The California Air Resources Board said Friday that when it issues its final "cool car" regulations, which will require vehicles to reduce the amount of heat entering vehicles starting in the 2012 model year, it will exempt soft-sided plastic windows. "The Cool Cars regulation only applies to rigid windows and will not affect the flexible glazing on vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler," the... Full article...

Imperiled dealers are those with mortgages and capital loans with former captive finance company Chrysler Financial but who need a line of credit from new lender GMAC Financial Services to buy vehicle stock with a wholesale or "floor plan" loan. They have temporary financing but face a mid-November deadline to secure permanent... Full article...

"I left feeling pretty good, and, frankly, I went there pretty down," said CAW President Ken Lewenza, describing Thursday's meeting with Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, which stretched from a scheduled three hours into six and included an impromptu dinner.

"Continued stresses on the automotive supplier base," is the explanation the automaker gave Monday in announcing the 850 affected workers will be recalled in mid-November. The original plan was to increase production starting Oct. 5, adding 10,000 Dodge Caliber compact vehicles to help replenish supplies after the fuel-efficient hatchback proved popular during the "cash for...

Like many dealers across the country, the dealership in Ypsilanti Township is suffering from a Cash for Clunkers hangover, and Sales Manager Paul Grahl isn't sure when it will end. "We're getting some traffic, but my business is a long way from healthy," said the longtime salesman. "We suspect it's going to be 90... Full article...

Last month the annualized U.S. sales rate topped 13 million units, as buyers flocked to showrooms to take advantage of up to $4,500 in discounts under the program. That sales rate looks pretty impressive considering it had dipped to below 10 million earlier this year. The problem is that the auto industry had... Full article...

It could soon be hit with a "quadruple threat," Mayor Jack Kirksey said. That is, the closure of the Livonia Chrysler-Jeep this summer. Follow that next year with the possible closure of two more dealerships -- Tennyson Chevrolet and John Rogin Buick -- and then the planned shutdown of GM's powertrain... Full article...
