Chevrolet Camaro convertible on hold
We weren’t surprised when Chrysler decided to nix plans for a Dodge Challenger convertible. The LX-based coupe wasn’t developed with a drop-top variant in mind and it would’ve taken far too much cash to shore up the chassis with the roof removed. And if you hadn’t heard, Chrysler isn’t doing too well in the cash [...]

SEMA 2008: STS Twin Turbo C6 Corvette a matte monster
The Squires Turbo Systems twin-turbo C6 Z06 gives the former most-powerful Vette model a boost to 700 horsepower at a very reasonable 7 pounds of boost, which, depending on how sorted the Bilstein-shocked suspension is, could give it a good shot at sticking with a stock ZR-1. The most unique thing about this car is [...]

SEMA 2008: Corvette C6R replica returns with 2008 livery
At SEMA last year we spotted a very real looking Corvette C6R replica whose owner had made lots of effort to duplicate the race car down to the last sticker. Since that time he has updated the car to reflect the 2008 paint scheme along with the new black wheels. The Corvette now looks even [...]

Chevrolet Cruze could spawn hatch and wagon variants
The Chevrolet Cruze may be delayed, but that doesn’t mean that more variants of the Cobalt/Lacetti replacement aren’t on the drawing board. In addition to the standard four-door model that Chevrolet debuted in Paris, a five-door hatch and a wagon will fill the rest of the range.

GM may delay Cruze and Malibu
As General Motors burns through $1 billion in cash each month, the automaker’s belt-tightening continues unabated, spanning the spectrum from lay-offs to shutting down the escalators at the RenCen. Naturally, its products aren’t immune from the cash-strapped hatchet.
First came word that the CTS Coupe and Buick Lacrosse debuts have been delayed, and now BusinessWeek reports [...]

One of the stars of this year’s SEMA show is the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and General Motors has every intention of creating even more buzz (really, more?) with a handful of customized pony cars.

GM reported to have chosen Compact Power as Volt battery supplier
Ever since that cold day in January when the Chevrolet Volt concept rolled onto the stage at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, the single biggest question has been the battery.

Corvette C7 put on indefinite hold
According to multiple unnamed sources speaking with Autoweek, General Motors has put its plans for a C7 Corvette on “indefinite hold, with no official or set timetable.” That’s a pretty broad admission, but not entirely surprising considering the financial issues plaguing GM, the rest of the domestics and the world as a whole.

Chevy Cruze could be priced higher than rivals
Remember when we told you that GM plans to make more money off of its small cars by upping its prices? Well, as far as the Cruze is concerned, not only do they plan to charging substantially more than the outgoing Cobalt, they might demand more cash than a comparably equipped Corolla, Civic, or Focus.
