We lost some pretty cool car models when GM closed Pontiac back in 2009. The Holden Commodore-based G8 sedan was possibly the coolest, what with its rear-drive platform and available V8 power. While we did get a follow-up with the Chevrolet SS, which continued with the Commodore base, at least until Holden was shut down, too, it seems Pontiac had bigger ideas for the big sedan. GM Design once again has shone a light on a never-before-seen concept car from the automaker's archives. It's a Pontiac G8 concept from nearly the final days of the brand.

The 1969 Plymouth Road Runner A12 was the fastest muscle car of the 1960s, completing a quarter-mile in just 13.0 seconds. It featured a powerful 440 cubic inch (ci) V8 Six-Pack engine, a 4.10:1 rear axle, and a limited-slip differential for better performance. Another fast muscle car from the ’60s...

In recent years, three-row SUVs and crossovers have become more and more popular, prompting automakers to develop more and more examples of that type of vehicle. However, modern-day pickup trucks continue to be sold in the same old standard configuration, which typically consists of a pair of bucket seats (or a split bench) up front, with a three-person bench in the rear of models with bigger cabs. If a recently-filed patent from Ram comes to fruition, we may soon see a three-row pickup, however.

All three crossovers ride on the GM C1 platform, all three debut an all-new third generation for their respective nameplates, and all three cradle the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine. But the similarities don’t stop there – in fact, all three crossovers also share the same doors. Now, GM Authority is diving into the reasons why the 2024 GMC Acadia, 2024 Chevy Traverse, and 2025 Buick Enclave share doors.

Chevrolet is now committed to debuting the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on July 25, 2024. The wait has been brutal for the Corvette faithful as the ZR1 is the car that dreams are made of. The ZR1 signifies a pinnacle vehicle in the Chevrolet food chain, and it is expected that the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will blow the doors off its competitors, including the Corvette Z06. Chevrolet is still not confirming any details at this point. Chevrolet only confirmed the vehicle’s existence earlier this year, even though spies have seen it testing at Nürburgring in Germany for at least a year. Chevrolet has been teasing the date, but no photos of the supercar.
