The beginning of the end of General Motors has been pinned on many things. Badge engineering; the use of a single car trimmed in various ways to fool the public into thinking they’re different was GM’s Achilles heel. In a zeal to glomb as much from a single platform as possible, it took everything it …

Pundits sometimes try to pin down exactly when GM began its downhill slide into sub-mediocracy. Really, it was cumulative, one mistake stacked on another.

Quick, name the two things Chevy needs to fix on its Silverado pickups? It’s an easy question; the blandtastic interiors and that ridiculous fascia.

Why, oh why must GM adopt something so stupid as this “emerging design trend?” That’s what it is being called and it appears on both Buick’s 2020 Encore GX and 2021 Envision. Some pundits say it is sure to be adopted by even more GM models in the near future. These two new Buicks feature …
