He said he expects the current $1 billion pool to be exhausted by the end of this weekend. The House approved an additional $2 billion on Friday and the administration is pressing the Senate to go along before its summer vacation begins at week's end.

Ford Motor Co. will report its first monthly year-over-year sales gain in nearly two years today, thanks to a much-needed push from the program, company officials said Sunday. The Dearborn automaker would not provide specific figures until today. The $1 billion federal program to retire less efficient vehicles is all but out... Full article...

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...

Journalists pegged the aluminum-bodied sports car built by a famous coachbuilder on a Fiat chassis as a legitimate rival to Ferrari and Maserati. U.S. automakers -- always on the lookout for the next styling hit -- were equally impressed and quickly snapped one up when it became available for sale. It seemed a bargain compared to another sensation introduced at the same time... Full article...

At least that's the plan for this midsize premium sedan. Putting a hundred miles on this car was easy. It's comfortable, quiet and gives you a spirited ride. The bulletproof 3.5-liter V-6 pushes 263 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. It doesn't feel like a rocket, but it improves the car's overall performance and the 0-60 mph time by a half second down to 7.1... Full article...

From there the cars would be exported to the North American auto market. It sounds weird that the American autos will be made in China for American customers. Ford said that there is no truth in this information. The company’s representative confirmed again the facts which have been announced before: the 2011 Fiesta for North America will be assembled at the plant in... Full article...

The program gives buyers of new, more fuel-efficient vehicles up to $4,500 in government rebates to turn in cars and trucks up to 25 years old that in most instances get less than a combined highway/city fuel efficiency of 18 miles per gallon.

The Dearborn automaker had reached an agreement earlier this year that allowed it to make half of its payments to the voluntary employees' beneficiary association, or VEBA, in stock, but that deal set the price at around $2 a share.
