Entering its second model year, the Flex is Ford's answer to people who need a big people hauler.

For the vehicles it replaces -- the minivan and Taurus X the crossover formerly known as the Freestyle -- the Flex offers a much more stylish solution. But... Full article...

This week, executives from a recomposed auto industry convene in Frankfurt in a cautiously optimistic mood: "The worst is behind us," said Christoph Strmer, an analyst at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight. Now, he said, "the feeling is, we've passed it, we've survived it, we're still in business." Still, industry executives and analysts remain apprehensive... Full article...

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...
