Starting Monday, more than 600 people will descend on the MotorCity Casino in Detroit for a three-day conference dedicated to the making, marketing and deployment of plug-in electric vehicles. The inaugural event, called "The Business of Plugging In," brings together leaders from the automotive and utility industries, as well as researchers, policymakers... Full article...

We buy more of them than any other kind of car. Last year, more than 3 million midsize cars were sold, outselling every segment except crossovers -- but that's probably because no one really knows what a crossover is. And out of all of the midsize cars sold, five nameplates made up nearly half of them. Thirty-seven other models made up the rest. See, there are more than a few alternatives to the popular choices. Take the 2010 Subaru Legacy as just one example. Few other... Full article...

Testing is under way, and we've spied this very production-looking prototype cruising the rural roads of Michigan. Compared to the prototypes we saw last year, the new one has a very finished look, right down to the two massive center-mount exhaust outlets; larger, sportier wheels; and V-series badging. We can also see that this new prototype is not sporting cross-drilled... Full article...

Entering its second model year, the Flex is Ford's answer to people who need a big people hauler. It stretches more than 200 inches and can carry up to seven people, depending upon how it's configured. Though I would suggest selecting the captain's chairs for the second row because they are so comfortable. For the vehicles it replaces -- the minivan and Taurus X the crossover formerly known as the Freestyle -- the Flex offers a much more stylish solution. But... Full article...

They think they are better than us. And really, they are. Even their name has an acceptable amount of arrogance in it. Aston Martin. You can hear the lilt, the long draw on the A and crisp T. Aston Martin. For one day, I got a chance to try out three of the 2010 models -- the DBS, the DB9 and the V-8 Vantage -- totaling $625,350 worth of cars. If somebody is going to drive nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in cars, I figured I should... Full article...

"I think we're going to have a different recovery shape in Western Europe, central Europe and Eastern Europe," said Wayne Brannon, head of General Motors Co.'s Chevrolet brand in Europe. "A lot of people are telling me that Western Europe is turning the corner. I expect we'll have solid U-shaped growth." Many other... Full article...

The courtship allows you to look over any flaws, the honeymoon makes you forget about them, and only on the commute to work do you undergo a David Byrne epiphany: This is not my beautiful car. No wonder the divorce rate in America hovers around 6,000 percent. But such a regret would never enter your mind behind the wheel of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, the logical European-inspired version of the stellar CTS sedan. It's so much fun you almost forget the... Full article...

Marchionne, who spoke briefly with reporters during a tour of the Frankfurt Motor Show, did not elaborate. Asked about Fiat's goal to create a group with sales of between 5 million and 6 million vehicles, Marchionne said that could be achieved with Chrysler once the economy and car markets stabilize Fiat owns 20 percent of Chrysler...

Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, on Monday sent letters to GM President and CEO Fritz Henderson and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne urging them to reach a deal on the dealership issue "at the negotiating table."

With a coupe-like roofline, the all new S60 will add sex appeal to the once boxy and somewhat boring Volvo lineup. The S60 will eventually be offered with a high-efficiency gasoline turbocharged direct-injection 1.6-liter engine mated to a twin-clutch transmission -- with an estimated-combined 47 miles per...
