The way you shop for a used car online is changing.

In the past, a shopper might have used the online Kelley Blue Book or NADA appraising tools and then felt like he or she had done enough research to hit the road and shop.

While those indeed are valuable tools, there’s been a technological breakthrough that can help the good online car shoppers become great ones. It’s called the CarGurus DealFinder. Use it in your next used-car search, and it could save you thousands of dollars.

What makes DealFinder different, and where can you find it? Keep reading to find out.

Saying General Motors has built a lot of cars is like saying the ocean has a lot of water.

GM was formed in 1908, so putting together a list of the best vehicles it has ever built is a highly subjective look back through the company’s history. A list could easily be split into many categories: best looking, best performing, most reliable, etc.

Instead I’ve decided to take a broad look at what I think are simply the 10 best. My reasoning is below, but feel free to argue or let me know what cars would make your list of the best vehicles GM ever built.

Chrysler hasn’t had a lot of positive press lately. Between bankruptcy, being taken over by the Italians, and not having a lot of new product to tout, it’s been an easy target for auto writers (myself included).

While I’m sure good times are on the horizon for Chrysler, let’s not forget about some of the great cars the company has produced throughout its long history. Keep reading for the 10 best vehicles I think Chrysler has ever built, and be sure to chime in with your favorites, too.

Mustang GT 5.0 Comes Back for 2011, But Can It Smoke the Challenger and Camaro?

We love to argue the merits of today’s pony cars.

The Mustang/Camaro/Challenger question always inspires passion. It’s an argument that inevitably turns to (or begins with) the power output of V8 trims, and that’s where the Ford Mustang GT couldn’t quite hang with its competition.

But all those arguments happened when the Mustang GT had a 4.6-liter V8 under its hood. The famed 5.0 disappeared in 1995. Since then, many ‘Stang lovers have yearned for a proper 5.0 badge to adorn the ‘ol GT’s fenders. Well, friends, it’s back for 2011 and lemme tell ya, the Hemi-powered Challenger and SS Camaro now have reason to quiver in their rubber-wrapped boots.

Should GM Pull the Plug on Chevy Trucks?

I think General Motors should kill Chevy trucks.

I arrived at this conclusion after a weekend away from my computer (it’s amazing where one’s mind goes when not influenced by the Internet) and driving past a Buick/GMC/Pontiac dealer. I began to wonder how the dealer would cope with the loss of Pontiac.

On the other side of town, I happened across a Chevy/Cadillac dealer, and that’s when my mind’s wheels really started turning. Now that only four GM brands remain, it makes sense for the company to sell Chevy, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac under one roof.
