DETROIT - Who's the best swimmer on the Titanic? Turns out to be General Motors, which held on to first place in U.S. sales last month (Toyota slid past it in total global sales last year) with just an 18.5-percent drop in sales over June 2007. It sold 72,000 more units than Toyota, which suffered a 21.1-percent drop from a year ago. Both these numbers are based on actual declines; the percentage drop isn't as bad when you account for the fact that June 2008 had 24 selling days, compared with 27 selling days in June 2007. Still, everybody's results were dismal.
GM says it upped market share to 21-percent retail, 22-percent overall. ...

Why the 2009 Camaro is Doomed By Eric Peters, Automotive Columnist
Motorheads don’t want to hear it; refuse to believe it — but ugly realities are coming down hard on the ‘09 Camaro that will very possibly cause GM to pull the plug before the first one ever rolls off the line.
Doubt that? Consider the stillborn rear-wheel-drive next generation Chevy Impala — nixed because of concerns within GM about the possibility of meeting the pending (2012) 35 mpg fuel e ...
Slated to bow in the first quarter of 2009 as an early 2010 model, it's expected that the Camaro will be offered in three trim levels — LS, LT and SS. The base LS may be powered by Chevy's 3.5-liter pushrod V-6 making about 220 bhp. The LT models would use the overhead-cam direct-injected 3.6-liter V-6 developing upward of 300 bhp, while the SS will be powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 (similar to that found in the Corvette) tuned to produce around 400–405 bhp. A year after launch, Chevy will introduce a convertible version and after that a high-performance Z28 model with a super-charged 6.2-liter sibling to the Corvette ZR1's LS9 motor known as the LSA. That engine would make somewhere in the neighbo ...
