This year the math adds up to 110%

Two weeks ago, Chrysler held a marathon press event orchestrated by the management of Fiat, which controls Chrysler these days. It was too bad it lasted so long. The Europeans didn't understand that they could have communicated the entire plan in a couple of hours. We wish Chrysler and Fiat well with their forecasts. But to say that they might be a tad optimistic would be an understatement. Unless they plan on a miracle sometime soon, ... [SUB] 12:01 am U.S. ET | Nov.16

A new model for the industry (Or not)

Someday, decades from now, we may look back on this nasty 2009 not as the bottom of a global financial crisis but as a dramatic tipping point, when outmoded 20th century business models were tossed out like the trash and replaced with radical models for the new millennium. Or maybe we won't. The history of the auto industry is littered with the corpses of people and companies that tried to operate — to borrow Saturn's tarnished ... [SUB] 12:01 am U.S. ET | Sept.28

Neglect of cars comes back to haunt the Detroit 3

Something to think about: Will the Detroit 3 ever become primarily carmakers again?They have been mainly truckmakers since 1996. They are gradually switching back to the car side and -- boy oh boy -- is it ever tough.But they're working on it, and the fruits of their labors will be in General Motors and Ford showrooms within the year. At GM, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Malibu are on sale, and the Chevrolet Cruze will arrive in 2010. ... [SUB] 4:08 pm U.S. ET | Oct.7

Electric cars are driving industry into an eco-trap

Catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters, hybrid drivetrains -- the shock of being late on these technologies still runs deep among German automakers.The proud German auto industry doesn't want to be told again that it didn't recognize an important new trend, so electric drive is being researched everywhere, from Wolfsburg to Ruesselsheim and from Stuttgart to Munich.That's because it's considered a technology of the future, at ...

COMMENT: $/100 miles: Electric era's new mpg

Nissan North America says the Nissan Leaf all-electric car will get 367 mpg. No, it won't. General Motors Co. says the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt will get 230 mpg. No, it can't. The Leaf's miles-per-gallon rating will be zero, nada, zilch. The car doesn't burn a molecule of petroleum. It doesn't get a miles-per-gallon rating, simply because no gallons are involved. And the Volt's true fuel economy is more confusing and ... [SUB] 12:01 am U.S. ET | Nov.16
