It’s been a good week for long-roof fans so far. Things kicked off with GM-honcho Fritz Henderson hinting we may eventually see a V version of the CTS Sport Wagon headed our way by the end of next year. We all know that means the supercharged LSA from the current CTS V, complete with its [...]

Wait. Didn’t we just drive this thing? No, Fiends. That would be the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid 2WD, which we all know has completely different badges is a completely different vehicle. All kidding aside, I’ve always been a bit perplexed by GMC. To me, the company’s offerings have always seemed like slightly restyled trim levels of [...]

Here’s just another reason to love the Fiends at Hennessey. When Cadillac rolled out its newest generation CTS-V more than a few of us wondered just what it would take to get the heady, supercharged LSA under the supersaloon’s hood up to the kind of digits GM boasts in the ZR1. Evidently, a new blower [...]

Word that GM plans to kill Pontiac hit some people harder than others, and the Fiends at Holden are no exception. The company was making serious bank under its contract to supply GM with Commodores to be rebadged as Pontiac G8’s. Now that Poncho is headed to the scrap heap, word on the Web is [...]

It’s funny the sort of reactions this thing elicits. Some cars draw admiring stares from everyone – Fiends, kids, women – while others glide on by without evoking so much as a raised eyebrow from anyone in the crowd. The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid doesn’t seem to have those problems. Instead, being seen anywhere near [...]

Alternately titled: Car of the Week. That’s right, Fiends, the Car of the Week is back! A week ago, I would have been right with you if you’re thinking there’s little Fiendish about a honkin’ hybrid SUV, but our time with this high-tech Caddy has done some eye-opening. We’re half-way through our stint with the [...]

Here’s some good news: GM says the Cadillac Converj Concept is go for production if and when the company’s financial outlook improves. The car is the super-sexy two-door GM rolled out during the Detroit Auto Show this year and sports the same drive line as the much ballyhooed Chevrolet Volt. That means it’s a plug-in [...]

I. Mr. Norm’s originally came out of Grand Spaulding Dodge in the late ’60s with a whole series of whoop-ass Mopars. Well, the guys at Mr. Norm’s are up to their old tricks once again, this time with a re-birth of the original Lil Red Express. The new truck is based on the short wheelbase [...]

It’s no secret I’ve got a barge-sized soft spot for anything with a Lincoln badge, so why not spread the joy of genuine American luxury? Lincoln’s weren’t always rebadged Ford Crown Vics. Oh no. Once upon a long, long time ago, the company was its own entity braving untested aesthetic waters and rolling out potent [...]
