The manufacturer plans to keep Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC, but Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Hummer are going to leave the company. General Motors has been talking about Hummer sale since summer when the fuel prices went high and the sales of the gas-guzzlers dropped. At that time... Full article...

The move comes as GM plans to shrink the Pontiac portfolio as part of a broader restructuring plan that involves cutting 21,000 to 31,000 jobs, eliminating about 1,750 dealers and closing or selling Saab, Hummer and Saturn.

Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said lawmakers are making a big push for battery research and production in the United States. "I'd be very surprised if there is not serious money for batteries in the stimulus bill," Carper said. "If we're going to put all this money into... Full article...

It's come to my attention, as I try to find a spot to park when I visit his home, that he is accumulating LOTS of cars. Here's the inventory of vehicles: a VW bus, two Saabs, an Isuzu Rodeo, a Subaru Forester, his Subaru Legacy, an engine for the Rodeo sitting in the garage and a BMW R1100RT motorcycle largely disassembled for a transmission repair in the garage. All of the cars in the driveway... Full article...

Maserati Gran Turismo Review If you can talk about the Maserati Gran Turismo high-performance coupe for more than two minutes without using a naughty innuendo, you should get a prize. We'll try to remain prizeless. Just looking at the $121,000 GT is enough to make you vibrate, so you can imagine what happens when you actually drive it. You lean into the throttle coaxing the Maserati-designed, Ferrari-built, 4.2-liter V-8 into delivering as much power and speed as your lawyer and bank account can handle. And you wonder: If...

In Florida, the Sun Pass is the electronic thingy you put on your dash and it pays tolls or other charges on your credit card or something. We don't have anything like it in the greater Detroit area because we don't collect tolls or even repair roads.

Their all-wheel drive technology has long earned them a solid reputation with the skiing and snow-boarding crowd. The one exception to this overall image of rugged outdoorsmen-type car is their Impreza WRX. The WRX has garnered much praise from auto-enthusiasts for its performance and handling in a price-band well below similar vehicles. I was excited to find out what all the fuss was about.
