2010 Dodge Journey Crew AWD
2010 Dodge Journey Crew AWD - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Clearly the best vehicle on Chrysler's mid-size platform.

I was more impressed by the Journey than I expected to be. It's smooth and quiet, and the powertrain is refined; the six-speed automatic works pretty well with the V-6.

2011 Automobile of the Year: Chevrolet Volt

2011 Automobile of the Year: Chevrolet Volt
2011 Automobile of the Year: Chevrolet Volt - Automobile Magazine
General Motors has built the world's most sophisticated automobile. Do you believe it yet?

It wasn't a shoo-in. Quite the opposite, in fact. On its way to becoming Automobile Magazine's 2011 Automobile of the Year, the Chevrolet Volt endured more scrutiny and skepticism than any of the nine other semifinalists. From the unprecedented levels of publicity, we knew the Volt as a green-as-grass image builder, but we also couldn't ignore that it's a car built by a historically inconsistent automaker around unproven technology. The foreign aura is furthered by the fact that the Volt has no obvious competition and no real predecessor. It is genuinely an all-new car, in the most simplistic sense as well as in the greater notion that the Volt is unlike any vehicle we have ever driven. No apologies if we were a bit circumspect.

COMMENT: Erased memories and raised expectations for GM

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
I'm not too surprised that the offer price for GM shares is heading up. The analysts can argue over the company's future prospects, dissecting company strategy (or lack of it) till the cows come home, but a conversation I had earlier this week sums up what many potential investors are believing.
