    Official: Chevrolet Trax crossover headed to Paris, but not North America?     1337023800

    If you're wondering why the name Trax sounds familiar, it's because we've heard it before. That's right, General Motors' chunky little crossover concept has blossomed into the production CUV you see here, and might we say, it's quite a handsome little thing. Details about the new Chevy Trax are scarce, but since it looks to be based on the same ...

    Study: "Camaros eat Mustangs:" The origins of car names     1336584600

    As a car manufacturer, you have spent literally thousands of person-hours engineering a vehicle that is not quite entirely dreamy nor utterly practical, but some magical balance of the two that should sell by the trainload. Small problem: the folks in marketing have decided to name the car the "Acquiesce," so chosen for its inability to offend anybody and ...

    Report: GM's next-gen pickup plans force dealers into one of two camps     1336478400

    Most General Motors dealers make their living off selling pickup trucks. (That's why when it came time to trim the brands and reorganize under bankruptcy, GMC survived and Pontiac didn't – because Buick dealers needed to have a truck to sell, not a full-size muscle sedan from Australia.) That makes this year a tricky one for dealers, according to ...

    Video: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 runs quarter mile in 11.93 seconds     1336158900

    We've taken the bone-stock 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 down the quarter-mile drag strip at Bondurant in Arizona several times. The very first pass we made netted us a time slip in the mid-12-second range. That's an impressive performance for a car wearing road-legal radial tires with zero preparation and a driver familiarizing himself with the car. We ...
