Chrysler today announced a more aggressive incentives program for May, including the potential for no-interest financing on much of its product line or cash-back offers of up to $4,000.

Driven: 2010 Chrysler Sebring Sedan

Posted: 04 May 2010 01:55 PM PDT

The Chrysler Sebring has simply never lived up to its racy name, or to the Chrysler brand's aspirations to be a little more 'premium' in feel. Although it's offered an impressive list of features, it's largely missed the mark up close, with a look and feel that's a step or two behind mid-size leaders like the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, or even...


Ford Doubles Down on Flex-Fuel Vehicles; Do Carbuyers Care?

You may recall that Justin Timberlake was picked as the brand ambassador for Audi, and now he's stepping up his role in the A1's promotion. This video, the first episode of a six-part mini-movie...

Posted: 04 May 2010 08:00 AM PDT

Recalls have always been part of the automotive business, but lately they seem to be centered largely around faulty electronic and electrical systems--a side effect, perhaps, of the increased computerization of cars in general. Today's recall is for 134,215 2005-2006 Infiniti G35 sedans and 2005-2007 G35 Coupes that use a faulty connector that may...


Auto-Industry Recovery: Not Quite Yet, Analysts Say

Posted: 04 May 2010 07:30 AM PDT

Analysts at the market-research firm AutoPacific report that though there are many indications that the recession is ending—or over—there might not be any strong indicators in the automotive sector that things will get much better anytime soon. The firm has found that new-vehicle purchase intention has weakened, not strengthened, in recent months;...
