Yesterday, everyone was talking about the company's nearly inevitable "surgical bankruptcy". Today, everyone's talking about a mechanical problem that could start engine fires in about 1.5 million GM sedans. At fault is a leak that could allow oil to drip onto the exhaust manifold during braking. If that ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1014393_the-gm-t360-jinx http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1014393_the-gm-t360-jinx Wed, 08 Jun 2005 02:01:56 -0400 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1014391_general-motors-cutting-25000-jobs-factory-closures-likely-to-follow http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1014391_general-motors-cutting-25000-jobs-factory-closures-likely-to-follow Tue, 07 Jun 2005 19:35:56 -0400 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/oldsmobile_silhouette_2001 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/oldsmobile_silhouette_2001 Mon, 16 Apr 2001 03:00:00 -0400 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- It's a night made for a James Bond Adventure. Above, a clear sky twinkles like a big-screen planetarium and out the window a full moon illuminates the crest of Mt. Greylock, the state's highest peak. With a touch of a remote control, Diamonds Are Forever begins to play on a monitor overhead. My companion and I ...

I'd just spent three days in Baja California driving pre-production models of the new 2002 Olds Bravada midsize SUV. That is, I drove them (on-road and off) during the day, got pie-eyed on tequila at night, and in between, was lectured on everything from what women want -- the Bravada has ...

On the one hand, they no longer seem to care about making affordable, safe, and practical commuter cars for under, say, $10,000. Lately, that seems to be the Koreans' responsibility. At the other end of the spectrum, they've already pushed ...

They started the decade with the best-selling car on the continent -- the Cutlass Supreme. By the early Nineties, the very future of the division was in doubt. It's not a stretch to say that the Aurora, introduced in 1994, saved the division. That first ...

In the past five years, Oldsmobile has redefined their brand from dowdy to just a little ...

Tap its throttle and you'll ...

Through these cliff-bound esses, the tester maintains a flat and ...
