Let’s say that Congress refuses to give some of that bailout money to Detroit—does that effectively kill off electric cars like the Chevy Volt? That depends on who you’re talking to. It’s like this (yes, that phrase is a new crutch of mine): The big three auto makers are screwed. People have no money, nor can they borrow, to buy cars, and Detroit hasn’t been a decent car, much to the delight of the Japanese, ...

The answer, as you can see in the video below the jump, is yes. It's simply astonishing to watch a 436 HP, 424 lb-ft of torque metal monster rip up some meat. We all ...

As much as we may be inclined to mock the Thunderstorm, which combines the nose and a powertrain of a Geo Storm with the rear end of a Subaru Brat and was constructed with an impressive level of parts-bin rummaging, we're in awe of how cool it actually is. The Thunderstorm is up for sale due to the "RECENT PASTING" of the seller's deceased "BELOVED HUSBAND" and has the lineage to prove it. Designed by ...

Filed under: Chevrolet, GMYou can never be certain about the information you get from fourth-hand, unconfirmed sources.

Rick Wagoner will also be announcing more cuts that will likely include layoffs among engineering staff. GM is expected to cancel or delay almost all future product plans in an attempt to staunch its current cash burn rate. One ...

Becoming an easy to identify piece of the Fairfax-based brand The Hundreds, the “Adam Bomb” is soon to be immortalized in toy form with an upcoming release with Japanese toy-makers Medicom Toys. Packaged in a well-suited toy crate, Adam Bomb itself features the trademark surprised expression with a lit fuse. The lit fuse itself is translucent orange with hints of red at the tips of the spark. No word yet on a release date but ...
