Ford has acquired Livio, a car mobile connectivity company specializing in hooking up smartphone entertainment and navigation to dashboards from a variety of brands, as the car company pushes to lead an industry standard for automotive apps. Ford already has its own infotainment system, SYNC, developed with Microsoft and using AppLink for smartphone integration. However, […]
It’s good to know that we live in a day and age where technology is increasingly making our lives safer. When you’re out on the road, OnStar keeps you ready for anything – from turn-by-turn directions to hands-free calling. OnStar is a powerful built-in technology available in most GM vehicles that connects drivers to a real person, 24/7. OnStar can even help out with almost any situation on the road, whether it’s a crash, medical emergency, or even a flat tire.
Now there’s a smartphone app that connects drivers to their vehicles. The OnStar RemoteLink Mobile App lets car owners control their vehicles from just about anywhere. When installed, the app allows drivers to do things like lock the doors, check on fuel levels, or even start the engine.
Check out this video to learn more about how OnStar can help, and visit http://www.youtube.com/OnStar to see what other incredible features are available.

It’s the killing ground where hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of SUVs, sports cars, and sedans meet their grisly end before they have more than a handful of miles on the clock. Some of General Motor‘s earliest work on building new models comes as much from tearing apart cars as it does piecing together […]
Chevrolet has begun shipping the hotly-anticipated 2014 Corvette C7, with the first thousand cars expected to arrive at dealerships over the next few weeks. The two-door coupe, revealed earlier this year, is GM’s fastest, most powerful, and most economical Corvette to-date, though that economy – as good as 30mpg – can only be achieved if […]
General Motors appears ready to begin offering a redesigned Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban as well as a GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. It is looking GM will keep these vehicles the same size as we have become familiar with, but include upgraded materials, better handling and even best-in-class fuel efficiency. These new models are expected […]
General Motors has introduced the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and High Country trucks, as well as the 2014 GMC Sierra and Sierra Denali 1500 trucks. Both have options for a V8 6.2-liter engine with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which GM says is the most powerful engine/torque combo among all light-duty pickup […]
Wireless charging for phones is taking off, and we’re seeing the feature popping up more and more as the months go by, but it’s something that certainly isn’t the norm just yet. However, GM wants to incorporate the technology into cars, and it’s reported that the company will be including wireless charging in some of […]
General Motors has revealed that it will recall of 293,000 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles due to issues with braking, something that has resulted in more than two dozen crashes, thankfully all without injury. This follows a previous GM recall earlier this summer for nearly 200,000 SUVs over a fire risk, and another back in May of […]
Cadillac has taken the wraps off of the Elmiraj Concept, the company’s latest design study, a luxury four-seater grand coupé borrowing design cues from the monstrous Ciel Concept. Over 5.2 meters long, with the sort of menacing styling Darth Vader might approve of, the Elmiraj Concept runs a 4.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 good for around 500HP, […]
Electric cars might be silent and do not emit any kinds of smoke which could end up polluting our environment, but this does not mean that they come cheap. While there has been a fair number of incentives introduced by various governments worldwide to increase the uptake of electric cars such as attractive rebates, the lack of an electric car’s range as well as higher than normal entry price points have proved prohibitive factors for the discerning consumer. Perhaps GM’s move to reduce the plug-in hybrid 2014 Chevrolet Volt’s price by $5,000 might sway your mind.
Yes sir, the sticker price will remain the same for the 2012 and 2013 Chevrolet Volts, but GM has made up its mind to offer $5,000 rebates on those cars, alongside discounted lease deals, and the 2014 model will have a $5,000 price cut, which means it will cost you $34,995 per ride – shipping included. This would help narrow the gap against other rechargeable cars, which is always a good thing for the consumer. Although I do not think that this would spark off the start of a price war among electric cars, it is still a good place to begin with. Hopefully with the price cut, this does not mean that quality has been compromised.
