There&#8217;s all kinds of controversy over what makes a car &#8220;green&#8221; and what doesn&#8217;t. Some point to size and efficiency, crucifying Hummers and full-size trucks as criminals against the planet. Others point to lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, battery-component mining pollution and other less-obvious measures to excoriate hybrids. In any case, TTAC&#8217;s scientific department isn&#8217;t well-funded [...]]]></description>

People have tried to be kind, saying that it’s  challenging and that it’s unusual. But the simple fact of the matter is  this: it’s as ugly as an inside-out monkey. It’s dreadful. Part Austin Maxi,  it looks like someone with no talent at all was trying to describe what they  wanted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
TTAC&#8217;s MontanaVista sent us the heads-up: Volkswagen has released pricing and official information for its new Golf.  The commentator whose name reminds me of the station wagons of my youth alerted us that VeeDub&#8217;s U.S. website has finally been updated, and the death of the Rabbit nomenclature is now officially official. Not that anyone will [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Should I buy a Saturn car?&#8221; asks Consumer Reports&#8217; blog of itself in the wake of Penske&#8217;s takeover interruptus. &#8220;In a word,&#8221; comes the answer, &#8220;no.&#8221; Though other GM dealers will be able to honor warranties and service Saturns, CR worries that there are &#8220;practical limitations to parts inventory and technician training.&#8221; Normal servicing shouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

TTAC has a rule of thumb: if the Detroit Free Press is laying into GM, the trouble must be staggeringly unavoidable. And sure enough, the latest Freepian blast is the result of a predictably bad decision: cranking up production in the face of slack sales and a tough post-clunker market. GM&#8217;s decision to bump production [...]]]></description>

Fritz Henderson:  cruze is an all new vehicle developed as a true chevrolet.   we will build the vehicle in our plant in lordstown, ohio.
Ron, that&#8217;s a great question, but [...]]]></description>

AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson has issues with the industry practice of maintaining 50 to 60 days worth of supply of new vehicles. In today&#8217;s Automotive News [sub], Jackson advocates for a 30-day benchmark, blasting the manufacturers for their complacency.
What other business accepts the same benchmark for 50, 60 years and says, ‘That’s fine&#8221;? As soon [...]]]></description>

The last time we checked-in with jameslist.com, they were pimping a no-miles-to-speak-of XJ220 that was up for auction. I didn&#8217;t play coy on the subject; I slated the XJ220 as a slap-in-the-face of Jag&#8217;s history, and one of the most difficult and dangerous automobiles to drive on a public road. Period. Several of our Best [...]]]></description>
