	Know It All - Ed Cone, CIO Insight Magazine : NYT v GM
		NYT v GM Tom Friedman trashed GM in a recent column in the New York Times.
		GM tried to complain via a letter to the editor, but the Times, after much back-and-forthing about the letter's length and content, wouldn't let the company that got trashed call Friedman's column "rubbish."
		Here's how Brian Akre of GM's PR team handled it at a company blog: Now, you’d think it would be relatively easy to get a letter from a GM vice president published in the Times after GM’s reputation was so unfairly questioned.

		Although GM has not announced its plans for these engines yet, company sources attending the 2002 Society of Automotive Engineers' World Congress and Exhibition here said the new powerplants would be overhead-valve units representing the top end of the company's new line of High Value V-6 engines.
		GM's High Value V-6s have been under development for a couple of years and company officials have been considering a large-displacement model in the new engine line for a number of months (AMM, Nov. 27).
		However, GM's decision to build up to 1 million High Value V-6s a year does not bode well for suppliers of parts and materials for another line of six-cylinder engines--known as the High Feature V-6s--that the automaker is tooling up to produce in Ste.

		GM protestation that it is "working on" alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles and its correct statement that it already has some hybrid buses out there is quite irrelevant.
		Evidently GM's is meant to be a showcase for self-pity.

		He said GM's work in the early stages related mainly to "packaging the engine into the vehicle." Its responsibilities grew in the latter stages of the program and involved mainly calibration and fine-tuning.
		GM calls the Oldsmobile O4 a "dramatic reinterpretation of an Opel platform." Powering it is Opel's 1.8-L Ecotech, a turbocharged four-cylinder with 16 valves.

	Gas Guzzlers Beware
		It's good that GM's franchise pickups are retooled totally for '07, but an almost 15% drop in a traditionally steady segment shows “lifestyle” pickup buyers may not lap up fullsizers with the same fervor they showed for the past decade or more.
		GM's trusting they will but is verifying by backing the launch of the GMT900 pickups with an ad budget reputedly in shouting distance of a half-billion dollars.
		No GM car this year is as important as the Saturn Aura, the new midsizer trying to battle the Japanese-made stalwarts, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.

	2004 Cadillac CTS-V V8 - Road Test & First Drive - Motor Trend
		The V's acceleration, braking, and handling are indeed just a whisper shy of the super Vette's, based on our hot laps of Germany's infamously challenging 75-year-old Nuerburgring race course--but there's an iron-fist/velvet-glove component here, too.
		On the high-speed downhill sections and tight hairpins lined with battered guardrails, trees, and thrill-seeking German motorcyclists, the car's four-piston Brembo discs came to the rescue without hot fade or rotor shudder.
		Our initial impression, however, is that the V is on par with other big guns like the Mercedes-Benz E55 and BMW M5.
