And musicians had few outlets other than radio, the stage and album covers to burnish their brand. For many fans, it was rare to see an actor or musician personalized -- at home or behind the wheel. In 1968, Janis Joplin bought a late model Porsche 356c Cabriolet and ordered a dramatic psychedelic custom paint job with moons, Capricorns, butterflies... Full article...

The Japanese carmaker will begin negotiating with the "Old GM" starting next week, Kyodo News reported, citing unnamed company officials.

Starting at the small end of the scale but punching well above its weight is the Kia Soul. This Korean newcomer steps into a sub-compact class already populated by several strong contenders, notably the Scion xB and the Nissan Cube. But in a category where cereal box-styling seems to dominate, the Soul manages to carve its niche with a design that looks practical and sporty at the... Full article...

Volvo Car UK believes that the principle of hybrid cars being exempt from the Congestion Charge is now outdated and unfair. Drivers of hybrid cars enter the zone free of charge on a daily basis while drivers of low emission cars powered by conventional internal combustion engines with the same, or even lower, levels of emissions are charged £8.00...

But the chief executive of Fiat SpA is in fact an inexhaustible, demanding and effective corporate boss with a string of turnarounds to his credit. Now, as Fiat prepares to take a stake in Chrysler LLC and seeks to acquire General Motors Corp.'s European and Latin American operations, Marchionne, 56, is embarking on the biggest challenge of his career. While some... Full article...

The consonant quality of this car, from the moment you turn the key to the moment you gratefully leave it in the chiropractor's parking lot, is a wanton and cheerful disregard for finesse and delicacy. This is exactly right. You have to understand, after four... Full article...

It will ride on GM's new Delta II platform that underpins the highly anticipated Chevrolet Cruze. Under the hood, powertrain options are expected to mirror that of the Chevy Cruze. In a nod to the green movement, GM could also slot a version of the Chevy Volt's powertrain into the baby Buick. The model could be sold in Europe. Should the new entry-level Buick go into production in Europe, we can expect the Cruze's 2.0-litre diesel engines... Full article...

Still, some people want even more, and John Hennessey hopes to provide it. Hennessey built his reputation as a high-performance car tuner with his version of the Dodge Viper. He's branched out into other makes and models and recently launched his spin on the new Camaro. Tuning cars, said Hennessey, was "a hobby that got out of control" for 15 years. But five...
