This is not a good business model. For seven years, back when the Hummer H1 roamed the Earth, Lynch Hummer of Chesterfield, Mo., was the leading Hummer dealer in America. It could barely see the second-place dealer in its enormous side-view mirrors. That ended in 2003, when the pencil-necked sissies at GM... Full article...

People have told me: They don't like the fuel's smell. They worry about breathing particulates. Diesel costs more than gasoline sometimes. There are a host of other excuses why America shouldn't have diesel cars and trucks. There are some diesel trucks available. American auto executives will offer another set of excuses, such as exhaust treatment kits, diesel powertrain markups and lack of consumer interest. I'm a consumer... 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...

Some will also have to get used to selling smaller, more fuel-efficient and better-equipped vehicles than during the industry's SUV-crazy heyday. GM executives met with 430 dealers from around the Midwest at the Rock Financial Showplace as part of a nine-city tour to discuss the future of the automaker's four core brands: Chevrolet...

It's gathered lots of awards, accolades and all-around praise. People love it, and the commercials I've seen always leave a little warm spot in my belly. I've been scheduled to drive it a few times, but the timing was never right. It was delayed at the car wash or I was out of town. Maybe I was subconsciously avoiding our first date. From a distance, I didn't understand any of the raving over this vehicle that has been having a gang buster... Full article...

Granted, I was in West Los Angeles, where the creeks burble with Bollinger and raccoons wear rhinestone collars. Nonetheless, for most buyers in the compact luxury sport-utility segment, my little excursion on a home construction site might as well have been crossing the Gobi. You know these vehicles. Indeed, you cannot swing a rhinestone-wearing raccoon on the Westside without... Full article...
