In all actuality, though, the Serbian automaker Zastava that's currently for sale, has plenty to offer prospective buyers. This fact is evidenced by reports that Volkswagen is considering bidding on the ex-Yugoslavian company. Zastava is the only automaker based in Serbia, and has a number of factories and excess production capacity which could prove... Full article...

The American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. walkout threatens to deprive GM's Lordstown, Ohio, factory of a brake part, which would halt work on the Chevrolet Cobalt, said Jim Graham, president of United Auto Workers Local 1112.

The Audi A3 and the Volvo C30 rev well in the... Full article...
