Ford Motor Co. will report its first monthly year-over-year sales gain in nearly two years today, thanks to a much-needed push from the program, company officials said Sunday. The Dearborn automaker would not provide specific figures until today. The $1 billion federal program to retire less efficient vehicles is all but out... Full article...

Increasingly, manufacturers are equipping their droptops with folding metal contraptions, despite their complexity and cost. The latest example: the 2009 BMW Z4, the first roadster from the Bavarian manufacturer with a hideaway hard top. It succeeds the Z4 Roadster and Coupe. Others that have recently installed hard tops include Volkswagen's Eos, Infiniti's G37, Chrysler's... Full article...

Journalists pegged the aluminum-bodied sports car built by a famous coachbuilder on a Fiat chassis as a legitimate rival to Ferrari and Maserati. U.S. automakers -- always on the lookout for the next styling hit -- were equally impressed and quickly snapped one up when it became available for sale. It seemed a bargain compared to another sensation introduced at the same time... Full article...

This Friday the representatives of the automaker have made a statement that Dodge Viper, the company’s signature product, will be built for 2010 “and beyond”. Several weeks ago it has been noticed that the production of the car will stop in December 2009. Apparently, the new... Full article...

At this time the project is being developed by AMG engineers. The green car is based on the new SLS supercar, so it will hold the same name: SLS eDrive. The presentation of Mercedes-Benz SLS is going to be in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Its plug-in sibling is not coming because the project is in its primary stage of development.

Whether by bad luck, bad design or the stars just stop aligning; every good and bad thing passes. But that doesn't mean it can't come back: Cinderella may have cleaned a lot of fireplaces, but even she got hitched. The Ford Taurus arrived three decades ago with a youthful vigor that would propel it to become the No. 1 sedan in America. It was a winner, a juggernaut, the San Francisco 49ers of the '80s with Joe Montana in the driver's seat. But Montana split for the Kansas City... Full article...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

The trike uses the best in the world of motorcycles and cars, and finally merges it all with a jet-like shape. Power comes from a 100hp Honda V4 engine that when combined with its low 970 lbs 440kg weight, gives an excellent power-to-weight ratio of 4.4hp per kg. The trike is built on a steel frame, and all the power from the engine goes to the lone rear wheel by means of a chain. It has a low center of gravity, and... Full article...

Volvo Car UK believes that the principle of hybrid cars being exempt from the Congestion Charge is now outdated and unfair.
