Chevrolet Corvette adds winning AutoPacific's 2012 Ideal Vehicle Award to its earlier win of AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction Award. Winning both awards is an impressive accomplishment.

Over the years, General Motors has often tried to be a trailblazer (no pun intended) in new vehicle design and development. Many of these vehicles failed, but we believe GM deserves a tremendous amount of credit for trying where other companies did not have the creative thought or resources to make a "segment breaking" product.

Without question, one of the most buzzworthy topics surrounding automobiles this year has been plug-in cars. AutoPacific recently got to test three of them.

As I drove the new Sonic, Chevrolet's replacement for the unloved Aveo, I realized something. There really are no bad small cars in the marketplace anymore.

The 2011 Cadillac Escalade not only won its segment for the Vehicle Satisfaction Award and the Ideal Vehicle Award, but in fact was the top scoring vehicle period for both awards! So what's its secret?

At first glance, I'm one of those people whose lifestyle is what automotive marketers would deem perfect for a crossover SUV. I love outdoors activities and often carry a surfboard in my vehicle. And I have a baby. Thing is, I also want my vehicle to handle. I love attacking apexes. I like sitting low inside a vehicle and feeling connected to the road. In other words, I love to drive. That's why I'm a wagon kind of a guy. And the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is just about the ultimate wagon.

With the latest SRX, the model has been recast to compete against the new crop of smaller luxury crossovers. In this role, the new two-row SRX really holds its own and truly excels in many areas.

The Chevrolet Cruze represents a huge shift in the way that General Motors views compact cars.

The Camaro V6 is surprisingly refined and a great cruiser. No shame in choosing the V6...not when it has 304HP!

We recently had the opportunity to drive the new 2011 Silverado HD and Sierra HD pickups. They may not look very different, but with an all-new frame and chassis and an improved powertrain these vehicles should be considered all-new.
New and improved is the theme, at least in every aspect except exterior and interior appearance.
