Roll out the rally cars, billion-horsepower engines and every conceivable electronic device -- and some you couldn't imagine -- replica rattlesnake seat covers, bamboo floor mats and more rims than a junkyard and you'll begin to picture SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show. Anything and everything that can be affixed, attached, screwed on or bolted down to a car or truck is on display at the private show, which begins Tuesday and... Full article...

For the most part, they look like regular cars, drive like regular cars and generally feel like them. But then touch a single button and the three-piece roof folds up smartly into the trunk, and all of sudden everything ordinary becomes better. For those who want it all, hardtop convertibles make it possible. Earlier this year, Infiniti introduced the 2009 G convertible. The word "ordinary" and... 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...

It's that dead space between models that other carmakers have filled -- making their offerings look less expensive and, thus, more attractive. The rocket ship $100,000 ZR1 sits atop the mountain, while the fiery $75,000 Z06 remains parked nearby, looking slightly agitated. Then there's the $49,000 base model Corvette -- the Cooper Manning of the Corvette family. It's the oldest, but no one brings it up in conversations about performance. Even the $26,000 price...

With a coupe-like roofline, the all new S60 will add sex appeal to the once boxy and somewhat boring Volvo lineup. The S60 will eventually be offered with a high-efficiency gasoline turbocharged direct-injection 1.6-liter engine mated to a twin-clutch transmission -- with an estimated-combined 47 miles per...

Most automakers displayed concept or production vehicles demonstrating advances in electric car technology, which has emerged as a dominant theme of the show. Volkswagen revealed an e-Up electric show car along with new sporty cars loaded with horsepower, and PSA Peugeot Citroen showed an electric car based on Mitsubishi Motors... Full article...

General Motors Co. will essentially be fielding one brand in Europe -- Chevrolet -- once it completes the sale of its two European brands, Saab of Sweden and Germany's Adam Opel GmbH, which GM has owned since 1929. Ford Motor Co. is more successful in the region, but it also will be... 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...

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...

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... Article added: 2009-09-14 04:08:50 Article Views Rating: 46 |
