Audi unveils A4 with Yaris-beating fuel economy...in Europe {Autoblog}
May 2nd 2007 1:10PM I wonder what the weight-saving measures are (other than the aluminum hood).
Ford: No more new Land Rovers for Sudan {Autoblog}
May 2nd 2007 10:46AM How many brand new Land Rovers were being bought by militia members? I would have figured they'd be a bit more budget-conscious.
Bentley shoots for the 10k mark with updated Conti {Autoblog}
May 2nd 2007 9:52AM I am not a Bentley buyer and probably never will be, but I think they're giving up a certain amount of exclusivity by trying to sell more cars. Shoot, mark them all up $5000 US and anticipate selling 500 less cars... they'll make as much and maintain a little more exclusivity.
Saturn Vue gets a $3k bump in the sticker {Autoblog}
Apr 30th 2007 10:16AM Crossovers still excite me about as much as Melba toast does.
VW + LG = MP3 {Autoblog}
Apr 24th 2007 2:25PM Serious question: does anyone buy New Beetles anymore? I kind of thought the fad was dead.
Maserati wants the 8C to reintroduce America to Alfa Romeo {Autoblog}
Apr 12th 2007 1:19PM Cup holders? Sounds like they have some ex-Ford management trying to help them come back to the US. And, as the owner of two '80s Spiders, I can say that once Alfa adopted Bosch injection, the two-liter twin cam engine became supremely reliable. It's a 200,000 mile engine, easily... can't say that about many other '80s cars.

Mercedes-Benz releases glut of info on SLR McLaren 722 Edition {Autoblog}
Jan 29th 2007 4:17PM Hmm, I wonder how long those will languish on dealership lots... the current model certainly does. Owners are taking $50,000+ resale baths.
It's an awesome car, for sure, and I'm not certain why the uber-rich are not buying them. I know I would, just for kicks.

Jan 3rd 2007 11:44AM They still made those?
Thanks to regulators, US MINIs get plain-looking seats {Autoblog}
Nov 29th 2006 12:11PM I would not be surprised to see new seats in the second year of production...
It has to be expensive to produce two different kinds of seats for the Mini's two biggest markets (North America and Europe). Perhaps they'll catch on and make the sensors work with something that closely resembles those gorgeous seats!
