Report: Saab To Build Competitor To Mini, Audi A1
According to Autocar, Saab is planning on making a competitor to the Audi A1 and Mini Cooper. Referred to by the code name “92,” the minicar is still a few years away from reality.
Chicago 2010: Chevrolet Suburban Celebrates Its 75th Birthday With Anniversary Diamond Edition
The Chevrolet Suburban hasn’t garnered a lot of media attention in recent years, but we’ be lying if we said we didn’t still think very highly of the biggest and baddest General Motors SUV.
Spy Shots: If The Saturn Vue Lived On…
The Chevrolet Captiva (or Opel or Vauxhall Antara, or Daewoo Winstorm, depending on where you drive) is getting a bit of a facelift. Some of you may probably recognize it as the now-defunct Saturn Vue.
Let’s Hope It Sticks This Time: GM To Sell Saab To Spyker
General Motors has announced that it and Spyker Cars “have reached a binding agreement on the purchase of Saab.”
Detroit 2010: Cadillac Unveils XTS Platinum Concept
The aging Cadillac STS and DTS are long overdue for a replacement. Today, we get the first glimpse of what’s to come by way of the XTS Platinum concept, an all-new flagship model for Cadillac that builds on General Motors’ strong plan to include direct injection and hybrid technology in its lineup moving forward.
Detroit 2010: Buick Regal GS Struts Its Stuff At Cobo Hall
If there’s one car that really speaks to our enthusiast hearts at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, it’s the Buick Regal GS. And while General Motors is technically calling this a show car, we’re pretty much going to assume that it’ll be hitting dealerships within the next year.
Detroit 2010: GMC Granite Concept Is An Urban Cruiser Bred In The U.S.
Based on the Chevrolet Orlando platform, the Granite features rear-hinged rear doors with no B-pillar, making it extremely easy to load people and things inside of the useful little vehicle. The overall interior design is very open and airy, but is still very functional. This meshes well with the angular, edgy exterior lines, finished off nicely with LED lighting and twenty-inch wheels.
Detroit Preview: Chevrolet Aveo RS Is A Surprisingly Hot Little Number
We have a confession to make: In its current form, the Chevrolet Aveo has been the butt of many a joke within the automotive industry. It isn’t nearly as good as anything else in the class, and in a time when more focus is being put on B- and C-segment cars, General Motors really disappointed with its smallest offering. But a new version is on the horizon. And judging by the preliminary information about the Aveo RS show car (which will appear next week at the Detroit Auto Show), drastic changes are in the works.
Detroit Preview: Buick Unveils 255-HP, Turbocharged, All-Wheel-Drive Regal GS
The fact that General Motors is finally bringing over the new Opel Insignia (Buick Regal) to the States makes us very happy campers. And now, knowing that a Regal GS is in the works, our interest is more piqued than ever. But hold on just a minute — while the GS might look like an all-American version of the Insignia OPC, it’s been diffused just slightly for Yankee consumption.
Noble Previews New Supercar Featuring 638-HP Corvette ZR1 Engine
The Noble M12 is, in a word, superb, but we haven’t seen the last of Lee Noble’s supercar creations. These new teaser images are the first renderings of an all-new supercar, set to start development next month in South Africa.
Ask It: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS On Winter Tires
When you think of snowy, slushy, wintry driving, a Chevrolet Camaro isn’t necessarily the first vehicle that comes to mind. Naturally, when General Motors offered us the opportunity to test a Camaro SS outfitted with Pierlli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires in the middle of January, we accepted the challenge.
First Look: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Is What We’ve Been Waiting For
While the tagline of “The Caddy That Zigs” may not have worked too well for the all-but-forgotten Catera sedan from the late 1990s, we think it will be a very appropriate description for this hot little number. Cadillac just recently unveiled the new CTS Coupe bodystyle, and only one month after the two-door’s official debut, we now have a much-anticipated V-badged variant, set to go on sale in the summer of 2010.
GM Recalling Over 20,000 C6 Corvettes Due To Roof Adhesive Issue
General Motors is recalling approximately 20,090 Corvettes made in the 2005-06 model years due to a problem with the roof panel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the adhesive between the roof panel and the frame may separate, allowing for general rattles, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, or even worse, complete detachment. Frightening stuff.
Report: Saab 9-5 Could Live On As A Buick
With the death of Saab still fresh on our minds, a new report states that General Motors might make use of the newly finished 2010 9-5 sedan by rebadging it as a Buick, to better expand that marque’s lineup.
Saab Put On Life Support, For Now
Last week, we reported that General Motors announced it would kill the Saab brand after a failed deal to sell it to Spyker Cars. Not so fast.
Cadillac Bringing All-New Concept, Production CTS-V Coupe To Detroit Auto Show
Cadillac’s Art & Science design language will be heightened at this January’s Detroit Auto Show. GM’s non-Buick luxury division will be previewing an entirely new concept car, and we’re told it’s nothing we’ve seen before, so go ahead and rule out any possibility of a production ATS sedan to rival the C-Class and 3-Series.
Who Will Adopt Saab’s Orphans?
Saab is done for. So it goes. But, what of the brand loyalists? What will they do when they’re done swallowing sadness and it’s time to buy a new car? Who will offer a new home to the Saab orphans?
Here are the top ten brands.
It’s Official: Goodbye, Saab.
General Motors has announced that, after a deal to sell the brand to Spyker Cars, Saab will be “wound down.”
Report: All-New Chevrolet Aveo To Debut At Detroit Auto Show
General Motors held a small event last night in Detroit (we weren’t in attendance) where new products were shown and detailed, and while no official information or product specifications have broke from that event, information has leaked out suggesting that we’ll see the next-generation Chevrolet Aveo in January at the North American International Auto Show. Additionally, Chevrolet re-confirmed that the global Spark minicar will be coming to America, slotted underneath the Aveo in the automaker’s product line.
Video: The Chevy Volt Dance
For those of you lucky enough to hear the original Chevy Volt song (‘E’ for electricity, ‘V’ for Chevy Volt and me…) at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, you can rest easy knowing that GM has hired a dance crew and commissioned a full-on show routine. Good to know all the penny-pinching over at GM is going to good use.
Keepers: Saab 900 Turbo
Winding Road staffers are nothing if not hopelessly in love with quirky cars, probably because we’re quirky people. It should come as no surprise, then, that we pay homage to the King of Quirk, the Idol of Idiosyncrasy, the Pinnacle of Peculiarity, the … okay, you get the point. Straight from the land of Ikea, Dancing Queen, and the too-cool ice hotel (pun intended) comes the Saab 900 Turbo.
