| GM ‘Very Confident’ 2016 Camaro is Better Than Mustang Posted: The VP of Global Product Development for General Motors is making bold claims about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. In a recent interview with Fox News, Mark Reuss said he's "very confident" that the new Camaro will be more efficient, faster and better handling than the new 2015 Ford Mustang. Naturally it's hard to believe that Reuss would say anything else about the sports car, especially since the Camaro and Mustang have been fighting it out for decades. But he did add that he personally drove them back to back recently and is likely one of very few people that have.

| FIA WEC Getting Rid of Grid Girls Posted: Don't expect to see umbrella girls at World Endurance Championship races in the near future. The racing series, which includes the famous Le Mans 24 Hours, is getting rid of grid girls starting with the upcoming Silverstone race next week. WEC chief executive Gerard Neveu spoke about the change after a presentation on the Silverstone race saying, "For me that is the past. The condition of women is a little different now." SEE ALSO: Nissan Reveals Innovative 24 Hours of Le Mans Race Car The change is a move towards seeking more equality and less sexism in a male-dominated sport, but it's probably worth noting that in same race series, female racers have umbrella men. Expect to see the race cars line up diagonally opposite the pit wall and grandstand when the WEC kicks off at Silverstone on April 12. [Source: Reuters] Loading, please wait... |
| We Talk Sports Cars With Cadillac Boss Johan de Nysschen Posted: Does Cadillac need a flagship sports car? That's the question we put to the new head of the America luxury automaker Johan de Nysschen and his answer was surprising. Sitting comfortably in a quiet meeting room behind the brand's display at the New York Auto Show he responded with a simple word: "Ultimately." Not "yes" or "no" but a more intriguing though admittedly less committal: "Ultimately." "That would be my last product," de Nysschen added, indicating that the current focus for the brand is elsewhere. In fact, de Nysschen's roadmap for the brand includes a push to deliver eight all-new products by 2020. The first, revealed in New York, is a the new CT6 flagship sedan, which will be followed by three new crossovers, a new compact sedan below the ATS, as well as three yet-unknown models.

When at the helm of Audi, de Nysschen oversaw the launch of the R8, which helped transform Audi from an aspiring rival to its German competitors to a truly world-class brand. Could Cadillac's sports car be similar? "I hope it would be something entirely different," said de Nysschen. "Cadillac will be successful because we are an iconic American luxury brand. We've been entrusted with custodianship of a brand with an incredible heritage. In order to be true to that heritage we have to innovate and chart our own course. We will not be successful by emulating others."
One thing is certain, it won't simply be a large luxury coupe, as previewed in the Elmiraj concept from 2013. "We will not produce Elmiraj," he said. "I think its done a fantastic job of igniting people's imagination around Cadillac and many of the design cues are finding their way into he latest expression of art and science design."
