New Saab 9-5 sketch is less quirky, more badass

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
A Saab owner attending the 2008 Saab Owner's Convention posted a recap of the events at Trollhattan Saab (which we thought was defunct, but if not, we're glad it's back). One of the most noteworthy events was something on which he barely commented: a sketch of the new 9-5. Saab has been threatening ......

Wow, there are some great deals to be had at the moment from General Motors.

Now that GM is offering all of its models at employee prices, that ......

Spy Shots: 2010 Buick LaCrosse caught completely uncovered

Friday, August 8th, 2008
Though the newish Buick Enclave has received plenty of accolades, it's the right vehicle at the wrong time for GM's smallest brand. The other two vehicles in Buick's lineup – the LaCrosse mid-size sedan and Lucerne large sedan – might better appeal to gas-conscious buyers than a large CUV, but t......

Saturn drops Green Line name from hybrids

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008
The Saturn Green Line is no longer. In its stead, the planetary brand's hybrid models will simply be known as hybrids. We think this is a good idea considering that the word 'hybrid' is much more readily associated with saving gas than the Green Line moniker. According to Mike Morrissey, a Saturn sp......

Doh! Battery leakage hurts GM hybrid production

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
As much as General Motors would like to sell more hybrids, we'd imagine it would be pretty tough to do so without having the batteries on hand. It turns out that since December of last year, GM has had to recall some nine-thousand battery packs produced by its supplier, Cobasys, which were due for i......
