The letter read: “Dear AutoGuide, can you give me some advice in looking for a vehicle for my family. My wife and I have two kids, ages 5 and 8, and a Golden Retriever. Twice a year or so, I need to tow two motorcycles to Sturgis and Daytona for motorcycle rallies. Several times each summer, I tow my jet skis to and from our summer cottage in Michigan. We also take two family camping trips each summer, so we need a place for all our gear and the dog. During the year, my wife has to car pool our kids and others to school, and handle the usual chauffeuring to soccer, swim meets, Little League, and gymnastics classes. We also help out at church recycling programs, and lots of trips to the nursery for landscaping chores.

Will General Motors Kill Its Electric Car?By Admin
If you have a new automotive technology, where do you put it? In low-volume luxury cars, which allows for experimentation and a higher price?
Or should new technology go to big-selling, lower cost cars, where you can try for a bases-loaded home run, excite the mass of buyers and score big before imitators can follow?
GM’s problems won’t be fixed by dealer closuresBy Admin
Conventional wisdom holds that sales people don’t cost a business money. Unlike product producers, a sales person is a revenue producer. The more sales people, the more chance a business has of earning money. It’s analogous to the relationship automobile dealers have with their manufacturers.
7 Reasons Why the New GM Might File for BankruptcyBy Admin
Despite shedding billions in bondholders’ debt, paying creditors pennies on the dollar, winning UAW concessions, cutting thousands of employees, dealers, manufacturing facilities and obtaining $50 billions in financing/loans from the Treasury, GM’s (GMGMQ.PK) bankruptcy plan may not work.
GM retooling Ohio factory for small-car successBy Admin
LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — As General Motors Corp. undergoes its transformation from big and slow to lean and fast in a New York bankruptcy court, a similar metamorphosis is under way inside a mammoth eastern Ohio factory that will make what arguably is GM’s most important vehicle.
GM: Go green or go profitable?By Admin
But when the automaker filed for bankruptcy protection June 1 with a US$173-billion debt — more than twice its assets — and the governments of Canada and the United States pledged US$60-billion to stabilize the company in exchange for a majority stake, perhaps no one captured the public’s bewilderment better than Jon Stewart.
A G.M. Hybrid That Misses the High NotesBy Admin
MORE than a year ago, a Chevrolet marketing man was gamely presenting the new Malibu family sedan to the press in a suburb of New York City. The company had trumpeted a hybrid offshoot of the car, but with the standard Malibu about to go on sale, Chevy became strangely evasive.
