The Sierra Denali HD marks the first time the luxurious Denali trim has been offered on GMC’s toughest trucks.

GMC has always been about “Professional Grade” trucks, but the Denali trim level takes it up a notch or two — it’s the package for people who work hard but like to do it in style, too. Now, the folks in the big trucks will get their own pampering as GMC reveals the new 2011 GMC Sierra Denali Heavy Duty.inline_mediumwraptextright28350700/features/news/1003_2011_gmc_sierra_heavy_duty2011-GMC-sierra-denali-heavy-duty-front.jpgTrue

2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition - Chevy Exotic Sport Coupe - Automobile Magazine
To let you know the Corvette is alive and kicking.

A new seventh-generation (C7) Corvette is at least three years away. That means the current C6 Vette will have to soldier on for nine, possibly ten, full model years. To keep the old girl fresh, Chevy will continue coining limited-edition packages and model variations to juggle the storehouse of engines, transaxles, frames, bodystyles, and chassis components developed for the sixth generation.inline_mediumwraptextright28344964/features/news/1003_2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition1003_01_z+2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Alfa Romeo's Centennial Anniversary - 4c, Giulia, Giulietta, Crossover - Automobile Magazine
Alfa Romeo plans to unveil the 4C, a compact, lightweight sports car concept this summer. Here’s the scoop.

This August, Alfa Romeo will celebrate its centennial at Pebble Beach, where it is a featured marque at the Concours d’Elegance. Rumor has it that the Italians will cap off the festivities by unveiling the 4C, a compact, lightweight sports car concept. Says one insider from parent company Fiat’s headquarters: “The 8C has been a very successful halo car. What we need next is a more affordable follow-up model that spreads the message over a wider customer base.”inline_mediumwraptextright28091446/features/news/1004_alfa_romeos_centennial_anniversary1004_02_z+alfa_romeo_4c+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Last year brought the newest edition of the bigger Bimmer-and in its fifth generation, the luxury sedan got a style-ectomy that reversed the awkward proportions and surfaces of the 2002-2008 model. The quintessential BMW driving feel remains intact, despite a horde of new electronic interventions…
