But a union officer said members were moving ahead with a planned strike authorization vote. Ford spokeswoman Marcey Evans said Saturday that officials from the automaker and United Auto Workers Local 249 reached an agreement late Friday on issues related to the workload at the plant. Union leaders have said problems developed in October when Ford added a third shift, including staggered... Full article...

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...

That car that grandma only drove to church on Sunday with low miles and all the extras that you got and now want to use to get something a bit more hip? Chances are you'll be offered far below the book value from a dealer. Sell it on your own instead. Especially if you've got a Toyota, Honda or Ford, the top brands for reliability, according to the 2009 Annual Car Reliability Survey from Consumer Reports magazine... Full article...

The comparison campaign, scheduled to start in December, is the second phase of a national advertising barrage initiated last month that offers buyers a 60-day, money-back guarantee.

While the last test car had oval, RS-style exhaust outlets, this car is sporting even larger, circular outlets. This is also the first time we've seen vents just behind the rear wheels. We assume that is to help cool what appears to be a carbon-ceramic brake package. On the front, we can see a slightly different splitter and some new aerodynamic winglets on the... Full article...

For the most part, they look like regular cars, drive like regular cars and generally feel like them. But then touch a single button and the three-piece roof folds up smartly into the trunk, and all of sudden everything ordinary becomes better. For those who want it all, hardtop convertibles make it possible. Earlier this year, Infiniti introduced the 2009 G convertible. The word "ordinary" and... Full article...

When the German luxury sport carmaker brought out the Audi Q5 this year, you just knew it was going to be good. This is not just another luxury crossover. It's one with attitude, and once you hop behind the wheel, you'll come to believe that it doesn't know it's a crossover, it thinks it's a car. Technically, there's some truth behind that. The Q5 is built off of the same platform as the Audi A4, so the car-like ride should be expected. But it's the combination of this... Full article...

Some carmakers don't like the idea of hybrids because they have to create two powertrains for a single vehicle. Consumers, however, don't seem to mind. These cars are not the final... Full article...
