super efficient diesel or HCCI. Make something that the customers can not buy from anybody else. I think the Volt is going to be the car that does that. But all in all I do not think that the Big Three take enough smart risks. Every new generation of the camcord is a refinement of the previous gen. There is noting radically new there, and why should there be, they are selling well. To change things you need something that breaks the mold. Think Citroen DS or maybe the original Taurus. Make something like that and they will come.

The best-looking Cadillac? The not so good-looking Cadillac?
Does the sixteen count (the new one). Best looking car ever IMO. Even though they built only one.

Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead
I hear that GM has a prototype HCCI engine that they will show at an autoshow in 08.

DESIGN: Buick Riviera Concept
The grille on the finished concept is too high. Lower it and it would be OK. They put a front plate on the concept to disguise the fact. When have you ever seen a front plate on a concept car? It's a problem with the design, fix it and the next gen EP2 Buick should sell.

GM Adept at Fixing Pension Fund Problems
Hopefully not ALL. I don't want their pension funds to make losses.

SHOULD GM (and Ford) MOVE OUT OF MICHIGAN
2020 AD. GM headquarters Shanghai. Halliburton's moving. How long do you think before other's do. If assembly line jobs go to low cost countries how long do you think it is before CEO, CFO, COO jobs do.

GM Adept at Fixing Pension Fund Problems
Dont get me wrong, I love GM. But if they made cars as well as they managed portfolios they would not be in trouble. As things stand they should quit making cars and become investment bankers. Support the division that's making profits (investment banking) rather than the one making losses (manufacturing cars).

Holden has high hopes for Epica
From what I see this is the same size as the 08 Malibu and this will be sold in Europe as a Chevy. Why did GM waste their money on developing two cars instead of a global Malibu.

GM May Gain Proton Power
Proton owns Lotus. I hope GM has the cash to do this. Could end up as big as GMDAT someday.

Here's your '08 CTS sneak peek pic
Wow! Thanks. This car is awesome. I wonder if they are going to price it against the 3 series or the 5 series.

Chevy Tahoe online marketing
It looks like Chevy tried something risky and innovative and it worked. Good article from wired. http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.12/tahoe.html
