Koenigsegg – Saab

By admin | Published: June 16, 2009
Today, GM agreed to sell its SAAB division to Koenigsegg. It’s an interesting combination. Interesting in a good way. A car maker such as SAAB would feel more at home in the hands of the off-the-chart, extremist, purpose built, supercar specialist like Koenigsegg. The supercar maker could actually benefit from SAAB’s parts bin and SAAB’s [...]

What is GM up to today?

By admin | Published: June 10, 2009
GM recently ordered its surviving dealers to remove any non-GM products from their showrooms. GM demanded that GM dealers must be GM exclusive. Also, older dealers must renovate their showrooms in order to represent the proper GM image or risk being shut down by GM. What exactly is a proper GM image? The bloated, non-relevant, [...]

What a shame…

By admin | Published: June 8, 2009
General Motors Corp 6/01/2009. What a shame. The once greatest automotive icon in the world has become the ridicule of the trade and a beggar of mercy and pity. With something of this magnitude, everyone is to blame. Executives, management, engineers, designers, line workers, dealers, all the way down to factory floor sweepers. No single [...]

Should you buy a Pontiac?

By admin | Published: May 14, 2009
As soon as Pontiac made the list of GM’s brands soon to be canned, the obvious question was “Would you still buy a Pontiac if offered a steep discount?” Few popular car related websites ran a poll asking people this very question. A significant number of responses were “No, because parts supply will become scarce” [...]

Sounds like a joke.

By admin | Published: December 5, 2008
Gimme a break. It’s like a badly staged comedy. CEOs of big three driving to Washington to beg for money is a sarcastic act of humor. And their detailed plan for restructuring is just full of elementary crap that everyone already knows. Ford CEO Alan Mulally said that if they were granted the $9 billion [...]

Excuses

By admin | Published: November 18, 2008
The big three didn’t exactly build cars that people drooled over. They did not flourish even during steady economy. Bad economy is only a fraction of their problem and a timely excuse. They’ve been losing market share in this country for the last 25 years. Bad economy my ass. It’s bad products and bad management. In the [...]

Tahoe Hybrid

By | Published: June 16, 2008
If you’re someone who owns any of GMT900 clones – Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, or whatever GM calls them theses days – frugality probably isn’t one of your concerns. You own one of these behemoth knowing that it’s an excess and are proud of it. And you probably couldn’t care less about dollars per barrel any [...]

2008 Chevrolet Malibu

By admin | Published: December 23, 2007
First of all, I must say this is one handsome car. Not handsome for a Chevy but handsome period. All of the lines flow in harmony. It has pleasing proportions. I’m even starting to like the Chevy split-grille. And most amazingly, a decent interior. The days of Fisher-Price dashboards are finally over. GM is on [...]
