We were so early with the first images of the 2014 Corvette that some refer to the design of the next generation C7 sports car as the "Jalopnik Corvette." Of course, GM designers deserve all the praise (or criticism).

Jalopnik is also not responsible for the rendered 3D video of the C7 Corvette from Trinity Animation, but when they said they were turning our drawings into a trailer who were we to complain?

Using our experience with the car we gave the team of animators our impressions and the result is this Forza-esque video of the new Corvette in action.

Cadillac has made no secret of its impending product resurgence. After the brand's first renaissance in the early 2000's, Cadillac is attempting to have a second one with this year's launch of the new XTS and ATS sedans. While those sedans commence Cadillac's second wind, the real surge in new product will be in 2013.

Over the decades Cadillac has devolved into a brand who’s popularity is highest among those in retirement communities.

Excerpts...........

Following official confirmation back in May that an updated version of the Australian designed and built Holden Commodore will be heading to U.S. shores, this time wearing a Chevrolet bowtie, a prototype for the new car has now been spotted testing near GM’s headquarters in Detroit.

*HSV is refusing to even confirm the existence of the all-new VF-Commodore based range that is due in dealerships next year.*

While Holden has confirmed the imminent arrival and model code of the heavily revised Commodore that will also be exported to the United States as a Chevrolet, HSV’s executives won’t even acknowledge there’s a fresh model in the pipeline.

“No comment,” is the most the company will say publically about the crucial new model that is expected to bring a new generation engine with significantly more power than the current 6.

Today Buick announced that the upcoming 2013 Buick Verano Turbo will have a starting price of $29,990, including destination charges. The Verano Turbo is the latest addition to the expanding Buick portfolio, bringing yet another surprising manual transmission option to the brand, and at a no-cost option to boot.
