When General Motors reinvented itself (on paper, anyway), the company's press release talked about selling GM vehicles on eBay. Unfortunately, that wasn't a done deal -- at least not from eBay's perspective. However, GM is still hot for the idea, and Chevrolet's Ed Peper has explored selling the Volt that way (likely to avoid tacking on high... Read More »

We've known for a while that the Chevrolet Aveo would be replaced by the 2011 Chevrolet Viva, which will be sold in Asia, Europe, and North and South America, courtesy of GM's new global product development process. Now the first official renderings have landed from GM, and if the production car looks anything like the sketches, the new subcompact... Read More »

  The car world loves a nickname: Volkswagen is "VW," Mercedes-Benz is simply "Benz," and BMWs are commonly called "Bimmers." If General Motors' new marketing braintrust has its way, though, you'll stop using the word "Chevy." The New York Times reports that Chevy marketing execs sent a memo to employees on Wednesday, asking them to stop using the... Read More »

For the third time in less than three decades, GM is renaming its mainstream small-car line. And while the Cruze might be assembled in the same place as its predecessor, the Cobalt—in Lordstown, Ohio—the new Cruze couldn't be more different than the Cobalt. Most notably, it's a world car.

General Motors has been very tight-lipped so far regarding details of the production-spec 2011 Chevrolet Spark minicompact. Now, it looks like GM's Service and Parts Operations folks, who release an annual VIN decoder guide—for use by insurers, law-enforcement agencies, DMVs, dealerships, and the like—have spilled the beans in some respects. A... Read More »

To say the new Malibu is an important car for Chevrolet is to engage in a daring bit of understatement. The mid-size sedan segment is a lynchpin to success in our market, and the Malibu will face stiff competition from the likes of Ford, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia. With a week until the full unveiling of the 2013 Malibu at the 2011 New York... Read More »
