| Study: Europe Could Replace Half Of Gasoline With Biofuels By 2020 Posted: 15 Sep 2010 04:11 PM PDT  By 2020, a new report says, biofuels could replace 50 percent of EU gasoline, but that would require 100 new refineries per year. And in this scenario, it estimates, the biofuels industry could be worth about $40 billion. The Bloomberg New Energy Finance study says that just using the waste biomass that's currently being generated, could go toward...

| EPA Sticker Rules Tighten, But HD Trucks Still Evade Ratings Posted: 15 Sep 2010 01:41 PM PDT  If you're shopping for a serious people hauler, and by that, we mean one that can both carry several adults in comfort, as well as tow a boat or a horse trailer—you might consider one of the full-size (read: heavy duty or super duty) pickups. Or, for even more passenger comfort, take a look at the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 or 2011 GMC...

| 5 Reasons Bluetooth Streaming is a Passing Fad Posted: 15 Sep 2010 01:00 PM PDT  Bluetooth streaming is a passing fad, and we're here to tell you why. The solution to in-car audio seems brilliant, at first. Your Bluetooth-equipped car is already connecting your device for phone calls. Why can't it also connect the music player so you don't have to fiddle with a jumble of wires and inconveniently placed USB ports? It turns out...

| More Ethanol In Gasoline: 'Minimal Risk' To Old Cars, Study Says Posted: 15 Sep 2010 11:07 AM PDT  We've written before about just how worried automakers are at proposals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to increase the ethanol content of pump gasoline from 10 to 12 or even 15 percent. They fear it will damage older cars whose engines and fuel systems were never designed to handle that amount of the corrosive alcohol, and then owners...

| OnStar Rumors Are True: Upgrades Bring The Service Into The 21st Century Posted: 15 Sep 2010 08:47 AM PDT  Last week, we reported not once, but twice about rumored upgrades to General Motors' popular OnStar service. Now, they're no longer rumors: the upgrades are coming, and they're coming soon. Well, probably. Most of today's news from GM centers around stuff we've already mentioned -- stuff which is now in a safety testing phase and will likely...

| Today in Car News: Toyota Recalls, BP and Hot-Rod Caskets Posted: 15 Sep 2010 07:30 AM PDT  Toyota is in federal court this week, trying to get all those sudden-acceleration lawsuits tossed. Our take: blaming Toyota for idiot drivers is like blaming Bugatti for choking Isadora Duncan. Isadora who? [Detroit News] It's a tale of the good, the bad, and the ugly, but mostly the latter two--small cars in America. [CarAndDriver] In the ugly...

| Today at High Gear Media: Focus ST, 911 GTS and SuperSnake Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:30 AM PDT  Topping the headlines today at High Gear Media: the hot 'n spicy version of the 2012 Ford Focus, the Paris Auto Show's own Focus ST. We can't wait until September 30. [MotorAuthority] We're also keen on seeing the new Porsche 911 GTS up close and personally, though we'll have to fend off the gawkers and eBay enthusiasts, no doubt. [MotorAuthority]...

| Update: Apple's iPad Does Fit in the 2011 Hyundai Equus Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:14 AM PDT  We've driven the 2011 Hyundai Equus a few times, and have come away impressed with the Korean automaker's first take on traditional, full-size luxury. Since we're poverty-stricken Apple fanboys, too--only $100 more for a phone that's locked to AT&T?--we geeked out over the announcement earlier this year that the Equus would come standard with...

| Hyundai Building New Headquarters in California Posted: 15 Sep 2010 05:13 AM PDT  Hyundai says it's firmly a California citizen this morning with the announcement of a new headquarters building in Orange County, Calif. Hyundai has been in Orange County since 1985, when it launched the brand in America with the Excel compact. The Korean automaker says it will spend $150 million to construct new offices on its existing compound...

| 2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: 2012 Ford Focus ST Confirmed For U.S. Posted: 14 Sep 2010 09:01 PM PDT  Ford is going global with the Focus, and by global, it means really global. That's right hot-hatch lovers, we're finally getting the Ford Focus ST right here on U.S. soil. The "early preview model" of the 2012 Focus ST hatchback will be on display September 30 at the Paris auto show. It will be joined by the sedan (revealed in Detroit this year)...
