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...

Soon after the debut the manufacturer plans to start the production of the model. The E-Class sedan has been a real success this year. After spring debut the company sold more than 40,000 units which made it the global market leader in May.

Journalists pegged the aluminum-bodied sports car built by a famous coachbuilder on a Fiat chassis as a legitimate rival to Ferrari and Maserati. U.S. automakers -- always on the lookout for the next styling hit -- were equally impressed and quickly snapped one up when it became available for sale. It seemed a bargain compared to another sensation introduced at the same time... Full article...

At this time the project is being developed by AMG engineers. The green car is based on the new SLS supercar, so it will hold the same name: SLS eDrive. The presentation of Mercedes-Benz SLS is going to be in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. Its plug-in sibling is not coming because the project is in its primary stage of development. However, it is already announced that the electric SLS is going to have the same... Full article...

Standard on the redesigned 2010 E-class models will be Mercedes' new Attention Assist system, designed to detect drowsiness on the part of the driver in the early stages, before it becomes a real danger, the German automaker said.

The good news is that there are still more car-centric events to enjoy in the five weeks before kids go back to school and the lakes begin to quiet. Of course, the Woodward Dream Cruise is Aug. 15. Don't be surprised to see yellow tape and old motorhomes showing up a week earlier. Many residents who live along the Woodward corridor from Ferndale to Pontiac have already made plans to be...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

That's why we invented Costco. The buy-it-by-the-barrelful mentality perpetuates the American need to gather too much stuff while hunting for a deal. I've gone broke saving money at this mega-volume store. For some, the problem with Costco is the same as the problem with many SUVs: Both offer too much and are just too big for practical purposes. No one tows a boat to work every day, and no one needs 200 frozen chicken breasts. Downsizing is the new... Full article...
