European mass car manufacturers like Renault and Peugeot-Citroen of France have piled up huge losses and relied on cheap government loans and subsidized car scrapping schemes to keep their heads above water. GM Europe's Opel-Vauxhall's problems have been well aired. Ford Europe has performed... Full article...

"The parking garage defines our built world; our embrace of the car culture; and the price we've paid for that love affair," said Shannon Sanders McDonald, author of "The Parking Garage: Design and Evolution." McDonald's book is the inspiration for a National Building Museum exhibit, "House of Cars," which opened last month and has drawn... Full article...

I say this not because CEO Sergio Marchionne doesn't have a track record of turning around businesses, because he does. Nor because the men and women of Chrysler can't deliver the upgraded cars and trucks promised at Wednesday's marathon confab. They can. Time is not on Chrysler's side because the clock clearly favors crosstown rivals Ford Motor Co. and, yes, General Motors Co. -- both of which have killer products in showrooms, right now, that deliver on...

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour looks much better than any camera can capture. Even Honda executives can't explain why this all-new crossover, arriving at dealerships now, is so un-photogenic. Whether digital or old-school 35 mm, images just don't accurately represent this truck/wagon-esque vehicle built on the popular Honda Accord platform. In person, the Accord Crosstour looks downright stylish. It's the second most stylish vehicle in Honda's lineup, next to the S2000... Full article...

Ford Motor Co.'s Alan Mulally never wears a suit. A sport coat and tie, but not a suit. Not even when he's meeting the president. General Motors Co.'s Fritz Henderson is almost always in a suit. He's a financial guy. Chrysler Group LLC's new CEO Sergio Marchionne is a sweater and slacks guy, which held true Wednesday when he and his team unveiled the company's business plan here to analysts, media and the world.

By 2012, Chrysler will have overhauled or replaced its entire lineup. Good luck. Right now, Chrysler is dangling off a cliff.

That car that grandma only drove to church on Sunday with low miles and all the extras that you got and now want to use to get something a bit more hip? Chances are you'll be offered far below the book value from a dealer. Sell it on your own instead.
