| Toyota Recall: Older, Higher-Mileage Vehicles More At Risk Posted: 02 Feb 2010 02:08 PM PST  Toyota's recent recall for an issue that might lead to a sticky accelerator pedal covers about 2.3 million vehicles going all the way back to 2005. But is the owner of a 2005 Toyota Avalon with 150,000 miles more likely to experience this as, say, the owner of 2010 Toyota Corolla fresh out of the showroom? The short answer is yes. Today, Toyota...

| 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Helps Mercedes Boost Sales 45.3 Percent In January Posted: 02 Feb 2010 09:56 AM PST  We typically try to spare you the dry and often ephemeral tedium of monthly sales reports, but this month, Mercedes-Benz posted a 45.3 percent gain over January 2009--and that's something to take note of. Strong sales of the new E-Class helped push the boost, but sales of models like the S-Class, SL-Class, M-Class and GLK-Class are also up...

| Congress Considers Adding 20,000 Electric Vehicles To USPS Fleet Posted: 02 Feb 2010 09:18 AM PST  With around 260,000 vehicles at its disposal, the United States Postal Service operates the biggest civilian fleet in the country. Unfortunately, most of those vehicles get terrible gas mileage: the Grumman postal van only earns around 10mpg, and the 17% of USPS trucks that run on E85 don't fare any better. With stats like that, it's reasonable to...

| Honda Troubles: Sluggish Insight Sales, Costly Fit Hybrid Technology Posted: 02 Feb 2010 08:17 AM PST  Honda had big plans for the 2010 Insight. With low pricing and high tech, Honda hoped the Insight could leapfrog past the Toyota Prius to become the hottest hybrid on the market. Unfortunately, Honda's dreams haven't exactly played out as planned. When the 2010 Insight launched in March of last year, Honda set a U.S. sales goal of 90,000 units in...

| 2010 Volkswagen GTI: The Greenest Hot Hatch? Posted: 02 Feb 2010 08:00 AM PST  The front-wheel-drive Volkswagen GTI is a blast to drive. It's fun slow, it's fun fast. It's a lot like a MINI Cooper in that regard, but less cute, way more practical, and many of its attributes are quite nuanced and subtle — unlike a MINI. More on subtleties below. Fireworks come first. And you experience the latter at all times behind the wheel...

In a nutshell, Saab will be repositioned as a performance marque, based on a core group of three or four models.
