Report: General Motors will build the Cadillac Converj
General Motors showed the Cadillac Converj concept at the Detroit Auto Show beginning of this year. This plug-in extended range Coupe was at first sight something people wanted to see GM produce, but with the economy down and GM near bankruptcy it seemed too good to be true.
No according to The Detroit News, the production version of the Converj concept will very likely reach showrooms in just few years shortly after GM has launched the Chevrolet Volt, which will share its Voltec drivetrain with the Converj.
GM begins a new chapter as bankruptcy filed
As expected, General Motors, despite all its best efforts and the government’s best efforts, was forced to file to bankruptcy today after it missed the US government deadline. With $82.3 billion in assets and $172.8 billion in debt GM had no option but to file for Chapter 11 proceedings, which it did with a court New York.
GM has more than 100,000 debtors and it hopes some of its unsecured debtors will also recover some of their debts. It is the largest manufacturer to file for bankruptcy, bigger than Chrysler LLC.

WTF? Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept?
This uncanny Cadillac is created by Lorus Kulesus and it is meant to last for a century. The name of the 90th element – thorium – in the title of the design proposal is no coincident.
Kulesus sees the element acting as a nuclear fuel so the batteries powering the car can rely on an almost infinite source of energy. The fact that World Thorium Concept adds up as WTF is at the same time humorous and exact: it is a little bit far-fetched, but a futuristic concept has to be.
