The Abarth automatic is coming, so you could replace that 500c with it, order it with a Abarth decal delete, and glue on some Gucci emblems. Then, everybody wins!

Sterling should play the 'old man' card: "As an 80 year old man, I was raised in a different time. I was overly focused on what my older friends would think, as some of them have dated views of race. It was a terrible mistake to do so." Not that we would be dumb enough to believe him, but it might get him a pass

Man, that looks like fun. I can see why the daredevil shit pissed the FAA off, though

Drum drop from about 2 inches above the bed? Not impressed.

The engineers put on leave were DeGiorgio and Altman. They are actually management of the ignition switch and the small car platforms respectively. These are the two in charge of the decision making...say what you want about the culture at GM being to blame, accountability still has to exist. Besides, the upper

Since they liked backup cameras on cars so much, maybe the NHTSA should require a series of cameras on semi-trucks, which are then fed via satellite to a team assisting the driver:

Agreed on that report - but they had no idea what the consequences of failure would be. Did an engineer make a report during the development specifically saying that the low effort switch could cause a chain reaction leading to fatalities? I don't believe so. Ignorance is no excuse, just an explanation. There is

I don't believe any cost-benefit analysis was done weighing accidents and/or lives on the ignition switch. GM engineers were just inept enough to not understand the implications of the flawed switch, part of the automotive manufacturing culture of the day...which still exists. I wonder just how many "higher death

Never thought I would see facial hair shaped worse than Michael Jordan's Hitler mustache, yet here it is

Sure, make fun of the Smart Fortwo being required to have a backup camera... but look what happened when this one accidentally backed over a large squirrel:

Bad, bad MS Paint work by me, so its just a concept off one of Raphael's photos. I'd have painted a curb in the background or something if I was capable. I think the Baja Buggy has become too iconic to not be on the next shirt, whether it's this concept or not.

Not only should they be distinguishable by part number, but in this case, they should also be distinguishable in appearance while installed in the car. I hope the new ones they are making now can be identified this easily. (I am assuming those parts will have a new part number, since the cat is out of the bag?) As

"That is what happened, yes," Gary Altman, program engineering manager for the 2005 Cobalt, said when asked in a June 2013 deposition whether GM made "a business decision not to fix this problem" before the Cobalt was launched in 2004.

Never mind, Stig-a-saw-us-wrecks posted it already...with the same stock photo!

I can't get all of the replies to load, so I don't know if it was suggested, but the Chevy Volt. It basically became a political tool, and in a sense a red herring, as it turns out the Cobalt "fiery deaths" perhaps should have been the argument against saving General Motors - EDIT: Already posted by Stig-A-Saw-Us-Rex

In her short tenure, Ms. Barra has emerged as the face of G.M., in an unexpected way — apologizing for the company's failings in a video to employees, naming a new top executive to oversee safety issues, and participating in Tuesday's session with reporters to take responsibility for the company's inexplicable delay
