A few years ago, when SUV sales fell through the floor, Land Rover seemed immune. Even during this tight economy, as car sales have plummeted, Land Rover, a luxury SUV maker, reported a 6.6 percent increase in sales for October. Oh, it's taken its bumps and bruises along the trail -- as has every truck maker in recent history. But every day, another person falls under Land Rover's spell of crossing the Sahara to attend a Hollywood premiere. The 2010 Range Rover... Full article...

Stylish and clean, they're the darling of the renewable-energy crowd, which is hailing the scheduled roll-out of several e-powered models next year as a major blow against global warming. Well, Eduardo Leao, for one. He's executive director of Brazil's largest sugar-industry association, called UNICA, and he insists that cane-based ethanol produced in massive quantities by his members is a better alternative fuel for the environment than...

Not everyone will care for a $300,000, 12-cylinder, open-top super car that looks like love feels and sounds like whiskey tastes. But if you are one of these people -- these nugatory finger-waggers, these buzz-killing harpies of righteous socialism -- please, sit next to someone else at dinner. I will stick a fork in your eye. Yes, of course it's a car for rich jackasses, preening showoffs and enviro-criminals. Really, what part of Aston... Full article...

Granted, I was in West Los Angeles, where the creeks burble with Bollinger and raccoons wear rhinestone collars. Nonetheless, for most buyers in the compact luxury sport-utility segment, my little excursion on a home construction site might as well have been crossing the Gobi. You know these vehicles. Indeed, you cannot swing a rhinestone-wearing raccoon on the Westside without... Full article...

Sure, there may be cooler cars, faster SUVs and much more stylish vehicles, but a minivan gets the job done like no other. And the king of Michigan minivans is the 2009 Chrysler Town and Country -- it's an anointment by default since Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. dumped their minivan business. A Town and Country makes any trip into Michigan's hinterlands easier because it basically becomes a giant cargo hauler. It's the Pods of vehicles. The Stow... Full article...

Turns out, they will, and they are. "We used the same thinking we did when we developed the Bentley-look grille for the Chrysler 300," said Tommy Gaut, general manager of Strut, which produces automotive jewelry, especially for very high-end vehicles such...

People know it's there; they talk about it, but no one wants to make the drive. It's a mysterious land that magically produces funky furniture IKEA, cell phones Ericsson and freakishly beautiful people Ingrid Bergman. Since the Miss Universe pageant began more than 50 years ago, no European country has had more winners than Sweden. Did I mention my wife is Swedish?
