It's my informal survey of the current automotive market. I've sat outside of LAX and observed all the vehicles dropping off loved ones -- not a GM, Ford or Chrysler in the bunch. Same goes in Miami and New York City. Foreign cars rule. So imagine my surprise when I pulled behind a 2009 Cadillac Escalade hybrid while driving around Los Angeles. It was big and black and intimidating from the seat of a midsize sedan. As I drove... Full article...

That was then, and this is now, and now -- as most everyone knows -- is the most desperate moment in the history of American... Full article...

The manufacturer plans to keep Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC, but Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Hummer are going to leave the company.

And it doesn't matter whether you're looking for the best or the worst vehicles on the show floor. The biggest showstopper is the Cadillac Converj -- spelling aside, this concept car was hands down the best in show. It's the kind of car you want to go back and check out again. And you should.
