It has been shown both in New-York and Chicago. For several years different American auto makers were thinking of a vehicle which could satisfy plumbers, caterers and other little business owners who have to carry a lot of stuff with them every day. Transit Connect is the idea with which Ford came up. It has low floor and is 6,8 feet tall. This will give an owner plenty of room to carry tools or... Full article...

The truth of the matter is Americans may already have a Chinese engine under the bonnet of their car because GM has been selling its Chevrolet Equinox with a powerplant sourced from across the Pacific. This is the first instance of a Chinese engine in an American car... Full article...

The Beach Boys sang, "nothing can touch my 409," about a powerful Chevy V-8. Oldsmobile owners in 1981 were so angered that their cars had been fitted with Chevrolet engines instead of Oldsmobile "Rockets," the subject of another hit song, that they successfully sued GM over the swap. The company has since eliminated brand distinctions between engines, saddling them with names unlikely to inspire songwriters, like... Full article...

The 1971 movie Vanishing Point served as a classic for Mopar faithful, as the film centers around a troubled car delivery guy trying to get a supercharged 1970 Challenger from Colorado to San Fransisco in 15 hours while the fuzz is on his tail. With an... Full article...

Well, it's actually a thousand dollars less than that. Why? Because Chrysler is offering that much as an incentive to folks who plunk down the balance on a 2009 Dodge Journey. On the This Is Not Good side, it's the first 2009 model of the year to put money on the hood, and frankly, it just never looks good when the manufacturer offers cash to entice buyers. On the This Is Really Not Bad side, has anyone had a look at the things folks in Journey's... Full article...

A lot of things could happen in the next 12 months and the Camaro we get in 2009 may not share much with the concept version first revealed in 2006. Fortunately, these new spy shots show that designers have kept most of the lines of the original concept but what’s... Full article...
