The Detroit News reports: Ford wants speedy sale of luxury European brands. Smart move, Ford. The PAG makes some purty cars, but the division is losing money (like the rest of Ford). But, like we just said, the cars are decent, so some company will (be foolish enough) to buy one or all of the […]
Autoblog reports: Volvo dropping “R”, but adding “R-line”. Pardon the boy-racer in us, but this is just so gorram stupid
Unlike the soon-to-be-deceased R-badged cars, however, those badged with an R-Line emblem will probably not have hotted up engines.
Come on! It’s OK to drop the boy-racer stuff if the cars aren’t selling, but don’t bring back […]
AutoWeek reports: Helping Hummer. Even if GM was to somehow, miraculously double a Hummer’s fuel economy, it would still be shite. The H2, by GM’s estimate, averages 14 mpg. So now we’d be talking 28. Party time!
Although we’re pretty sure no one buys a Hummer H2 with fuel economy in mind. Glacier melting, sure. Fuel […]
The Detroit News reports: Big Three retiree benefits at risk. Remember that deal you had with the company that said if you worked for 30 years they’d do this and that? So you worked your 30 years and now… This is cat food and it tastes pretty OK on toast.
OK, seriously, this isn’t an auto […]
Well, maybe. No! Edmunds reports: Cadillac 2-mode hybrids being rumored. No!
Look, Cads… Can we call you Cads? Lexus is indeed a worthy foe, but just because they are making silly hybrids doesn’t mean you should, too. Let Lexus make those silly things while we refine, refine, refine your gasoline engines. If you want to go […]
Jalopnik reports: Spy Photos: 2008 Honda Accord. Dammit, come on, Honda. We expect more from you. And this isn’t a knock on Hyundai (’cause they are kicking arse all over the place), it’s more an issue with the lack of imagination from the folks at Honda. They’ve done such a great job with the Civic, […]
It’s a tough’un. CNN reports: Car options: Value added, or not. OK, so they pick a bunch of options (safety equipment shouldn’t be an option) and decide which are worth getting. We generally agree with the list, but we think the whole built-in DVD stuff is wicked cool and should be on the must have. […]
The Detroit News reports: Ford rolls out summer sales rebates. Poor Ford. No interest financing, big rebates… What’s next? A serious attempt at rolling back those huge-ass vehicles for more practical rides? No! It’s another serious rebate to reflect the somber mood of having to offer more money back on a series of vehicles that […]
Take a backwards, hillbilly state, add in some rough times as far as moolah goes and what do you get? Toledo cops begin selling ads on police cruisers. Come on! That is just so, so, so frakkin’ weak.
The corps have taken over and it’s all just Infinite Jest.

Forget the best or fastest route. Forget the worrying about traffic. Try heavy rain and earthquakes! It’s true! Autoblog reports: Honda JDM navi warns of heavy rain … and earthquakes.
Now we’re starting to see some big improvements to this whole in-car communication dealie. Pardon us if OnStar does stuff like this, but we don’t think […]
CNN reports: Luxury brands top best-liked cars list. Previous surveys have found that:
Quality healthcare liked better than Dr. Love and his dirty needles
Good food liked better than fly-covered donuts and wrapper lickens
Alison Krauss loved better than any. one. else.

Jalopnik reports: First Pontiac G8 Rolls Off Holden Assembly Line. Not for nothing, but are folks lining up for Pontiacs nowadays? The kids sure ain’t-a talking about ‘em (even the Solstice isn’t being talked about much).
So, GM and Holden take another swing in Pontiac stadium to see if they can do better than the previous […]
