As GM Authority covered previously, the GM Design team recently published a series of images showing off the Pontiac G8 show car, considered to be the brand’s final concept vehicle before GM axed it outright in 2009. Prior to the images recently going online, the G8 show car had never before been seen by the public. Interestingly, the G8 show car also included what appears to be a redesigned logo, leading us to ask – was GM working on a new Pontiac logo?

The 2024 Chevy Traverse got its big reveal last July, debuting an all-new third generation for the crossover. As expected, the 2024 Chevy Traverse introduces a long list of updates and changes over the preceding second-gen Traverse, including a new powerplant, specifically the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine. However, some might wonder why GM opted for the 2.5L LK0, rather than, say, a slightly larger 2.7L four-cylinder, such as the L3B. Now, GM Authority has an answer.

Introduced as a smaller, more efficient alternative to other sporty-themed General Motors products from the 1970s, the Chevy Vega quickly exploded in popularity before imploding following a string of recalls and quality issues. As such, the Vega nameplate has generally carried a negative connotation, and yet, someone decided to shove an LS3 powerplant under the hood of a limited-production 1975 Cosworth Vega. What’s more, it’s currently up for grabs online.

On one of my latest internet scourings, I stumbled upon a video talking about the Mya/June 2024 issue of Car and Driver magazine, and more specifically, the content on the back of the cover. It referenced the return of the Pontiac brand, which was actually, a joke, or more like a love letter to the now-defunct GM brand.

You'd likely also see that even major automakers occasionally went into production on a make that has concept car written all over it — and that may well have been the case for Chevrolet when it sent the SSR pickup truck to the assembly line.

Way back in December 2022, Chevrolet Performance launched a crate version of the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine found in the Silverado HD and Sierra HD pickup trucks.
