Jay Leno, the comedian and talk-show host, was among the selective crowd at the Bonhams & Butterfields sale in Carmel that had been forecast by the organizers to make as much as $35 million. Last year's event totaled $21 million. The Auto Union racing car had been expected to make the most... Full article...

I own a piece of it, too. As a consumer, I want GM to build competitive vehicles: It raises everyone's game. As an employee in Detroit, I want GM to stay around: No one wants to eat at Lafayette Coney Island alone. Thank goodness Chevrolet introduced the 2010 Equinox. This compact crossover has "comeback" written all over it. Well priced, fuel efficient and nicely appointed, the Equinox sets a new benchmark for every automaker. It's high tech and...

According to a University of Michigan survey, people who purchased vehicles from the automakers are happier with their cars and trucks than a year ago, as domestic vehicles close the satisfaction gap with their imported competitors. The improvements in satisfaction come from Detroit's most-disgruntled customers giving up on the domestic automakers, leaving a core of buyers who appreciate their recent... Full article...

It was a sensation when it appeared in 1990 as the embodiment of the traditional open two-seater, dominated for generations by roadsters and convertibles from Great Britain. 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...

It's a shame really. The redesigned large sedan is top notch, a car fit for a king, or at least an emperor. People should line up at Buick dealerships in droves to order the new LaCrosse, which arrives this month. It's well-priced, sharp-looking and comes with a stellar interior, perhaps the best inside makeover General Motors Co. has ever completed. But they won't. When Buick tested the new LaCrosse against the competition, vehicles such as the... Full article...

Now, I just think it's OK. I should have driven the XFR before I started talking about performance. This car bolts like lightening while keeping the same luxurious demeanor as its sibling that lacks an R at the end of its name. The power numbers alone are impressive: 5-liter supercharged V-8, 510 horsepower, 461 pound-feet of torque -- more than a 20 percent jump in power over the 4.2-liter... 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...
