General Motors invited Carscoop on its first official trip to Detroit amongst other Car, Tech and Lifestyle Bloggers, to test-drive their new 2008 Collection. On our behalf, we sent Dani, one of the few female car bloggers in our area of work. Dani left the trip with a newfound respect for GM’s efforts in striving to compete with soaring Asian and European carmakers, but she also left with some interesting observations and perspectives that we can’t wait to share with you all.

Through out the next week Dani will be posting our 2-day experience at the GM test track at the Milford Proving Grounds, also known as “Black Lake”, our interesting dinner and conversation with the “GM” (General Manager) of GM, Ed Peper, and other little interesting pieces of information that we picked up along the way. We’ll also post our own personal insight to the cars we got to drive and what we thought of them including the 2008 Cadillac CTS and the Saab 9-3. (Photo: Dani)

BTW: Carscoop attended a manufacturer-sponsored event, meaning that GM handled travel & accommodations
