Pull the plug on the novelty foot-well lighting and cut down on cup holders. Keep your heated seats. Just don't take my satellite radio away. I am the reverse of what marketers call an 'early adopter,' but a few years ago I ordered $129 worth of clearance satellite radio equipment from a mail-order catalogue. The big brown box arrived on my doorstep two days later and a love affair commenced. Actually, since I decided to install it myself rather... Full article...

I should probably recuse myself from even writing about the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI V-10 because I love this car. I will not be fair and balanced or even objective because life behind the wheel of the R8 5.2 FSI is one viewed through a rose-colored windshield. I am the Fox News of car reviews today for conservative drivers and MSNBC for those who lean so far left they're actually facing backwards. Oh, there are probably a few bad things that could be said... Full article...

A few years ago, when SUV sales fell through the floor, Land Rover seemed immune. Even during this tight economy, as car sales have plummeted, Land Rover, a luxury SUV maker, reported a 6.6 percent increase in sales for October. Oh, it's taken its bumps and bruises along the trail -- as has every truck maker in recent history. But every day, another person falls under Land Rover's spell of crossing the Sahara to attend a Hollywood premiere. The 2010 Range Rover... Full article...

Laurie, Mark and Lisa -- the other members of Burgess Generation 5.0 -- remind me of this often. And I wouldn't have it any other way. General Motors Co., however, has had problems with family relationships in the past. Some of its cars and trucks shared a little too much in common, as if the gene pool was a half dozen chromosomes short of a double helix. Some called it cloning. Carmakers called it rebadging, and...

The 47-year-old biomedical engineer has spent nearly half of his 21-year career at Ford working on the first-ever system, which will debut on the new Ford Explorer next year and promises to provide unprecedented protection for back seat passengers -- particularly for children and the...

The plan, unveiled Wednesday during an eight-hour session in Auburn Hills, may be a fair representation of what Chrysler needs to do to thrive and repay its loans, but some of the benchmarks, such as the projection of a 4 percent market share increase, are stopping many cold. "Is the plan outlandish or merely wildly ambitious?" said analyst Michelle Krebs of Edmunds.com, who described the overall... Full article... Article added: 2009-11-07 12:21:57 Article Views Rating: 71 Main > Car Makers News > Chrysler > Chrysler is in a race that already started | detnews.com | The Detroit News Time is not on the side of Chrysler Group LLC. I say this not because CEO Sergio Marchionne doesn't have a track record of turning around businesses, because he does. Nor because the men and women of Chrysler can't deliver the upgraded cars and trucks promised at Wednesday's marathon confab. They can. Time is not on Chrysler's side because the clock clearly favors crosstown rivals Ford Motor Co. and, yes, General Motors Co. -- both of which have killer products in showrooms, right now, that deliver on...

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour looks much better than any camera can capture. Even Honda executives can't explain why this all-new crossover, arriving at dealerships now, is so un-photogenic. Whether digital or old-school 35 mm, images just don't accurately represent this truck/wagon-esque vehicle built on the popular Honda Accord platform. In person, the Accord Crosstour looks downright stylish. It's the second most stylish vehicle in Honda's lineup, next to the S2000... Full article...

Wars, the economy, swine flu. My God, Andrew Lloyd Webber is making a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera." So now comes the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 -- which is the best-in-class compact-hatch Mazda3 stuffed with horsepower foie gras -- and that, oppressed citizens, is an occasion for good cheer. Here's a car with room for four adults and one magical halfling; a car with excellent rear cargo storage and good fuel economy; a car with a sticker price $23,945 base MSRP within... Full article...

Charles Noski, a member of Microsoft Corp.'s board of directors, has the mix of financial acumen and executive experience that could also be essential if the GM board eventually replaces President and CEO Fritz Henderson, a source said. Noski was AT&T's senior executive vice president and chief financial officer... Full article... Article added: 2009-11-07 12:21:51 Article Views Rating: 72 |
