To challenge its closest rival, the Toyota Motor Co., General Motors Corp. plans to set forth the cheapest hybrid in the form of the Saturn Aura sedan in the United States. The hybrid sedan is aimed at fuel-conscious customers who want to enjoy affordability and efficiency in one car.

The hybrid version of the Saturn Aura comes with a starting price of $22,695 and it is $100 less than Toyota's Prius hybrid. The vehicle will hit showrooms this month. The Saturn Aura will be the first hybrid sedan by an American car maker to be offered in the United States. Aura Green Line's EPA fuel economy rating is rated 28 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

The Saturn Aura is equipped with GM's belt alternator starter system, 2.4L Ecotec engine mated to an electric motor/generator and the 4T45-E four-speed automatic transmission and EBC brake rotors to bolster the performance of the car. It claims 30 percent improvement over the XE.

Aside from the affordability of the Aura, the purchasers are also entitled to a $1,300 tax break as part of the federal government's initiative to encourage the purchase of environment-friendly hybrids. "It makes true hybrid fuel savings available to more people than ever before," Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak said.

GM has pinned much of Saturn's revitalization on the Aura, which has generated glowing reviews. The automaker, which does not disclose sales targets, has sold 7,898 Auras in the first two months of 2007. "Given the fact that the Aura is an absolutely first-rate, terrific vehicle," said Joseph Phillippi of the AutoTrends Consulting in Short Hills, N.J., "it should do reasonably well."

Realizing the boost of environment-friendly aspects for Toyota, which is already famed for its technologically-advanced product lines, GM endeavors to steal some of the positive hype. GM announcements were delivered on the eve of President Bush's visit to its Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kan. The facility is responsible for the manufacture of Aura.

GM is also working on other hybrids other than Aura. According to GM, the production of the Volt, an all-electric car, is likely to start in 2010. The automaker is also planning to introduce other hybrids which will be using various types of technology.

The Saturn Aura is set to rival the Toyota Prius, by far the most well-liked hybrid in the United States with 107,000 units sold in 2006. Nevertheless, starting April, Toyota Prius owners will be eligible for only a $787 federal tax credit. This is because of the gradual reduction of the credit granted by the federal program. The tax credit will eventually be eliminated as more and more models are sold.

Despite the fact that gas-electric hybrid vehicles cost several thousand dollars greater than conventional models, they have lured customers due to fluctuating gas prices. Hybrids have conventional internal combustion engines and electric motors, which assist the gas engine.

General Motors Place Event Tickets - Music Galore Hits Vancouver This Spring

Winter snows will soon melt into blossoming springs, and so it is in Vancouver, where the Canadian city is still reeling off the grandeur of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The calm of the winter will soon pause for the first signs of springtime, and the city of Vancouver offers plenty of events for residents and visitors to partake in while waiting for the summer months to make a cameo in Canada.

Venues such as General Motors Place, home of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, as well as the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts are top places to be in Vancouver this spring, and as hockey season comes to a close there will be plenty of excitement in the city to fill the lull – namely, live music tours. Several top performers will be infiltrating the Vancouver music scene this April and May to play a slew of concerts, and two of the top outfits soaring into Canada are Buddy Guy and the Eagles, both longtime heroes on the music scene.

Buddy Guy, a world-renowned blues singer and guitarist, will bring his famed act to the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts this April for a live performance in the city, and music fans are jumping on the chance to get tickets from <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/">StubHub</a> to the upcoming gig. Guy is an iconic jazz and blues musician recognized in the same vein of heavyweights like Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix, and on April 18 he will jam in Vancouver, drawing all kinds of music fans to the Centre for an epic performance.

Guy first rose to fame as a Chicago blues musician in the late '60s, debuting on the music scene in 1967 with the MCA Records-released album I Left My Blues in San Francisco. The Louisiana native successfully conquered the Chicago blues circuit before blowing up on the mainstream scene, and songs like "Let Me Love You Baby," "No Lie" and "Stone Crazy" became initial fan favorites at concerts. Guy has gone on to win four Grammy Awards (and counting), and the acclaimed musician is touring this year in support of his upcoming album Broken Hearted Blues, which will drop later this spring.

While blues lovers line up at the Center in Vancouver for Performing Arts this month, another red-hot act will come to Vancouver this spring: the Eagles. The classic rockers have been going strong since the early 1970s, and they'll take their soft rock hits to General Motors Place for back-to-back shows this May in Canada. Performing onstage May 9 and 10 to anyone and everyone with <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/general-motors-place-event-tickets/">General Motors Place event tickets</a>, the Eagles will soar into Vancouver to bring back memories with crowd-pleasers like "Take It Easy," "Witchy Woman," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Tequila Sunrise" and "Lyin' Eyes," continuing to rally as they also present the band's newest collection of hits.

The Eagles, a West Coast band with a laidback demeanor, went on hiatus during the 1990s, but they came back onto the music scene in 2007 with Long Road out of Eden, an instant No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and a Grammy Award-winning hit. The studio album is the Eagles' most recent to date, and those in Vancouver this May will get to hear the legendary rockers as they embark upon the Long Road out of Eden Tour.

No matter the genre of music, Vancouver has something for all music lovers this spring, bringing acclaimed acts onto the city's stages for unforgettable concerts. Get concert tickets from <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/">StubHub</a> and celebrate Vancouver's rich music scene this spring!

Is the General Motors Performance cat-back exhaust system made of T-304 stainless steal?

I've talk to a few people who own this system and they say that the words stainless steal are not printed anywhere on the system, I'm sure this does not mean anything but I just want to make sure. GM claims on there website that the system is made of T-304 stainless steaI so I did a little research. I called a company I found on the net who sells genuine GM parts and asked them if they knew. I was told that it was NOT stainless and that was why the price was a lot lower than some of the other systems they sell. Is it possible that GM is doing some false advertising, or is this system really stainless?

If they say it's t304 on the site then I'm sure it is, if you think it isn't then spend the extra money and get a flowmatster or some other high performance system
