The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour looks much better than any camera can capture. Even Honda executives can't explain why this all-new crossover, arriving at dealerships now, is so un-photogenic. Whether digital or old-school 35 mm, images just don't accurately represent this truck/wagon-esque vehicle built on the popular Honda Accord platform. In person, the Accord Crosstour looks downright stylish. It's the second most stylish vehicle in Honda's lineup, next to the S2000... Full article...

Wars, the economy, swine flu. My God, Andrew Lloyd Webber is making a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera." So now comes the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 -- which is the best-in-class compact-hatch Mazda3 stuffed with horsepower foie gras -- and that, oppressed citizens, is an occasion for good cheer. Here's a car with room for four adults and one magical halfling; a car with excellent rear cargo storage and good fuel economy; a car with a sticker price $23,945 base MSRP within... Full article...

Most of his senior-level GM colleagues are asleep when he's working, and they arrive at their offices as he's preparing to go home. Even though Reilly is far away, he is emerging as GM's second most important executive after CEO Fritz Henderson. As the new head of GM's international operations, the British executive runs...

What caught Baker's attention wasn't just the bugs, rodents and other crawly creatures that were being exterminated, but the fact that ISOTECH's pickups were equipped with truck caps produced by A.R.E., the Massillon, Ohio-based company where Baker works as director of marketing. Baker did some checking and learned that 90 percent of ISOTECH's fleet of more than... Full article...

For the better part of 80 years -- and, Lord knows, certainly for the past 15 -- so many of the Germans I knew who worked for Opel wanted nothing more than to slip the yoke of American oppression they so readily blamed for all that ailed their beloved , the yellow...

If so, consider this statement from Drew Hoffman, an automotive aftermarket parts producer: "A horn is your audio statement to the world." Also consider a friend who recently bought a used Mazda Miata. He didn't find the tone of its standard horn as satisfactory as the car's driving dynamics, so he went to the aftermarket. Now, his car sounds just like a Ferrari -- at least from... Full article...

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.

They included the Austin-Healey Sprite, 100 and 3000; Lotus Elan; MG TC, TD, A, B and Midget; Triumph TR and Spitfire, and Sunbeam Alpine and Tiger. All offered top-down exhilaration with a low center of gravity and... Full article... Article added: 2009-08-17 04:19:54 Article Views Rating: 71 |
