Bob Kruse, General Motors executive director of global vehicle engineering for hybrids, electric vehicles and batteries, does not want to work for the big auto company and prefers to run his own business. Mr. Kruse has resigned and started E.V. Consulting LLC, his... Full article...

Saab is looking to invest $2.2 million over five years to relocate mostly sales and marketing employees from the Renaissance Center to an industrial building at 4327 Delemere Court between 14 Mile and Normandy. The company, which did not specify how many employees would move, also is eyeing a site in Connecticut. Snagging Saab would be a coup for Southeast Michigan... Full article...

With the rage over going green hitting the marketplace, auto companies are looking for ways to make their vehicles more sustainable, not just under the hood but behind the wheel. They're incorporating more recycled materials into interiors, upholstery and moldings, and partnering with suppliers to develop new bio-based products to... Full article...

The California Air Resources Board said Friday that when it issues its final "cool car" regulations, which will require vehicles to reduce the amount of heat entering vehicles starting in the 2012 model year, it will exempt soft-sided plastic windows. "The Cool Cars regulation only applies to rigid windows and will not affect the flexible glazing on vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler," the... Full article...

They think they are better than us. And really, they are. Even their name has an acceptable amount of arrogance in it. Aston Martin. You can hear the lilt, the long draw on the A and crisp T. Aston Martin. For one day, I got a chance to try out three of the 2010 models -- the DBS, the DB9 and the V-8 Vantage -- totaling $625,350 worth of cars. If somebody is going to drive nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in cars, I figured I should... Full article...

Imperiled dealers are those with mortgages and capital loans with former captive finance company Chrysler Financial but who need a line of credit from new lender GMAC Financial Services to buy vehicle stock with a wholesale or "floor plan" loan. They have temporary financing but face a mid-November deadline to secure permanent... Full article...

The mayor's staffers say the decision to lease the SUV with heated-leather seats, a Bose stereo system and satellite radio is out of his hands because Police Department officials say they need it to do their job. "It is the Police Department's decision. This is their requirement," said Karen Dumas, the mayor's... Full article...

We buy more of them than any other kind of car. Last year, more than 3 million midsize cars were sold, outselling every segment except crossovers -- but that's probably because no one really knows what a crossover is. And out of all of the midsize cars sold, five nameplates made up nearly half of them. Thirty-seven other models made up the rest. See, there are more than a few alternatives to the popular choices. Take the 2010 Subaru Legacy as just one example. Few other... Full article...

Testing is under way, and we've spied this very production-looking prototype cruising the rural roads of Michigan. Compared to the prototypes we saw last year, the new one has a very finished look, right down to the two massive center-mount exhaust outlets; larger, sportier wheels; and V-series badging. We can also see that this new prototype is not sporting cross-drilled... Full article...

Oddly, it doesn't involve a Porsche 911 and an autobahn. Nor an Audi TT on the Pacific Coast Highway. Not even -- in what will come as a shock to many who know my "Mad Men" fixation -- Don Draper and a 1963 Cadillac Eldorado. No, I daydream about downshifting off Ford Road and wheeling my own 1997 Escort to the apex of the crescent-shaped drive at Ford Motor Co.'s Dearborn headquarters, eagerly awaited by a huddle of senior managers and designers.
