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. Anybody could buy them, as long as they had the money. The global car industry is on... Full article...

U.S. tax laws allow companies to defer the tax benefits of operating losses, capital losses and tax credits to offset future profits. However, those benefits go away if there is a substantial change in a company's ownership. The move does not affect most shareholders. The rules were established to keep profitable companies from buying out unprofitable firms solely to take advantage of their tax... Full article...

He just wants to be noticed. When you're the biggest, baddest Lacertilia on the block, people should run away screaming in fear. That's how most people react to monsters. But in Detroit, if it doesn't wear a bow tie, blue oval or come with a cross-haired grille, people just don't seem to take interest. When Nissan Motor Co. called to tell me there was a spare 2010 Nissan GT-R sitting around and wondered if I could squeeze... Full article...

In the shadow of the successful Renault-Nissan Alliance, France's other major carmaker, PSA Peugeot Citron, and Japan's Mitsubishi Motors Corp. have become well-acquainted after working together on small ventures. Paris-based Peugeot and Mitsubishi have developed SUVs jointly for the European market, they are planning to build vehicles together in Russia, and they are teaming up on electric cars. On Friday, the chief executives of the... Full article...

Ron Bloom will assume the title of senior counselor for manufacturing policy, in addition to his role as senior adviser on the President's Task Force on the Automotive Industry. Obama said in a statement Sunday that the manufacturing sector expanded in August for the first time in 18 months and had the highest monthly output in two years. "It's a sign that... Full article...

Last month the annualized U.S. sales rate topped 13 million units, as buyers flocked to showrooms to take advantage of up to $4,500 in discounts under the program. That sales rate looks pretty impressive considering it had dipped to below 10 million earlier this year. The problem is that the auto industry had... Full article...

Facing a fuel shortage brought on by the Suez Crisis of 1956, British Motor Corporation designed the minuscule motorcar to compete with an adorable array of wheels from Germany known as "bubble cars." It's not hard to figure out how they got their nicknames. The bubble cars, particularly the Peel Trident, generally resembled soap bubbles affixed to go-kart chassis. According... Full article...

Not everyone will care for a $300,000, 12-cylinder, open-top super car that looks like love feels and sounds like whiskey tastes. But if you are one of these people -- these nugatory finger-waggers, these buzz-killing harpies of righteous socialism -- please, sit next to someone else at dinner. I will stick a fork in your eye. Yes, of course it's a car for rich jackasses, preening showoffs and enviro-criminals. Really, what part of Aston... Full article...

Why not browse the stock of a used car lot? Southern Motors in Clarkston is no ordinary used car lot. You won't find a plaid-suited, slick-talking sales person in the place. Pontiac classic car showroomThe 9,000-square-foot showroom typically holds 35-40 classic cars, muscle cars, and hot rods. Among the vehicles on display now is a totally trick blue-over-white 1956 Chevy Bel Air with a price tag of $29,900. There's also a clean 1972... Full article...
