Alan Reuther, legislative director for the UAW, said the proposals from General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC violated the automakers' loan agreements with the U.S. Treasury Department, which call for the UAW to accept half of the funding for the health care fund in cash and the other half in company stock. The proposals call for a smaller cash portion. Late Friday, a source... Full article...

But Kent Carl, of Carl Chevrolet in San Jose, Calif., would like to think it's too good of a deal to pass up. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the muscular and loaded V8 with three rows of seats is $39,280. But Carl, the general manager at the dealership, has it priced at $25,988. That's a savings of stacked-up incentives totaling $13,292. "We've had some... Full article...

Daniel Craig didn't even get this car in his first James Bond movie. He was stuck with the hard top. Here's what would happen. You'd drop the top, call your brother in Burbank and go pick him up for 12 hours of cruising. That's 60 minutes for each cylinder. With your phone connected via Bluetooth, you'd call other journalists and casually work in the phrase DB9 as often as possible... Full article...

As proof, try this: Who do you picture climbing down from a jacked-up Dodge Ram pickup? Yep. I see the same guy in a baseball cap with an untucked shirt and about three days worth of beard. Even more than showing personality or social class, your choice of transportation can also reflect your political persuasion. Imagine the political leanings of the driver of a shiny Bentley Silver Spur or a beat-up Chevy/Geo... Full article...

All who saw this Cadillac tank on wheels built by General Motors Corp. had to be impressed. While the people at GM who built this monster are understandably mum about the specifics of its features -- for security reasons very few people were privy to the development of its design -- we do know some of the basics of the car engineered to get the new...
