After years in the slow lane, cars may finally be taking back the roads from sport utility vehicles and trucks.
Soaring gasoline prices and flagging consumer confidence drove the industry to new depths last month, with shoppers — when they did buy — going for fuel-efficient, smaller cars. In a month that saw the lowest overall U.S. vehicle sales in 13 years, carmakers saw light-truck a

Sales at Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. fell in April as record U.S. gasoline prices drove consumers to Toyota Motor Corp.’s fuel-efficient cars and away from big trucks and sport-utility vehicles.Ford’s 12 percent decline was led by the F-Series pickup, while falling demand for the Chevrolet Silverado led to a 16 percent reduction at GM. Japan’s Toyota reported gains on increased demand for small cars such as the Yaris and Prius. Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. also rose.
Gasoline costs and a slowing U.S. economy dragged April sales to their lowest rate in 13 years. Industrywide demand dropped 6.9 percent, the sixth straight monthly decline, and Asian automakers scored record market share.

GM to lay off 3,550 at 4 pickup truck and SUV factories. After Motorola's announcement to stop giving bonuses to its employees, GM followed. Due to high gasoline prices and an economic downturn, the world's largest automaker announced Monday that it plans to cut one shift each at pickup truck and large sport utility vehicle plants in Flint and Pontiac, Mich.; Janesville, Wis.; and Oshawa, Ontario, resulting in about 3,550 layoffs.
GM said it will make about 88,000 fewer pickups and 50,000 fewer big SUVs this calendar year because of the cuts. The layoffs represent just over 4 percent of GM's hourly manufacturing work force of about 80,000 in North America.

The sport truck draws its strength from the same powerful 6.0L V-8 engine used in the G8 GT. It puts out 361 horsepower (270 kW) and 385 lb.-ft. (522 Nm) of torque. The combination of a six-speed automatic transmission and Active Fuel Management technology provides both car-like fuel economy and an unexpected 0-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds. While these performance numbers are respectable by sports car standards, the G8 sport truck offers flexibility unlike that of a sports car. A 73.9-inch (1878 mm) cargo bed has 42.7 cubic feet (1208 L) of cargo space and a durable composite bed liner. It also can carry a payload of more than 1,074 pounds (488 kg) and tow a 3,500-pound (1,600 kg) trailer.

If you're in the market for a new car or truck, you are probably excited to choose the model, the paint job, and all of the accessories that come with the vehicle. However, your ability to finance the vehicle is just as important - if not more important - than all of the cool details and add-ons. Most people opt to purchase a new car or truck through financing, which is the process of paying for a vehicle with loan installments. Financially, this is a much more manageable method of vehicle ownership than paying for a vehicle in one giant, multi-thousand dollar lump sum. You can obtain a car or truck loan directly through your dealership of choice; through a bank, or through a private individual. Each method of payment comes with inherent risks and rewards (for example, loan rates through b

Dodge engineers spent hours in a wind tunnel smoothing and reshaping the rearview mirrors on the new Ram pickup to improve the truck’s aerodynamics.But when the 2009 Ram and extensively restyled 2009 Ford F-150 make their big local debuts next week at the Dallas Auto Show, both will face headwinds they can’t control.Although the Ram and F-150 are loaded with features, they are part of a segment that has been buffeted by the slumping economy. Even all-new pickups must battle a falling housing market, high fuel prices and low consumer confidence.“All in all, people are very nervous about the economy,” said Bob Hegbloom, senior manager of Ram pickups at Dodge, which is part of the Chrysler Group. “But we’re still pretty confident.
