Roll out the rally cars, billion-horsepower engines and every conceivable electronic device -- and some you couldn't imagine -- replica rattlesnake seat covers, bamboo floor mats and more rims than a junkyard and you'll begin to picture SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show. Anything and everything that can be affixed, attached, screwed on or bolted down to a car or truck is on display at the private show, which begins Tuesday and... Full article...

It is opening tomorrow, on September, 15. This is not only the major German exhibition, but the largest one worldwide, so all automakers are working for the best presentations at the show. It is obvious than all German manufacturers will present their best models there. Some great debuts will take place tomorrow: the production versions of Audi R8 convertible, BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Mini... Full article...

This week, executives from a recomposed auto industry convene in Frankfurt in a cautiously optimistic mood: "The worst is behind us," said Christoph Strmer, an analyst at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight. Now, he said, "the feeling is, we've passed it, we've survived it, we're still in business." Still, industry executives and analysts remain apprehensive... Full article...

They will come away saying we might never see the likes of that again. Children and grandchildren will one day hear barely believable tales of long extinct, gas guzzling 150 mph beasts like Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Jaguars and Porsches which were on show at the 2009 Frankfurt Car Show. Anybody could buy them, as long as they had the money. The global car industry is on... Full article...

Power-wise, the Optima will use the same engine as the 2011 Sonata, which will be offered in 4- and 6-cylinder versions, and -- rumor has it -- will follow the Sonata with a hybrid option.

But the rules may give some automakers a competitive advantage. The regulation is expected to mirror a California provision that gives less-stringent tailpipe emissions requirements to automakers with annual U.S. sales of no more than 400,000 vehicles, mainly German and Asian manufacturers. Reducing emissions is best... Full article...

In the shadow of the successful Renault-Nissan Alliance, France's other major carmaker, PSA Peugeot Citron, and Japan's Mitsubishi Motors Corp. have become well-acquainted after working together on small ventures. Paris-based Peugeot and Mitsubishi have developed SUVs jointly for the European market, they are planning to build vehicles together in Russia, and they are teaming up on electric cars. On Friday, the chief executives of the... 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. But in a category where cereal box-styling seems to dominate, the Soul manages to carve its niche with a design that looks practical and sporty at the... Full article...

Before I could muster an answer to my 17-year-old daughter's question, she spotted a new Ford Mustang. "That's a cool car, too," she said, as I drove her to school one morning. There followed a brief and poorly received lecture from me on why a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports model is probably not the best choice for a teenager's first car. Further efforts to ascertain what makes the Mustang and Camaro "cool" in a 17-year-old's opinion did not reveal much. But the... Full article...

And aside from all-wheel drive and direct fuel injection and turbocharging and fine styling, Audi is also good at building lots of luxury and refinement into its compact sedans and wagons.That brings us to the all-new 2009 Audi A4.
