DETROIT, June 7 -- Unabashed, uninhibited, unmatched. Check out the all-new blog, TcConfidential. It's the inside story from the insiders at TheCarConnection.com, your minute-by-minute look at what's happening around the automotive world.

And there's plenty happening, which you'll find on TcConfidential, and TheCarConnection itself this week.

This week's issue also includes a review of Subaru's 2006 crossover, the redesigned Forester.

Spy shots this week include the decidedly more upscale, next-generation 2006 Saturn Vue.

In business news, see why shareholders are ready to rage at General Motors during the automaker's annual meeting. And find out about the good news for GM, which scored well, along with Toyota, in the latest Harbour Report, a critical measure of factory productivity.
