General Motors’ new midsize pickups, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, have been shipping to dealers for only two weeks, but on October 2 GM halted their sale because of a pending safety recall to fix an airbag defect.

Up and down the street revs a first generation Camaro, leaving a pile of smoke where its tires once stood. Like a cruise in reverse we can drive these stretches of road, keeping our eyes out for parked marvels – classic Mercurys, heavy engined muscle cars, the British sports cars you posted to your bedroom wall. It is an enormous, overwhelming, brightly lit, timeless and endless car party affair, and the whole town is invited

In an announcement from Detroit in September, General Motors said that it has created the position of first “chief product cybersecurity officer” in order to deal with the growing challenge of providing safe and secure computer and wireless technology in vehicles.

With the design influence of supercars, the company transparency of a Scandinavian government, and a powerhouse CEO whose full time job is running his personal space station, Tesla is unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Volkswagen says its numbers are up – but where, and by how much are they talking?

It may run a fantastic time, it may rip to shreds the quarter-mile of every GTR, Stingray and M3, it may hold the title of fastest car of the year, leave trails of eco-friendly tire behind, but, short of summoning Captain Planet himself, electric car racing will not be exciting to watch.
