We can’t tell you for sure if the things are for real or not, but we will let you be the judge of that! It all started with the Kia KEE_wii, a concept that incorporates a new, dynamic and more involving drive system, called Dynamic On-Road Kinetics.And then it was the Smart Two tuning kit by RENNTECH. It is powered by two 2 1000cc, 3 cyl. Smart engines, each mated to its own 5-speed, automated transmission. The end result is a... Full article...

The reason it isn't as bad as some will tell you is because most outlets compare the volume of cars sold last month to the same month in 2007, rather than comparing the average number of cars sold per day. Since there were two extra selling days last year 28 vs. 26, looking at the raw numbers is very misleading. All of our numbers below represent the change... Full article...

So is what is construed as "just-folks" normalcy. Both conditions are heralded only by people who don't have access to lots of money. In a word, Paris Hilton is right. It is better to be rich, even if you are not much of anything else. Money at least gives you the opportunity to try to become something better. The theory is crass. But it is nonetheless true, as evidenced by anyone confronted with a choice between driving an economy car or a 2008 Mercedes-Benz... Full article...
