That's nothing new to Detroit. We've been chewing this entree for years, and we find little solace that the rest of the country finally gets a seat at our table. At least we have a country song written about us. There's always a silver lining -- even if it's a tarnished silver plated one. Optimism, you see, is free. The 2009 Nissan Maxima makes me optimistic. Finally, a big sedan undergoes a redesign and comes out smaller. Nissan chopped off nearly 4 inches in... Full article...

The industry expects consumer interest in small premium crossovers to grow and consequently the number of entries in the sector is expanding dramatically. The upscale small sport utility vehicle format was successfully established several years ago by Lexus with the RX300, and since then a few primary rivals have emerged, such as the Acura MDX, Infiniti EX35 and BMW X3. But this year a... Full article...

Minivans that leapfrogged the competition. Outrageously powerful Cadillac concepts as lavish as a rock opera. Luxury sport sedans that came to life as living art on the walls. Most of what you see on the Cobo Center floor at the North American International Auto Show this week was designed and engineered -- "locked in," as they say -- well before the current meltdown in industry sales. Will 2010 be even thinner?But if the show seems a little thin and aired out -- no Porsche... Full article...

That's a fair characterization of the 2009 Mazda6. It has arrived as a worthy competitor to the leaders among mid-size sedans -- the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord -- as well as contenders like the Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Malibu, Volkswagen Passat and Ford Fusion, and some luxury cars as well. That's not to say the 6 wasn't a decent car before. But it was smaller and more of a sports sedan than... Full article...
