Every Vehicle Ever Made Recalled
It would be easier, wouldn't it? CNN/Money reports: Chrysler, GM, Hyundai and Kia in recalls. And with Ford recalling a crapload recently... Along with Toyota recalling a crap-load of cars... How about all you car-makin' folk recall all your freakin' cars once a year for an "Oops, we'll fix that straightaway" checkup? All you carmakers suck. Us? We never make any mistakes!
HHR's Future Is So Bright... Yadda Yadda Yadda
AutoWeek reports: Chevy HHR is hot, so GM raises target again, looks at boosting production. Wow, this thing is selling like crazy. It is crazy... Are only blind people buying these? We're also upset because we told everyone that this vehicle wasn't any good (look under Chevrolet section) but, hello?!, is anyone listening? No! Make Hulk mad! Hulk smash! Actually, Hulk think this no hot seller long term and we should check in 12 month from now! Raaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Hot Rod Lincoln?
AutoWeek reports: Ford reportedly considering building a Mustang-based sporty Lincoln coupe. Looks like Ford is finally thinking of a slightly cool car. We'd love to see a sports car come out of Lincoln rather than more sedans and, god forbid, another freakin' pickup truck. Come on, Ford, do something fun!
Hyundai: We Told You We Rock!
AutoWeek reports: Hyundai says its redesigned Sonata can run with the big dogs.
In the six months since its launch, the redesigned Hyundai Sonata sedan is gaining ground on its main competition.We're excited to see more choice, but we're bummed none of them are American choices. While we think the Fusion has a chance to take away some sales in this segment, thanks to Ford's inattention to safety (anti-lock brakes aren't standard, and stability control is not at all available), we think the Sonata will end up selling more than the Fusion.The Sonata has found its way onto shopping lists that include the Japanese Big 3: the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima.
What's more, Hyundai is winning an increasing share of those battles, at higher transaction prices than before, a Hyundai executive says.
Alfas A-Comin' Back?
The Detroit News reports: What the faithful drive while awaiting Alfa's return. This sure sounds like great news for Alfa fans. Or as the article claims they are called: Alfistis. And we, too, were first exposed to Alfa Duetto Spider via the movie The Graduate. Coincidentally enough, we had our own "Graduate" experience some years ago, but instead of Anne Bancroft, it involved Patty, the chain-smoking newspaper delivery woman, and instead of a Duetto Spider, it involved a 1972 Ford Torino Stationwagon and our Schwinn with a banana seat. Damn that Gordon's Gin!
