This week, executives from a recomposed auto industry convene in Frankfurt in a cautiously optimistic mood: "The worst is behind us," said Christoph Strmer, an analyst at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight.

Children and grandchildren will one day hear barely believable tales of long extinct, gas guzzling 150 mph beasts like Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Jaguars and Porsches which were on show at the 2009 Frankfurt Car Show. Anybody could buy them, as long as they had the money. The global car industry is on... Full article...

Not everyone will care for a $300,000, 12-cylinder, open-top super car that looks like love feels and sounds like whiskey tastes. But if you are one of these people -- these nugatory finger-waggers, these buzz-killing harpies of righteous socialism -- please, sit next to someone else at dinner. I will stick a fork in your eye. Yes, of course it's a car for rich jackasses, preening showoffs and enviro-criminals. Really, what part of Aston... 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. That's far below their combined 45.3 percent share of 2009 auto sales. The U.S.-based companies said they were hampered by a comparative shortage of small, fuel-efficient vehicles that buyers were...

The main features have much in common with Ferrari Scuderia and Lamborghini Superleggera. The likeness is primarily in the fact that it is made like a nimble version of a production street car. The tuner worked much on the weight of the vehicle: the Aston Martin is covered with carbon fiber. The full light-weight kit is made out of a front bumper with screens, cannards, a front splitter, a hood, wide fenders, side... Full article...
