The Chevy Volt is coming soon, but for the electric car to be a success its owners its owners will need convenient power access. Which is why 4400 lucky Volt owners will get free charging stations, installation (sometimes) included.
It makes it feel like you’re in the middle of Tron, but GM’s new heads-up display’s not just a way to play out childhood fantasies. The system projects laser-generated images onto windshields, providing a great looking enhanced vision display.

Now that we’re going to have a new president, it’s time for a new presidential limo–and GM is whipping up quite a doozy for the new Prez-elect. “Cadillac One” will be based off of the GMC Topkick, which you may remember as Ironhide from Transformers.
