The profit forecasts are based on big cuts in expenses that already are under way; economies of scale from sharing parts and vehicle platforms; and a volume increase that calls for doubling U.S. and worldwide sales in five years. It will be a big gain from the... Full article...

Roll out the rally cars, billion-horsepower engines and every conceivable electronic device -- and some you couldn't imagine -- replica rattlesnake seat covers, bamboo floor mats and more rims than a junkyard and you'll begin to picture SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show. Anything and everything that can be affixed, attached, screwed on or bolted down to a car or truck is on display at the private show, which begins Tuesday and... Full article...

They are the pair of Dodges that feel more like trucks and less like pickups. But for the 2010 model year, these big rigs -- in all five trim levels -- finally offer interiors and exteriors that are executive worthy, though the truck has blue collar roots. But now architects can finally arrive on job sites in the same vehicle the crews they hire use. Following the successful launch of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, it was only a matter of... Full article...

That car that grandma only drove to church on Sunday with low miles and all the extras that you got and now want to use to get something a bit more hip? Chances are you'll be offered far below the book value from a dealer. Sell it on your own instead. Especially if you've got a Toyota, Honda or Ford, the top brands for reliability, according to the 2009 Annual Car Reliability Survey from Consumer Reports magazine... Full article...

"It didn't take us more than about a minute to decide where it should be," said Nick Reilly, GM executive vice president and new head of international operations. He and CEO Fritz Henderson agreed on Shanghai during a phone call. Reilly was already stationed there as director of GM's Asia Pacific operations. But the choice primarily reflects the U.S...

Edmunds CEO Jeremy Anwyl shot back that the White House was "shooting the messenger." Edmunds said cash for clunkers cost taxpayers $24,000 per vehicle sold. Nearly 690,000 vehicles were sold during the $3 billion cash for clunkers program that offered up to $4,500 rebates, officially known as the Car Allowance Rebate System, but Edmunds.com...

While the last test car had oval, RS-style exhaust outlets, this car is sporting even larger, circular outlets. This is also the first time we've seen vents just behind the rear wheels. We assume that is to help cool what appears to be a carbon-ceramic brake package. On the front, we can see a slightly different splitter and some new aerodynamic winglets on the... Full article...

For the most part, they look like regular cars, drive like regular cars and generally feel like them. But then touch a single button and the three-piece roof folds up smartly into the trunk, and all of sudden everything ordinary becomes better. For those who want it all, hardtop convertibles make it possible. Earlier this year, Infiniti introduced the 2009 G convertible. The word "ordinary" and... Full article...
