Welcome to Choppin' Competition #52! Chevrolet came out with the sleek, supercharged Cobalt SS in 2005 and showed the world that it could compete with some of the best compact tuner cars in the world. They upped the ante in 2009 when they added a set of Brembo brakes, sport-tuned suspension, form-fitting race seats, and a turbocharged engine. This car came out of the gate and earned the title of the fastest production FWD car to lap the Nurburgring. However, the Cobalt has been replaced by the Cruze, with nothing really being mentioned of an SS variant. This is where you come in... Your task is to turn the Chevrolet Cruze into a Super Sport compact tuner with looks to…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #50! For most of its days, Cadillac has always been on the breaking edge of technology. Now that GM has let the world know of its break-through electric vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt, it has given Cadillac the technology to lead the luxury world into the automotive future of fuel economy and efficiency. Cadillac delivered this with the Converj Concept this year at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. Your task is to morph the Converj Concept into anything you'd like. Be it a sedan, hatchback, or even a monster truck your goal is to make your Converj different than the Converj. You may only use the Cadillac Converj Concept…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #49! Everyday we hear something new and disappointing from GM. It's now been stated that Saturn is getting cut while Pontiac is just a "niche brand" that will most likely cease to exist by 2012. What this means is no more Kappa twins, no more Kappa II, and absolutely no chance of small RWD Pontiacs. Well guess what... today is your day to make that little RWD car a Chevrolet! The Alpha platform will be the base to the upcoming small Cadillac. However, this car should share its chassis with another car to keep cost down, and what better brand than Chevy to host it? This car must be small with RWD proportions and may be a coupe, sedan, …

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #48! GM and Saab debuted a refreshed 9-3 for 2008, but we think it can get better! It is a very sexy design all around, but there is still room for it to be more innovative and classy by its already impressive design. Should you take on this task, your duty is to modify the 2008 Saab 9-3 into anything you can imagine. Want to drop and mod it to be a street racer? How about evolving it into the next generation? Or maybe you even want to stretch it into a limousine and show Cadillac that the DTS isn’t good enough. Whatever you choose to do, make sure it shows what you picture in your head because I’m sure the end result will be brilli…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #47! GM and Buick debuted the Riviera Coupe Concept in China not too long ago and everybody is loving what they've seen. Showing what the brand can do with its unique styling while implementing the Chinese designers into the final product, many are thoroughly impressed by this extraordinary concept. However, should you take on this task, your duty is to modify the Riviera Coupe Concept into anything you can imagine. Do you want to show us a more production-ready vehicle in the form of a LaCrosse? How about chopping that roof off for California cruising? Maybe you'll even drop it and put it on 22s for a more dramatic effect. Whicheve…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #46! GM and Cadillac debuted the Provoq Concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year and received some pretty good feedback on it. Though they called it 'Provoq,' We all know that this is the prequel to Cadillac's upcoming vehicle, the BRX, which is guaranteed to be at least slightly different than the concept. Should you take on this task, your duty is to modify the Provoq concept into anything you can imagine. Do you want to show us a more production-ready vehicle? How about chopping that roof off? Maybe you'll even drop it and put it on 22s for a more dramatic effect. Whichever you choose to do, it's…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #45! As what has been regarded by many as GM's finest compact in forever makes its way to our shore in the coming months, excitement is all but waning. And with a car so well-designed and seemingly well-engineered, what could be possibly be improved? How about a proper coupe? Sedan? The TwinTop? RedLine? Something completely original? That's up to you. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to Modify the Saturn ASTRA in any way you see it. A mild change, a wild change, or anything in between is find. A super-efficient Green Line or hot RedLine are some ideas. Remember that foreign market Astras have a wide variety of bodystyles…

First-place and congratulations go to both Z28luvr and Gizhost for their top-notch entires. While Z answered the question we've all been asking - seriously, why not a -360 pickup? - Gizhost took a different approach and modernized the Trailblazer with GMT-900 styling and it looks very handsome. Thanks also to MRDETROITMETAL and Mariobro88 for their great entires. Hope to see you all (and more!) around in our next competiti…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #44! The sadness about the news that the Chevrolet Trailblazer is slated to be slowly phased out over the next few years begins with the fact that its predecessor, the Blazer, helped birth the midsize SUV market and compounded by the fact that the GMT-360 platform it rides on and Atlas I6 powertrain its powered by are still both very good. Blame substand interior materials and features, aged exterior design, and a seeming lack of interest by GM for this tragedy. But what if it were guaranteed a reprieve from the gallows if you could make a convincing styling argument for it? Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to give any GM…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #43! Recently unveiled to great fanfare - and some doubt - Chevrolet's Volt is not merely another concept car. Its been made abundantly clear by everyone at General Motors that the most fanciful aspect of the automobile we saw at Detroit was the exterior sheetmetal. The guts of the Volt - its advanced E-Flex propulsion system - will be as real as can be. As opposed to coming-soon plug-in hybrids, GM considers the Volt a full electric car with range assist via a small gasoline engine. Already, GM has introduced fuel cell-powered versions around the world and has been making steps to bring a Volt to the public within a few short years. …

Congratulations for narrowly beating out...your own compact convertible entry! Kudos to MarioBro88 for his simple but handsome 9-1 subcompact, an ideal companion for urban driving.

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #42! The Aero-X concept shown above was meant to preview a new direction for GM's Sweedish division, a vision that included dynamic, bespoke styling that enhanced SAABs appeal while remaning distinctly original. Elements of the Aero-X manifested itself in the recently-revealed 2008 9-3 line, including the more aggressive front fascia and ice-block taillamps. And while niche players have traditionally survived on one model alone, today's market demands diversification. The 9-3 reamins fairly popular, but the 9-5 and 9-7X were tepid performers at best. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to design a reinvigorating SAAB vehicl…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #41! Ford was first in 1957 with a solid-bodied hybrid of a car and pickup truck, but GM wasn't far behind. Two years after the Ranchero's introduction, Chevrolet responded with the Impala-based El Camino and not only did it outlive its Ford competitor, but its name has become iconic among enthusiasts of all stripes. The beloved 'Elky' ended production in 1987, but lives on today overseas as the Ute, still rear-wheel drive and based on a fullsize car platform. With word of a US market VE-based Ute possibly greenlit, the El Camino could live again. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to design a modern day El Camino or GMC Ca…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #38! Time for some more seasonal fun! Your task this time is to take any current General Motors product and alter in any fashion you'd like to make it foolish. What's foolish you ask? Anything. A mud-bogger Astra, a Lucerne in General Lee colors, a Hello Kitty Yukon XL, the Aztek. Just kidding about the Aztek; its not a current product. Besides, clearly someone took your idea. Please use a current GM vehicle as the base pic for your entry. Some Picture Sources... -Autodeadline* -Autoblog -CarPhotoSite -Netcarshow Size guidelines remain at 800x600, so please size your entry accordingly. Please do not submit your images as Bitmap (.…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #37! Well, its here - the long-awaited rear-wheel drive Pontiac concept that is uncannily similar to what we'll be given to purchase in the coming year. Many have fallen head over heals for the clean, crisp, and modern lines of the G8 while other wish it had more character, more charm, and more Pontiac styling. Wherever your opinion falls, we can all agree we're in store for a real high-quality performance sedan that just may recapture some much-needed audience for Pontiac. For those in the latter camp, however, here's your chance. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the existing Pontiac G8 show car in any way you…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #36! Time for a little bit of topical fun. You've been under a rock if you haven't heard all the latest rumors surrounding the potential buyout of the Chrysler Group from DaimlerChrysler and all the consequences such an action would entail. If this hypothetically occured, its less than likely current or future Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep vehicles would simply be rebaged under an appropriate General Motors brand. But what if it did...? Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify any existing Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep production or concept vehicle as a General Motors product. As you can suspect, pretty much anything goes and if…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #35! Hey, you! Open your eyes...wake up! Yeah, that was for the people still waiting for the LaCrosse Super to debut. Like the Second Coming, its coming...but...when? We may get to see the real thing as soon as Chicago or as late as New York. Kind of makes you wonder whether a rumored Lucerne Super will ever break cover, nevermind what it'll look like. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the LaCrosse, Lucerne, or Enclave as a Super trim. Lowered, blacked-out, low-profile, its up to you. How much you modify the Buick of your choice is up to you, but remember that the Super trim going to aim for luxury with performa…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #34! One of the most anticipated new cars debuted recently at the Detroit Auto Show - Cadillac's second-generation CTS sedan. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the 2008 Cadillac CTS in any way you see fit. Some possibilities include restyling the front, sides, or rear, designing different trim levels (V-Series), or different bodystyles (coupe, wagon, convertible), using it as a base for another vehicle (BRX, BLS), or something totally unique (pimped, riced, rally-style, etc.). How much or how little you modify the CTS is up to you. Please use only the 2008 Cadillac CTS for your entry. Some Picture Sources... -…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #33! Well, its out already and a little on the early side I might add, but we now have a full look of what the new Chevy Malibu looks like. There was a lot of hype surrounding this debut and much of it has been met or exceeded, but some are left wishing certain aspects could've ended up looking better. Now, you have a chance to make it so. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the 2008 Chevy Malibu in any way you see fit. Some possibilities include different trim levels or packages (SS), bodystyles (coupe, convertible, MAXX), simple modifications to the existing design (restyled front, sides, or rear), or modifying i…

Not yet released, some have criticized its design already as being a little on the tepid side, differing greatly from the dynamic 3-door Antara concept. Now is your chance to work a little magic and give it a new VUE. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to modify the 2008 Saturn VUE in any way you see fit. Some possibilities include a more true-to-concept 3-door VUE Sport, what the Red Line version will look like, or modify it to fit a different division. How much or how little you m…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #31! The 2006 SEMA show has come and gone. We were impressed with some of what was offered and, well, less-than-enthused about others. Here's your chance to set the record straight. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to either redesign a GM vehicle showcased at SEMA or give a non-showcased GM vehicle the SEMA treatment.

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #30!

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #25! The future of the HUMMER lineup is up to much speculation right now with the softening market for fullsize trucks and sport utilities combined with the division's very limited scope.

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #24! I've got a feva'...and the only cure...is more Zeta! A mere three hours after Holden debuted their next-generation VE Commodore, Statesman, and Caprice sedans, we're getting set to make them better...for the American market. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to take one of the four Holden VE sedans and Americanize it as a US General Motors product. Remember that the vehicles we're likely to see are a Pontiac, Buick, or Chevrolet, with the most likely models being Monte Carlo, Impala, G8 (Bonneville/Grand Prix replacement), GTO, Invicta (Buick sedan), or Riviera. The bodystyle you create is up to you. Size guidelines rem…

I decided we could do a pick-you-own-picture Choppin' Comp this time, so I thought this was a good idea... Your task is to create a vehicle that you feel would fill a gap in GM's lineup. There aren't a whole lot of gap's in GM's lineup because it is so vast, but if you think creatively I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something. Or, if you feel that GM has a particularly weak spot in their lineup, that would work as well. Just a few ideas: Zeta vehicles Small RWD vehicles (think Kappa sedans, etc) Minivans Cadillac Coupe Please resize your pictures to 800 pixels wide before posting. Deadline for entries is Friday, July 14th at 11:59 PM your time. Now get ch…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #19! We have all seen Pontiac's new G5 coupe, a Canadian market import that itself is a lightly-rebodied two-door Chevrolet Cobalt. Needless to say, many of us are disappointed at the lack of effort it seems went into this car that - aside from some minor cosmetic enhancements - doesn't appear to add any excitement to the performance division. Here's your chance to change that. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to create an appropriate Pontiac G5. Remember, this is a compact, entry-level non-sedan so keep in mind size and pricing constraints. Also, keep in mind the bodystyle will be sleek and coupelike. That is the only rule…

Welcome to Choppin' Competition #18! SAAB has been largely ignored by many of us as the redheaded stepchild of the General Motors family. But with a solid customer base, international flavor, and a rich history steeped in bleeding-edge aviation technology, SAAB is poised to become a vital part of GM's luxury portfolio...if it gets new product. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to 'Chop the SAAB AeroX into the next SAAB vehicle you think SAAB needs. Ideas include the next 9-5, Kappa-based Sonnett, next 9-3, midsize crossover. You're not limited by those, though, so feel free to make up something of your own! The only rule aside from 800x600 size guidelines i…
