Cchevy Cruze with Its Engine
The bad news just keeps coming down the pipe for General Motors and Flint, Michigan. It has been reported that construction contracts for the new $370 million engine plant that was going up in Flint have been canceled. In fact, GM actually stopped work on the project in early December. The plant was to produce the new 1.4-liter 4 cylinder engine for the 2011 Chevy Cruze and Volt. GM spokeswoman Sharon Basel has said to reporters that they always had the intention for the engines of the early production runs of the Cruze and Volt to be supplied from a European facility that already builds variants of GM’s so-called “Family 0″ powertrains. The Flint plant would not have been ready for start of production of Cruze next spring.

Cranky Brit auto-journalist extraordinaire Jeremy Clarkson has, shockingly, named the 2009 Corvette ZR1 the best car of this past year. Of course, he also selected an American car as one of the worst.
When Jeremy Clarkson first reviewed the ZR1 he claimed love for the American-made supercar despite the propensity for it to disintegrate. In his year-end retrospective for the Sunday Times he essentially repeats this claim but says, despite this, it was the best car of the year.
And then out of nowhere came the ZR1, which has a supercharged V8 that manages to be both docile and extraordinarily savage all at the same time. I’ve been trying to think of a dog that pulls off a similar trick, but there isn’t one. And anyway, this car is not a dog.

Those wacky guys at MotorTrend get all the fun. When they were given the keys of the new awe-inspiring Corvette ZR1, they decided to pit it against the mighty Ferrari 599 GTB, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 GT2. Luckily for us, they threw us a bone by recording the supercar showdown for the world to see. Hit the jump to see the 638-hp Corvette ZR1 take on some of the best and brightest from Italy, Germany, and Japan. We watched the video 4 different times, just to see the differences in the starts and finishes of 4 very different supercars. Read the rest of this entry »

Sure, We’ve all seen the Camaro SS in unofficial photos, many, many times. But you probably haven’t seen the official photos of a 2010 Camaro SS in front of a dark background. Or maybe you have. Either way, GM has officially posted another set of photos of the Chevrolet Camaro SS, which looks remarkably like the other 2010 Camaros we’ve seen.
