Jim Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, sure seems to think so. “I think long-term, Prius as a nameplate could even outsell Camry as a nameplate, into this next decade,” he tells Wards Auto. When asked if the Prius&#8217;s success would trade off with the Camry, he replied in the negative, saying &#8220;I think [...]]]></description>

Look at Chrysler&#8217;s sales volume by model, and it&#8217;s clear that Ram is one of the few nameplates keeping Chrysler&#8217;s volume moving. Especially when you consider that pickups typically generate far more profit than car and crossover models. Which brings us to what may have been the most penetrating question of Wednesday&#8217;s question-and-answer period (which [...]]]></description>

At RM’s London classic car auction this was the “standard” fare of painstakingly restored Aston Martins, Ferraris and Mercedes Gullwings . The hall glistened and gleamed with well polished beauties. The star of the show, however, turned out to be a rusted, dilapidated and altogether disheveled former statesman.  A 1969 Mercedes–Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet, chariot of popes and princes, had been transported from [...]]]></description>

It is unfortunate that Edmunds.com has had nothing but negative things to say about a wildly successful program that sold nearly 250,000 cars in its first four days alone. There can be no doubt that CARS drummed up more business for car dealers at a time when they needed help the most.
The Department of Transportation&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The Detroit News reports that GM is delaying the launch of the Chevrolet Cruze. The nationalized automaker&#8217;s next big&#8212;I mean small thing will now hit U.S. showrooms in the third quarter of 2010. In theory. GM&#8217;s explanation for the delayed denouement: it wants to ensure &#8220;a flawless launch.&#8221; Given GM&#8217;s on-again, of-again product planning chaos, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s your classic case of schlechte/gute Nachrichten. Post-Chrysler Daimler is predicting positive earnings in the fourth financial quarter&#8212;before interest and tax. After that, after the federal money&#8217;s gone, things will go from worse to worserer. &#8220;Global demand for cars should fall this year by only around 10 percent thanks to state incentives . . .

Mickey Kaus and TheBigMoney&#8217;s Matthew DeBord joined in the recent kerfluffle over GM&#8217;s market share predictions, Kaus on the side of TTAC&#8217;s pessimism, and DeBord on the audacity of hope against hope side. DeBord grabs his spade and starts digging, and it only takes a paragraph before he strikes a vast reserve of bubbling&#8230; excuses.
