Rumors of a meeting between GM CEO Rick Wagoner and top officials from Toyota in Japan has been denied. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering that it’s GM’s policy not to comment on such matters, but Toyota has no such policy and has also denied that […]

We’re already gotten a taste of Ford’s Hi-Pa Drive F-150, but there are three more tweaked trucks coming to SEMA, each with their own unique take on pickup customization.

It seems that the world is determined to make Pontiac two-seaters suffer the terrible fate of poor transmogrification into half-baked exotic replicas. Fieros are the common victim, but this yellow spud is the result of some Idahoans attacking a Solstice. With […]
