It’s funny how perception can change. Since 2008, I have lived on 25 acres of land reached by an uneven road featuring numerous potholes, protruding rocks and a mixture of dirt and gravel. I thought that was off-roading – until last week, that is. Last month, the Jeep brand invited me to experience the 47th [...]
As most of us know, sport utility vehicles were all the rage in the 1990s and early 2000s. You know, back when the economy was roaring and gas was cheap. The HUMMER was the best example of this excess with the H2. It was a trend that fast wore out. Where is it now? Oh [...]

Mueller had tried tirelessly for months and months to secure Saab’s future, negotiating deals with different companies that he hoped would save the company. Mueller is clearly a car guy with negotiating [...]

While there are a lot of exceptions to that, it is true that you can often get an idea of someone’s priorities or sometimes personality characteristics. The credit rating agency Experian conducted a study to find [...]
It’s the beginning of the year, and you know what that means; manufacturer sales data for 2012 is coming in.
