But the money is tied to a plan to limit carbon emissions that opponents say could cripple the industry. The money will help "build more efficient cars and trucks right here in America," Obama said Thursday. To pay for the effort -- as well as for a middle-class tax cut -- Obama's budget would collect more than $600 billion in... Article added: 2009-02-27 15:55:38 Article Views Rating: 214

Autoline on Autoblog with John McElroy OUR SAFETY REGULATIONS ARE A CHARADEWhen I was growing up as a kid, cars didn't have a whiff of safety equipment. No seatbelts. No headrests. No collapsible steering columns. No nothing. On long trips my dad would even let me or one of my brothers lie on the package shelf behind the back seat. And we weren't the only ones.

This thing looks like it's suffering from the world's worst migraine. To signal, I suppose, the model-year face-lift, Nissan designers gave the 2009 Murano a tensed chrome brow, a fierce furrowing that is, actually, quite a bit more aggressive than anything else in the Nissan garage. Compared with the new Murano, the lava-breathing... Article added: 2008-04-05 08:51:23 Article Views Rating: 209
