The redesigned large sedan is top notch, a car fit for a king, or at least an emperor. People should line up at Buick dealerships in droves to order the new LaCrosse, which arrives this month. It's well-priced, sharp-looking and comes with a stellar interior, perhaps the best inside makeover General Motors Co. has ever completed. But they won't. When Buick tested the new LaCrosse against the competition, vehicles such as the... Full article...

The privately funded Automotive Stimulus Plan, which involves about 40 dealers from across the country, is designed to help fill in the gaps left by the government's program, said Brian Benstock of Paragon Auto Group in New York City.

Nissan Motor Co.'s environmentally friendly automobile -- a blue hatchback with a sporty design and a recharging opening in the front -- is set to go on sale in Japan, the U.S. and Europe next year.

During these years he has done a great job: led the company from being a bankruptcy candidate to the status of the world’s most profitable automaker. Until the economic crisis Porsche was on top of success. Lately Wiedeking has been accused to leading the company to a huge debt of more than $12.7 billion in attempt to avoid the merge with Volkswagen. Porsche CEO has been fighting fiercely against the united companies. Wiedeking was raising funds... Full article...

The Yokohama Tire Corp. has a new tech transfer ready to roll -- tires made by using the oil from orange peels to replace much of the petroleum-based oil that goes into tire production. Officially, Yokohama's new tire is the dB Super E-spec, which the Japanese rubber company calls "the... Full article...

Whether by bad luck, bad design or the stars just stop aligning; every good and bad thing passes. But that doesn't mean it can't come back: Cinderella may have cleaned a lot of fireplaces, but even she got hitched. The Ford Taurus arrived three decades ago with a youthful vigor that would propel it to become the No. 1 sedan in America. It was a winner, a juggernaut, the San Francisco 49ers of the '80s with Joe Montana in the driver's seat. But Montana split for the Kansas City... Full article...

But for the most part, the only function it serves is to keep stuff from sliding out the back of your truck's bed. But a truck tailgate can provide a handy place to store tools, jumper cables, even file folders and a change of clothes when it's equipped with a GateMate. The GateMate is made from heavy-duty, high-impact acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ABS plastic. It attaches to the... Full article...

But Freeman himself worships at the church of the electric car. In November 2008, Freeman was one of nearly 2,000 people who signed up to lease a Mini E -- an experimental electric-vehicle conversion of BMW's charming, capering retro-runabout. In early June, he was one of the lucky 450 Americans to get a car, and since then he's been ripping up... Full article...

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.
