No matter how beguiling its looks or convincing its Opel-derived specifications, the Buick Regal has one major handicap: a name laden with disappointment.

MOST OF US PRIDE ourselves on being open-minded, able to accept a new experience without prejudice. So, if I told you that the new compact 2012 Buick Verano was worth a test drive, would you believe me? Most likely, no. To most folks, Buicks are soft-riding geazer pleasers meant for cruising slowly in the left lane with a driver oblivious to the fact that their left turn signal is flashing.

GM sales in China rose sharply in March, a somewhat unexpected increase, as competitors in the country are seeing only modest gains.

I remember in the early 90s Ford had disks like that, called Ford Simulator. I dunno how they were distributed--I got them at a computer software outlet--but they were fairly interesting.
