Yoshimi Inaba, a former U.S. sales chief recently rehired by Toyota, said he was seeing signs that demand in the U.S. auto market was picking up and was confident about its long-term prospects. "I'm a very firm believer that this market will bounce back sooner or later," said Inaba, the New York-based... Full article...

The Yokohama Tire Corp. has a new tech transfer ready to roll -- tires made by using the oil from orange peels to replace much of the petroleum-based oil that goes into tire production. Officially, Yokohama's new tire is the dB Super E-spec, which the Japanese rubber company calls "the... Full article...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

Compared to the prototypes we saw last year, these new prototypes look almost production-ready down to the two massive, center-mounted exhaust outlets; larger, sportier wheels; and V-series badging. We can also see that this new prototype is NOT sporting cross-drilled rotors as the first prototypes were. Additionally, pieces of black tape cover the V-series badges just behind the front...

There have been several candidates, but the manufacturer has the number of them to final three for each brand. There have been 10 companies bidding on the Saab. GM says that May will be spent on talks with the final three. The automaker does not officially announce them, but according to one version the three candidates are BMW, Renault and Tata Motors, according to the other one Fiat is one of the potential...

My advice: Look straight ahead. Going that fast means you can see the forest, but not any of the trees, as they past in a flurry of sound and color. Now, I wasn't driving on just any Michigan road. I was testing the 2010 Lincoln MKT's new powertrain at Ford's Michigan Proving Grounds in Romeo. Part of the facility includes a super smooth, 5-mile oval track with... Full article...

CAW President Ken Lewenza said the agreement between the United Auto Workers and GM a day earlier put pressure on the Canadian talks, as well as the need for GM to be able to put a comprehensive restructured business plan on President Barack Obama's desk within three days.

Analysts said it will take a couple more months to fully gauge consumer reaction to these moves, but Haig Stoddard of IHS Global Insight said one thing is already clear: "Ford is likely to be the big volume winner." While Chrysler touts the benefits of "quick-rinse" bankruptcy -- something GM is expected to soon enter into as well -- Ford Motor Co. is in the... Full article...

Detroit's automakers still lag the Japanese, but the gap has narrowed as Japan's leading carmakers have lost ground with suppliers in North America. Among the U.S. automakers, Ford Motor Co. extended its lead over its domestic rivals after improving its scores for the second year in a... Full article...

The consonant quality of this car, from the moment you turn the key to the moment you gratefully leave it in the chiropractor's parking lot, is a wanton and cheerful disregard for finesse and delicacy. This is exactly right. You have to understand, after four... Full article... Article added: 2009-05-25 05:23:14 Article Views Rating: 129 |
