Ford isn’t exactly a stranger to Mazda, heck, for a while they even owned about a third of the entire Japanese car maker. That said though, at the moment, Ford barely owns some 3.5 percent of Mazda and thus the people from the Land of the Rising sun seem to want to move away.
Dodge have a good thing going with the Ram, it’s a nice middle of the road solution for your average pickup truck buyer. When Ford didn’t have enough of stabbing at the Ram and launched the F-150 SVT Raptor, they made Dodge angry who responded by building the Runner Kit.
We had the rumor, and now we have confirmation from the Japanese at Mitsubishi themselves. The company has decided to shift production of the Outlander Sport to the United States of America, particularly in Normal, Illinois.
We all have to admit, the Mazda MX-5 (Miata to you Yank folks and Roadster to you Japs) has gotten to the point where it’s so brilliant it’s almost boring. That may be so, but being boring to talk about doesn’t mean the small Japanese roadster is boring to drive. And that is why it’s
The British motor industry seems to be in quite a lot of buzz at the beginning of this year we call 2011. Not only have they announced the Mini Coupe and Paceman coming into production soon, we’ve now also got word on how the chaps at Noble will do the same for their M600 in
Having been launched at the Detroit Motor Show, the Mini Paceman got quite a dollop of attention. Just like any concept, the Mini Paceman is excellent at attracting attention but when the British announced that it would get to the production state it became a bit of a star.
As it turns out, the best selling car in the world is in quite a bit of trouble, so much in fact that the Americans have had to halt production of the Ford F-150. In truth, the Ford F-150 doesn’t have any sort of trouble with the selling, the shipping or any such regular situation.
I reckon the people who run Toyota are running into some trouble making deliveries for their U.S. prone brand, Scion. The winter must certainly be a factor. Otherwise it’s difficult to understand why the Scion iQ would have been delayed until summer. Unless, of course, you understand marketing.
Erm, sort of. You see, the Bentley continental Shooting break isn’t exactly a fully fledged Bentley product. Underneath the estate-ish looking Coupe you actually have a “regular” Bentley Continental GTC which has most of its body redone by hand.
The latest batch of reports has quite the bit of news from the Germans at Porsche. As it turns out, it involves the company’s newest product, the Cajun. The Porsche Cajun is a crossover destined to open a new market for Porsche under the relatively big Cayenne. So why does Porsche plan to send it
The Japanese at Nissan aren’t happy with the little American attention they got from the Detroit Motor Show so far. Why would that be surprising since the only thing Nissan had to say in regards to the North American International Auto Show is how they’re going to have a proper presence next year.
Out in the wilds of Abu Dhabi but nevertheless, it’s worth a second, third and how much time have you got glance. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics seems to be quite surefooted about moving from a concept state to an actual production model.
See, the automotive industry does love you. How else would you hear about this sort of thing even though New Year’s Eve is knocking on your door? According to a report from a factory insider, there’s a very good chance that Porsche may send production of the Cayman and the Boxster to the same plant
It’s been two months since the world of city cars was shaken by a Lotus Concept that wore exactly the same name. Since then, some paperwork has been done and a lot of management decisions have been made at the lightweight oriented manufacturer. This is the only explanation I can find for their latest announcement.
Don’t take this the wrong way, what I actually meant to say is that GM’s eco-box has left the factory and is headed for dealers. In other words the 2011 Chevrolet Volt has almost begun customer delivery. Within a few days some happy owners will be driving their Volts.
A recent report from Japan tells us that Toyota has planned for a change in directions as far as future car production is concerned. The “star” of the biggest and most troublesome recall in history has decided to cut back on production plans for 2011.
A recent report from my favorite place in the world “the Internet” the Bavarians have cooked up quite a bit of a surprise. The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept will go into production after all. Beside the tasty news of the BMW VED Concept being on its way to the dealership floor, the cheeky Germans
One of the most eagerly awaited EVs of our time, the Nissan Leaf has entered a new stage of it’s existence, it began series production today. The production of the Nissan Leaf began this morning at the company’s Oppama facility in Japan. The Oppama plant is one of Nissan’s finest being able to churn out
Despite some of the recent disappointments that came along with the Chevrolet Volt and GM’s advertising of the fully electric range it’s capable of the car doesn’t seem to have put anybody of. What I mean to say is that GM still reckons the Chevrolet Volt hasn’t put anybody off as they’ve just announced their
