In an effort to keep the wheels of (re)invention rolling, General Motors has released plans for a "72-Hour Sale", which starts today and runs through July 6. By our calculations, that's considerably longer than 72 hours, but we're going to give GM the benefit of the doubt and assume they mean business hours. Besides, calling it a "144-Hour Sale" wouldn't be quite as catchy.

To drive home the "72" theme, GM is offering shoppers a shot at 0% financing for up to 72 months (see what they did there?). There are two small caveats: to get that deal, you'll need to be a "well-qualified buyer" (i.e. meet certain credit requirements), and you'll need...

Like us, you may have always dreamed of owning a new BMW, or Benz, or maybe even a Tesla. Dreams are nice, aren't they? Like ponies and cupcakes. They are not practical road maps to the future, however, and as the adults in this room, it's our sworn duty to calmly suggest you consider a Plan B at this moment in history. If you're in the market for a new car--and some of you still are--it's the perfect time...

A new study by the Financial Post says that driving a particular car in, say, Grand Theft Auto makes a player more likely to buy that car in real life. See, dad: videogames have a role to play in the economic recovery, too. [KickingTires] Automakers to the rescue. Again -- As most of you know, the state of Victoria, Australia is experiencing some...
