Amid these gloomy times, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association put on a solid event that demonstrated, among other things, that Detroit may be down, but we're a long way from being out. There were cars and trucks on display that anybody would be proud to drive -- from the Chevy Camaro pony car to the super-efficient Ford Fusion Hybrid. A major trend of the show was the greening of our cars and trucks, and technology is taking the... Full article...

Ford said it will have battery-powered vans in 2010 and an electric Ford Focus-size sedan in 2011. Mercedes Smart already has a battery-powered little city runabout. BMW's electric Mini, being evaluated on the road by prospective customers mainly in California, is said to achieve 150... Full article...

Italy's Fiat SpA could take a big stake in the Auburn Hills automaker in exchange for providing small-car platforms and engines under discussions taking place. Such a deal would allow cash-strapped Chrysler to quickly add small vehicles to its lineup and at little cost, while providing Fiat with an inexpensive ticket back into the U.S. auto market, people familiar with the situation said. They said the talks are at an advanced stage, with... Full article...

Most analysts say it boils down to two factors: confidence and credit. Both are equally important. Consumers need to feel confident about buying a car or truck, a purchase that for most is second only to a home. That confidence should stem from a general sense that the economy is recovering, or at least on the path to recovery, and from a belief... Full article...

And it doesn't matter whether you're looking for the best or the worst vehicles on the show floor. The biggest showstopper is the Cadillac Converj -- spelling aside, this concept car was hands down the best in show. It's the kind of car you want to go back and check out again. And you should. This car is an LED screamer on wheels. It's designers gone wild without the morning-after hangover. With solar panels on its glass roof... Full article...

Auto executives on Monday said they were pinning their hopes on President-elect Barack Obama's plan to introduce a massive stimulus package to revive the flagging economy and encourage consumers to start spending. Last year, U.S. car and light truck sales plunged 18 percent to 13.24 million vehicles as... Full article...

It sure is easy to pick the bad cars or trucks, they are the obvious ones in the market. But what about the BEST or MOST SIGNIFICANT car or truck introduced in 2008. No, I am not talking car of the year or any of that, but rather just a list of cars and/or trucks that came to market strong in 2008 ready and willing to capture the hearts and wallets of Americans.Although several of you listed the BMW X6 on the "worst" list, I would say this SUV SAV came to market strong with...

The decline came as the total number of recall campaigns jumped more than 9 percent to a record 642 from 588 in 2007, and those linked to investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rose to a record 233, up from 98 in 2007.

It's a Mustang with a sticker price of $79,995. Ford only made 1,000 of them in 2008 and dealers have asked much more than the suggested retail price. But my fear did not stem from the car's price. I've driven more expensive vehicles and less practical ones. Really, the GT500KR didn't frighten me when I got inside it and fired up that 5.4-liter supercharged V-8. I may not have fully respected this Mustang when I hopped into it for the first time... Full article... Article added: 2009-01-03 09:19:44 Article Views Rating: 111 |
