I work on shopclickdrive.com which is GM's foray into selling cars online (we leverage our relationship with our dealerships...a third of our US dealers signed up for the program in 3 months). Very cool stuff when you think about how no other auto manufacturer is trying to sell cars online...especially at our scale.

Beyond the we use SVN as our SCM, we're moving our stack to all the best practice stuff: client-side mvc, restful apis, SOLID code backed by automated unit and functional tests.
