| Mahindra Diesel Pickups Finally Secure EPA Certification Posted: 20 Aug 2010 03:04 PM PDT  The ongoing saga of Mahindra's venture into the U.S.--a story laced with lawsuits between manufacturer and distributor, delays, more delays, and one enticing little diesel truck--has just turned a corner. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today certified the Mahindra diesel pickups for U.S. sale. Certification was the largest remaining...

| New Backseat Seatbelt Rules Close A Loophole In Some States Posted: 20 Aug 2010 02:34 PM PDT  Most states now require adults, as well as kids in back, to be buckled up. But it's a little-known fact, to some motorists, that some of these laws don't apply to adults in the backseat. And one worrisome trend, USA Today reports, is that in some states—such as New Jersey—rear seatbelt use is falling as front belt use rises. The combination of...

| 2011 Ram Outdoorsman Features Gun Rack Option For RamBox Posted: 20 Aug 2010 01:56 PM PDT  Citizens of the left coast and New Europe might shiver in their Italian loafers at the thought of a gun rack offered as a factory option in a modern pickup truck, but the Big Red Middle is sure to be pleased with the 2011 Ram Outdoorsman. Sporting a pair of lockable "RamBoxes" on either side of the bed, the Outdoorsman also gets a RamBox Holster...

| 2011 Jeep Liberty: Price Drop And Interior Details Add Appeal Posted: 20 Aug 2010 01:05 PM PDT  The 2011 Jeep Liberty won't look much different than the 2010 Liberty on the outside, but there will be a few key changes inside—including an all-new nav system. Although Chrysler hasn't yet put out a release on what's different on the Liberty for 2011, Allpar reports that a few trim and equipment changes look to help maintain its appeal for...

| Around The World In 80 Days... On Renewable Electricity Posted: 20 Aug 2010 12:30 PM PDT  Electric vehicles might not be the first mode of transport you'd think of to drive around the world, but that's what the five teams taking part in the Zero Race have just set off to achieve. Starting from the Swiss capital city Geneva, the teams will cover 30,000 kilometers (18,650 miles) on their circumnavigation of the planet, arriving back in...

| 2011 Ford Edge: An [Adjective] [Noun] That Really [Verb] Posted: 20 Aug 2010 12:26 PM PDT  We drove various models of the 2011 Ford Edge five-seat crossover on Wednesday. In fact, we've already written a full drive report on the newly restyled, re-equipped, and re-engined 2011 Edge. But we can't show it to you until 12:01 am (Eastern time) on Monday. Why? Because many automakers, Ford included, impose embargoes on coverage of new...

| Kia Rondo Discontinued: Rest In Peaceful Cabinosity Posted: 20 Aug 2010 12:11 PM PDT  One of the most space-efficient vehicles on the market, the Kia Rondo, won't be back for 2011. So confirms Kia on its official U.S. website, where it uses the saying that "all good things must come to an end." Truthfully, you probably remember the weird, new-agey 'Rondoism' ad campaign—with singers reaching upward and terms like 'cabinosity,' and...

| Today at High Gear Media: Cheap Trucks, Wrecked Ferraris and Snooki Posted: 20 Aug 2010 11:32 AM PDT  The crystal ball for car sales is cloudy, my friends. This year's estimates of 11.6 million sales could be topped slightly--or could be the good old days by next year. Sigh. [TheCarConnection] If you're looking for a deal on a new car, though, the 2010 Chevy Silverado wears the most discounts on its Monroney this month. [TheCarConnection]...

| Today in Car News: Mahindra, Evora, and 2012 Honda Civic Posted: 20 Aug 2010 11:32 AM PDT  Hyundai's loss is once again GM's gain, as Chris Perry moves from southern California to Detroit to be Chevrolet's new brand marketing guru. Somehow we're familiar with this kind of poaching. [Detroit Free Press] GM faces a rocky road as it tries to sell investors on its IPO, but it's courting money from all around the world. So maybe the rocky...

| Breaking: Production 2012 Hyundai Veloster Not Coming To L.A. Auto Show Posted: 20 Aug 2010 10:25 AM PDT  Hyundai just announced via its Twitter account that the production version of its Veloster concept won't be on display at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. The news isn't really that surprising, since the 2011 Elantra will be making its debut in L.A., and Hyundai has previously stated on its blog that the Veloster would make its world debut at Paris...

| Snooki Polizzi Could Be Legally Declared 'Annoying' (Yes, It's A Real Thing) Posted: 20 Aug 2010 09:11 AM PDT  A year ago, the thought of Oompa-Loompas made us smile. Sure, they were a little creepy, what with their bite-size stature and fake bake-gone-terribly-wrong tan jobs, but whatever: they had their place in our crusty childhood hearts. Then came Jersey Shore. We don't exactly know how Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi escaped from Willy Wonka's magical...

| Fuel Economy In the Sky: Whose Jets Get the Most Mileage? Posted: 20 Aug 2010 08:55 AM PDT  It's Friday, so we're straying slightly afield from covering cars. In this case, we're turning our green lens toward jetliners to look at fuel economy in the sky. Anyone who travels on a jet more than once has likely more than doubled their non-flying carbon footprint, and there are unlikely to be electric jets in our lifetimes. So fuel efficiency...

| Dueling Analysts: Edmunds, J.D. Power Predict Strong, Weak Sales For 2010 Posted: 20 Aug 2010 08:12 AM PDT  Yesterday, Edmunds and J.D. Power announced their predictions for August sales. And while the numbers were pretty close, the two companies' spins were decidedly different. Of the two, J.D. Power provided the more in-depth analysis, predicting that new-vehicle retail sales will slip from just over 878,000 in July 2010 to 857,000 in August. That...

| Frugal Shopper: 2010 Chevy Silverado Most-Discounted In August Posted: 20 Aug 2010 05:11 AM PDT  If you're shopping for a large pickup like the Chevrolet Silverado, the time is still right to get a very sweet deal. According to the pricing-intelligence firm TrueCar, which tracks transaction prices and can show you what kind of discount to expect locally, large pickups are the type of vehicle that remains most discounted. As a class they're...
