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.

Like many dealers across the country, the dealership in Ypsilanti Township is suffering from a Cash for Clunkers hangover, and Sales Manager Paul Grahl isn't sure when it will end. "We're getting some traffic, but my business is a long way from healthy," said the longtime salesman. "We suspect it's going to be 90... Full article...

The next week all the details will be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The luxury car had a predecessor, concept 200EX, but now it is ready to become a production model. The mysterious monster runs on a twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 engine outputting 563-horsepower. The car has rear-wheel drive and is operated trough a ZF eight-speed automatic... Full article...

GM said it was planning to sell 55 percent of Opel to Canada's Magna International Inc. and Sberbank of Russia, the German government's preferred bidders.

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...
