Ford and Chrysler cut ad spending... uh oh 2008-06-17 03:10:00 While GM and Toyota are ramping up their marketing efforts, the folks in Dearborn and Auburn Hills are spending less this year. Ford pulled back ad spending in the first quarter by 31% to $291 million, while Chrysler

GM seeking Chinese suitor for HUMMER? 2008-06-17 03:07:00 The continual grousing over fuel prices has earned the HUMMER brand a place on consumers' fecal roster. There's nothing wrong with what HUMMER has on offer, other than the fact that large, off-road capable trucks make terrible commuter cars, and the idiots misusing their H2s for tasks better suited to Cobalts are finally wising up. This re-thinking of emetic consumption has sent HUMMER sales down Read more:Chinese

Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins in Michigan, ends 76-race losing streak 2008-06-17 03:02:00 Dale Earnhardt
Jr. is the darling of NASCAR, but the motorsport's most popular driver was completely winless for the last 76 races until this past weekend when the Intimidator's son won the LifeLock 400 at Michigan

Blue 1989 Geo Metro has been "green" since 1993 2008-06-17 02:59:00 Like a number of other folks who didn't get much attention at the time, Doug Heffron was worried about gas mileage and pump costs way back in 1993. That was back when this particular blogger had a VW Jetta that could be filled to the tippy top for $11, and having to spend $13 was considered criminal banditry. But Doug wasn't happy with merely cheap fill-ups and 56 mpg in his Geo Metro Xfi. So he
Nissan's diesel Maxima may be manual only 2008-06-17 02:55:00 Sales of Nissan
's first clean diesel

could come equipped with a manual
transmission as its only option. We honestly can't imagine Nissan going through with this idea. Diesels already have a mildly bad reputation in the states due to some of the not-so-

Detroit 3 show restraint in tough times, continue to limit fleet sales 2008-06-17 02:50:00 Showing great discipline amid declining sales, the Detroit
3 have held back on the temptation to dump vehicles on fleet customers in order to boost numbers. As we reported last month, selling vehicles to corporate fleets and daily rental companies has been a long-practiced method to offload automobiles when sales slow down. Unfortunately, it also results in lowered residual values in the marketpl
More evidence Nissan will build the Dodge Hornet 2008-06-17 02:47:00 The DodgeHornet
was one of the best-looking concepts that Chrysler has produced the past few years, and thanks to a partnership with Nissan
, the impressive-looking compact is inching closer to production. Chrysler and Nissan have yet to officially announce details of the upcoming Nissan Versa-based vehicle they'll develop together, other than to say that it'd be available as a 2010 model, but eve
Ford reduces time between styling changes to three years 2008-06-17 02:41:00 According to Peter Horbury, Ford's head of design in North America, the Blue Oval will be shortening the time frame between major styling changes

Strike against No. 2 car hauler puts it out of business 2008-06-17 02:39:00 The strike last week by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) against
Performance Transportation Services (PTS) was the straw that broke the camel's back.

On Friday, PTS announced that it's stopping all operations and goi

VIDEO UPDATE: Bailey Blade progressing 2008-06-17 02:30:00 Building the BaileyBlade
!Just the other day I said to myself, "I should write Neal Bailey at Bailey Speed and see how he's coming on the Blade." Last time we heard from him was back in March, which is like 20 blog years.

The secret life of the Chevy Volt 2008-06-17 02:24:00 An article in the Atlantic Monthly examines the genesis and gestation of the Chevy
Volt, and concludes with an intriguing mix of potential hits and misses.

Fuel economy not luxurious enough according to Orlando 2008-06-16 15:00:00 Corporate clients have long grown accustomed to being shuttled around in the back seats of Panther-platform Fords. The throwback Town Car that most car services run doesn't exactly sip fuel, so T.J. Donaghy of Orlando

Volkswagen Golf Mk VI not U.S.-bound? 2008-06-16 14:53:00 Germany's Spiegel Online is reporting that currency concerns will force Volkswagen
to not sell the upcoming Mk VI Golf in the United States, Brazil, and Australia. It all boils down to profitability, and it appears that the forthcoming Golf simply cannot be sold in our market (or Brazil or Australia) in the current economic climate without falling short of VW's targets. Thus, Spiegel reports that Read more:Volkswagen Golf

Philadelphia using 3D illusions of speed bumps to slow traffic 2008-06-19 09:14:00 When is a speed bump not a speed bump? When it's a faux traffic
calming device merely painted on the road. Philadelphia
is trotting out "Drive CarePhilly," a program that simultaneously gets a raspberry for its name and its execution. The aim of the effort is to slow down speeding drivers, and one technique involves a tromp l'oeil ruse to make drivers go "What the heck is that?" and slow down. Ph Read more:bumps
GM may not break up with Big Oil on TV after all 2008-06-19 09:12:00 Well, that breakup didn't last long. It seems that GM is looking to get back together even before it parted ways with Big Oil. We wonder, however, just how apt Big Oil will be to take GM back.

According to GM spokeswoman Kelly Cusinat
