It was something that had never been done before, and still really hasn't, because the CR-Z just isn't exceedingly sporty, or exceedingly economical. Nine seconds to 60 mph is a number that could be laughed at by many mid-size sedans. If a college kid is going to buy a sporty...

It was really only a matter of time until law enforcement agencies decided to try social media. That day has finally come. As we already know, and the police are quickly finding out, Twitter is one of the best tools on the web to send out a message, and possibly for it to go viral.

Survey: America Loves GM Again

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 07:10 AM PST

Say what you will about General Motors -- and you've probably said plenty the past two years -- but things may finally be looking up for America's largest automaker. A new survey from research firm YouGov indicates that there's light at the end of GM's tunnel, at least as far as the company's public image is concerned. YouGov has a pool of 1.5...

Inside, too, the design remains a little understated and...
