Oh, God! Now GM has a plan to reopen its factories by taking certain measures to “protect” its workers from coronavirus. Nothing could go wrong with this, right? This grand plan will pit profits over people, but that’s not how GM sees it. The cash flow must continue. Unabated. Look, we know the coronavirus lockdowns …

No one ever thought an American car company could go bankrupt. That is until 2010 when both GM and Chrysler BK’d big. Now, the unheard-of is being levied a second time in ten years. Both GM and Ford only have about 15 weeks of liquidity if the coronavirus shutdown continues as it is. There are …

What were the chances this pile of scrap could have easily wound up at the recycler? Instead, someone was smart enough to figure that there are fans of the first modern EV. And just like collectors of vintage Apple computers, any ancient electronics have a big following. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that …

Mention the names Blazer, or K5, and people often have images of a rugged, off-roading, infinitely customizable, full-size SUV in their mind’s eye.

Then, in the following years, General Motors, Chevrolet’s parent company, decided to dilute the Blazer reputation by placing that nameplate …

General Motors and Honda might seem like an unlikely pairing, but partnerships between Japanese and American automakers are not uncommon.

GM is in the news as a result of the coronavirus and just like the virus none of it is good. Even the President of the United States is saying not-so-good things about GM in some of his infamous tweets. Here’s all of the bad stuff happening at GM right now: White-collar salaries are cut …

For almost 200 Holden dealerships in Australia, the news that GM was killing the brand was a shock. The seminal Australian company had existed in one form or another since 1856.

Everything we hear from Ford, GM, and Fiat Chrysler, has to do with EVs. But now it seems like the Detroit 3 were just kidding. Or something. Product plans reveal that for all of the hand wringing and electrification pronouncements, that through 2026 GM and Ford plan on cranking out big-gun trucks. And EVs? Not …

Unless you’re selling toilet paper or hand sanitizer you are looking at a scary future for retail. And that includes big-ticket items like cars and trucks.

Most vehicle manufacturing in the US has come to a halt. Either through concern over the exposure and spreading of the coronavirus or because parts supplies have dried up manufacturers stopped or will be tomorrow.

GM has a problem. It’s dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the whole EV thing and it can’t bank on any of it. Wall Street looks at them as rust belt tech while a company like Tesla is a “tech company.” GM can protest all it wants but at the end of the day, …
