Calling it nothing less than a "brilliant idea," the team at Popular Mechanics recently honored the 2011 Chevrolet Volt as one of its "Top Products of 2010."

The key for the prestigious publication? The Volt's innovative powertrain, which delivers up to 50 miles of emissions-free-and anxiety-free-electric driving. It's like this: With other electric vehicles, when you're out juice, you're out of luck. But if the Volt's batteries are depleted, the?

Ford recently published capability numbers for their Super Duty truck that look strong - under certain conditions. So we issued our own challenge: Our new 2011 Chevy Silverado HD vs. their 2011 Super Duty, towing a 19,000-lb trailer up a steep 7% grade in the Colorado Rockies. A real worked test. To ensure the test was fair and impartial, editors from PickupTrucks.com and DieselPowermag.com set up the test and recorded the results. Our professional driver was not paid for or provided by GM.

Watch and see who wins as the Chevy Silverado HD takes on the Ford Super…

When people think of Black Friday shopping, they usually think of things like TVs, clothes and small appliances. Now you can add cars, trucks and SUVs.

November 26th is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and is the best day to buy a car, according to car pricing researchers at www.truecar.com.

Looking at day-by-day car pricing for the past several years, their data revealed that discounts on Black Friday are the biggest of the year.

"Dealership's discounts and manufacturers' rebates and special offers result in the greatest markdowns of the year on Black Friday," said Mr. Toprak, of Truecar.com.

Average new car discounts on November 26th is projected to be 7.5%. The average discount the days before and after are expected to be around 6%.

Be sure to get in on the Black Friday Madness

"Dealerships typically spend a lot of money on advertising for that day," said Toprak "but it's not usually a particularly big day for car shopping."

That's probably the reason for the extra-large discounts, Toprak speculated. Auto dealers that aren't getting the usual amount of business just keep trying harder.

It's Crunch Time for Dealers

Black Friday happens to fall close to the end of the month this year when car deals are typically sweeter as the month goes on because dealerships must meet their sales quotas in order to get additional incentives from the manufacturers.

Besides the usual monthly deadlines, dealers are also under pressure to clear out 2010 cars and trucks before the end of the calendar year. Those cars will be harder to sell after December 31st, when they become "last year's" models!

Three days ago, Chevrolet let loose with official details, pictures and even a few videos of the 2011 Camaro Convertible just ahead of the car's official debut at the LA Auto Show. The droptop pony car hasn't been a secret for some time now, but this is our first real look at a standard production model.

Perhaps it's because the concept version debuted nearly four years ago in Detroit or because we…
