The California Air Resources Board said Friday that when it issues its final "cool car" regulations, which will require vehicles to reduce the amount of heat entering vehicles starting in the 2012 model year, it will exempt soft-sided plastic windows. "The Cool Cars regulation only applies to rigid windows and will not affect the flexible glazing on vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler," the... Full article...

Imperiled dealers are those with mortgages and capital loans with former captive finance company Chrysler Financial but who need a line of credit from new lender GMAC Financial Services to buy vehicle stock with a wholesale or "floor plan" loan. They have temporary financing but face a mid-November deadline to secure permanent... Full article...

"I left feeling pretty good, and, frankly, I went there pretty down," said CAW President Ken Lewenza, describing Thursday's meeting with Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, which stretched from a scheduled three hours into six and included an impromptu dinner.

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.

It's that dead space between models that other carmakers have filled -- making their offerings look less expensive and, thus, more attractive. The rocket ship $100,000 ZR1 sits atop the mountain, while the fiery $75,000 Z06 remains parked nearby, looking slightly agitated.
