GM Recognizes Chevy Survivor, Camaro's "#1 Fan"

Nissan isn't the only auto brand pulling at the heart-strings with customers' stories. 

GM's Chevrolet division highlighted its safety and reliability on Friday by presenting a new 2011 Malibu to Marc Keinath, a Michigan resident whose Malibu was crushed (though he wasn't) during an icy encounter with a tractor-trailer three days earlier.

GM's "#1 Camaro fan" Christopher Tribuzzo, who was discovered on Facebook, was also invited to Detroit by GM. He attended the recent North American International Auto Show to get a peek at the model's future with Ed Welburn, the automaker's VP of global design.
