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...

The Auburn Hills automaker, whose U.S. sales have fallen 39 percent this year, has been particularly stung by poor quality and consumers leaving for other brands. Chrysler executives are quick to admit to their struggles and... 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...

I should probably recuse myself from even writing about the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI V-10 because I love this car. I will not be fair and balanced or even objective because life behind the wheel of the R8 5.2 FSI is one viewed through a rose-colored windshield. I am the Fox News of car reviews today for conservative drivers and MSNBC for those who lean so far left they're actually facing backwards. Oh, there are probably a few bad things that could be said... Full article...

Laurie, Mark and Lisa -- the other members of Burgess Generation 5.0 -- remind me of this often. And I wouldn't have it any other way. General Motors Co., however, has had problems with family relationships in the past. Some of its cars and trucks shared a little too much in common, as if the gene pool was a half dozen chromosomes short of a double helix. Some called it cloning. Carmakers called it rebadging, and...

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...

Charles Noski, a member of Microsoft Corp.'s board of directors, has the mix of financial acumen and executive experience that could also be essential if the GM board eventually replaces President and CEO Fritz Henderson, a source said.
