He likes to reel off the names of new GM models earning solid reviews, notably the Chevy HHR, Buick Lucerne and Saturn Sky. GM has made enormous leaps in quality too, so Lutz bridles at the notion that its vehicles don't stack up. "I can't find words that can be printed in a family publication to express my opinion of that view," he says in his office in downtown Detroit...

Here's a sneak peak at some acts hoping to make the May 20 finale, with odds calculated by the gambling site Sky Bet. Finland: Lordi Hard Rock Hallelujah. Prepare for the day of rockening. Some Finns aren't convinced this heavy-metal band, decked out like a group of J.R.R. Tolkien refugees, should represent their placid Nordic nation. But chainsaw-wielding Lordi insists it's not a Satanic group, offering a song called Devil...
