Dropping any artifice of civility in the back-and-forth sniping between Chevy and Ford, this year's Silverado ad comes out and says what they've only been wiling to say behind closed doors: buy our competitors vehicle and you will die. You will be dead. Six-feet under. And your family. You will all die a horrible terrible death. More »

After GM Vice-Chairman Tom Stephens challenged Ford to a heavy-duty pickup tug-of-war, there was radio silence from Dearborn. Apparently the blue-oval isn't interested in having any fun, so they twittered a reply basically saying "truck off." [PickupTrucks.com] More »

When the chief (at the time, chief-in-training) took a close up look at the then-new 2007 Chevy Silverado, the major improvements made in the areas of ride-and-handling, body control and interior design were fairly evident. We got to wondering, given the Silverado is now competing against the new Tundra and two new domestic competitors in the form of the 2009 Dodge Ram and 2009 Ford F-150, does the truck which debuted in 2006 still stack up? Well, a new engine and a six-speed transmission mean the 2009 Silverado comes to the table with a whole new set of bragging rights. More »

When we asked if you could beat a $38K Accord in terms of ridiculous MSRP's, we didn't think it would be so easy. For one, you actually topped a $37,580 Accord with a $39,122 Accord Coupe. Then you were able to take the base model, entry-level cars and load them up with so many extra options that these once reasonable vehicles skyrocketed into foreign exotic territory. We have to thank our readers for the great ideas, as well as BMW and Porsche in particular for asking outrageous prices for their supposedly "cheap" models. Below are the ten worst domestic offenders. More »

The folks at U.S. News & World Report have named their top cars for 2008 and the old U.S. of A. did not far so well. In 11 categories there were only two pickups for Detroit automakers: Chevy Silverado 1500 (Best Full Size Pickup) and Tahoe (Best Large SUV). Honda picked up five awards, BMW picked up two and Mazda tied with two cars. There's nothing quite shocking with the picks, as few are going to be surprised to see the Honda Accord Best Midsize Car or the Fit make Best Economy Car. Full list and press release below the jump: More »

Looks like the boys from Roush are spending some time rubbin' up to the boys from the big tower o' power that's the Renaissance Center in Detroit. That grainy camera phone shot above, taken from someone over at PerformanceTrucks.net, appears to show a Roush catalog page featuring what looks like a Roush-accessorized Chevy Silverado. If the image is to be believed, does this mean Roush is looking to expand beyond being a Ford accessory house into some other 'merican brands? Our sources seem to indicate that's the case — we guess we'll all have to wait and see. [via CamaroZ28.com] More »
