2011 Chevrolet Sierra 2500HD: Complete first look

Image
There are dozens of GM models to come in my annual extravaganza, but as an ex Chevy 3/4-ton owner, the 2500 is near and dear to my heart. Chevrolet has only just released photos of the 2011 Sierra 2500HD yet, but thanks to Davestuff, you'll know more about what's under the hood than GM--or your local dealer.

2011 Buick Regal: Complete first look

Image
It's that time of year again on Davestuff, when I bring you my world-exclusive look at the complete GM lineup for next year. I'm starting with the Buick Regal CXL (4GL69). Normally, Regal is not a name I'd get worked up about, nor would anyone else under the age of 68 (that's not a criticism--I know what Buick owner demographics are like). But the 2011 Regal is a completely new direction for Buick. It is an actual sport sedan, with good looks and an actual six-speed transmission. Actually, enthusiasts will notice the manual transmission is not on the list yet. I'm presuming it won't be available with the base engine, only an option with the turbo, so that's a few months away. I'll update this post if it becomes available. Q56 Wheels , 18" x 8" (45.7 cm x 20.3 cm) 13-spoke painted alloy Q9S Wheels , 19" x 8.5" (48.3 cm x 21.6 cm) 10-spoke ultra bright machined alloy Highlights   Available models include; CXL 4G...
