Sergio Marchionne, who took over the helm at Chrysler after it emerged from bankruptcy in June, was speaking at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, but he didn't specify from which company he would drop that title.

The agency declared emissions a public danger under its authority granted by a 2007 Supreme Court decision. The EPA's historic announcement came as United Nations climate change talks begin in Copenhagen, Denmark. The move by the EPA is aimed at prodding Congress into passing a bill to cap and reduce...

Detroit's automakers should be able to meet regulatory changes in part because they have global vehicle platforms that will allow them to offer smaller cars in the United States faster, CSM forecasters said at an Automotive Press...

Aside from the giant pastoral scene on its side, it even looked like a standard-issue New York City garbage truck. But the 36-ton refuse collector that rumbled out of the Department of Sanitation's Central Repair Shop in Queens last month with a reporter on board was equipped with a diesel-electric powertrain, one of just a handful of hybrid garbage trucks being tested around the country. This one was built by Mack Trucks, which is part of... Full article...

However, in the last several years it has been losing its popularity and GM did not see much profit from the brand. About a year ago the manufacturer has announced that it would cut the number of brands in half and attempt to sell some of them. We have been tracing the sales of Saturn/Opel, Hummer and Saab, but the destiny of Pontiac was not clear. It seemed that at some points GM was eager to keep... Full article...

The cost didn't justify the benefit. Why would anyone pay a few thousand dollars for a digital map -- especially when you could buy a high-tech, hand-held system for a few hundred dollars or a paper one for 99 cents? The only benefit to some of those navigation systems the hand-helds didn't offer was a backup camera. And while I like the next gadget, how often would I even use it?
