This is what happened to Toyota which has to recall nearly 700,000 cars in China because of such minor problem as a faulty window switch. It was simpler when the passengers of cars rolled down their windows by hand, but in order to make things easier the automotive industry has connected the window switches to electricity and now the windows go down by a push of a button. The Chinese officials say the... Full article...

General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC sold 38.6 percent, or about 266,000 of the nearly 700,000 clunker replacements.

It's gathered lots of awards, accolades and all-around praise. People love it, and the commercials I've seen always leave a little warm spot in my belly. I've been scheduled to drive it a few times, but the timing was never right. It was delayed at the car wash or I was out of town. Maybe I was subconsciously avoiding our first date. From a distance, I didn't understand any of the raving over this vehicle that has been having a gang buster... Full article...

Granted, I was in West Los Angeles, where the creeks burble with Bollinger and raccoons wear rhinestone collars. Nonetheless, for most buyers in the compact luxury sport-utility segment, my little excursion on a home construction site might as well have been crossing the Gobi. You know these vehicles. Indeed, you cannot swing a rhinestone-wearing raccoon on the Westside without... Full article...

Sure, there may be cooler cars, faster SUVs and much more stylish vehicles, but a minivan gets the job done like no other. And the king of Michigan minivans is the 2009 Chrysler Town and Country -- it's an anointment by default since Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. dumped their minivan business. A Town and Country makes any trip into Michigan's hinterlands easier because it basically becomes a giant cargo hauler. It's the Pods of vehicles. The Stow... Full article...

But sure enough, sitting in a parking lot full of 2010 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport models was a white Corvette with 1,500,000 written across the top of its windshield. The once-in-a-lifetime machine will spend its days at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., not far from the assembly plant that puts it together. But on Wednesday, this beautiful ride was parked in Milford and Chevrolet officials said I could take this convertible for a... Full article...
