Koenigsegg – Saab
Today, GM agreed to sell its SAAB division to Koenigsegg. It’s an interesting combination. Interesting in a good way. A car maker such as SAAB would feel more at home in the hands of the off-the-chart, extremist, purpose built, supercar specialist like Koenigsegg. The supercar maker could actually benefit from SAAB’s parts bin and SAAB’s [...]
Hoping for a right from two wrongs… is wrong.
It’s official. The new Fiat-Chrysler has formed today. Fiat? You say? Yes, the Italian brand that Americans had shunned so intensely that they wouldn’t dare to come back to American market ever since it left the U.S. in the early 80s. But thanks to the horrible economy and the incompetent American auto makers, Fiat now [...]
What is GM up to today?
GM recently ordered its surviving dealers to remove any non-GM products from their showrooms. GM demanded that GM dealers must be GM exclusive. Also, older dealers must renovate their showrooms in order to represent the proper GM image or risk being shut down by GM. What exactly is a proper GM image? The bloated, non-relevant, [...]
What a shame…
General Motors Corp 6/01/2009. What a shame. The once greatest automotive icon in the world has become the ridicule of the trade and a beggar of mercy and pity. With something of this magnitude, everyone is to blame. Executives, management, engineers, designers, line workers, dealers, all the way down to factory floor sweepers. No single [...]
Great American companies
Say, you’re in the market for a decent home theater set-up. You are sitting at home thinking of different brands… and you’re thinking Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba, JVC, LG, Pioneer. Never names such as RCA, Zenith, Magnavox, Admiral, or Jensen would even cross your mind. Why? Because those once great American electronic brands along with [...]
How much for a car?
There is a price point when a car stops being a car and becomes a total mesh of nonsense. That point is at about $75,000. An intelligently designed car within that price point today is more than capable of gratifying even the most demanding of automotive fantasies. Many mainstream cars of today outperform and are [...]

Nice, Good, and the Crap
There are nice cars, good cars and crap cars. But it’s not always easy sorting them in a category. For example, many would dismiss Jaguars as crap because they break down all the time. But that’s like saying wine glasses are crap because they break and paper cups don’t. Wine glasses and paper cups may seem to be doing the [...]
WHat happened to the good ol’ American style?
Screw all that 0-60, handling, slalom, lateral g crap and let’s go back about 30 years or so. And ask ourselves what was wrong with the pure American style of automobiles? Smooth and relaxing ride that made you feel like you were riding on a cloud? What happened to just cruisin’? What was wrong with [...]
