Chevy Says April 1st is the #BestDayEver. Okay. Sure.
April 1st is, apparently, the best day ever! Is that because it’s April Fools’ Day? No. Is it because it is the beginning of a month that is purportedly full of showers that, by extension, bring May flowers? Also no. The reason that April 1st is the best day ever, you see, is because there […]

Buick Enclave Tuscan Edition Appears to Be A Thing Maybe
If there’s anything that we can tell you with the utmost confidence, it’s that an automaker filing for a trademark doesn’t always mean something will come of it. For reference, see every time people got excited (and ultimately disappointed) by trademarks filed for Supra or Bronco. Generally speaking, however, GM’s trademarks pay off in some […]

GM Files Trademark for “Badlands” Truck
Ford has been all about performance in 2015, and don’t think that General Motors has not taken notice.

General Motors’ US sales were up 4% in February, with sales totaling 231,378 deliveries.

First Wrecked Challenger SRT Hellcat Goes to Auction
Remember back in December, when some fool with $60K+ in his pocket decided to buy a brand spankin’ new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that was much too powerful for him to handle?

GM kicked off 2015 […]
