		<description><![CDATA[
Over the past week I’ve needed to order several vehicles for clients.  That’s a bit unusual; during the past two decades, I’ve normally been able to get what someone wants either through one of the dealer fleet departments I work with on a regular basis, or by having them do a ‘dealer trade’ to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 1980s Audi was almost bankrupted by media frenzy about ‘sudden acceleration’.  By the time 60 Minutes and other news outlets sheepishly admitted the truth—that the condition didn’t actually exist and that the fault was with the drivers, not the cars—it was almost too late.  It took two decades for Audi’s sales [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the turn of the century the ‘Big 3’ were riding high: huge sales and even grosser profits drove Chrysler, Ford, and GM to think they could do no wrong—or that whatever sins they did commit would be washed away in a flood of black ink.

Americans were in love with SUVs and trucks, and drunk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were some fascination contrasts on display the first day at Detroit.  It started with Ford; not only did they sweep the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards with the Fusion Hybrid and Transit Connect, but their unveiling of the new Focus was unmatched by any pomp and circumstance that followed.

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to sunny Detroit!  Tomorrow the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) begins.  Most of us motoring writers—or ‘Muttering rotters’ as the late, great English journalist Phil Llewellyn dubbed his cohorts—just call it the Detroit Show and get on with it.
Tonight Suzuki and Infiniti try to grab some good will by hosting pre-parties, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we’ve discussed, dealers typically buy fewer cars between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.  Then they pull out their checkbooks in January, as consumers start spending in earnest.  Those trends look set to continue this winter as well, and the result will be strong used car prices.
Other factors driving this trend include smaller ex-rental [...]]]></description>

In theory Volvo gets lots of money to continue its comeback and the new owners get access to loads of cutting edge tech [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GM’s deal to sell Saab to tiny supercar maker Koenigsegg fell through recently, and the chances don’t look good that they’ll find a new buyer, which means Saab will be shuttered.  I, for one, am sad.  I have fond memories of our ’76 Saab 99; though it needed fairly constant upkeep—like most European [...]]]></description>

Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles
And warm woolen mittens…
These are a few of my favorite things
Since scraping ice off your windshield at 6am isn’t one of anyone’s favorite things about winter, I had planned to make life a little easier for my better half, by adding a remote start system [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read an essay in Foreign Affairs magazine by Edward L. Morse, a very respected specialist on oil and energy markets.  His well-researched and logical thesis is that the price of oil may stay low for the medium term, especially if the government makes some smart decisions in the near future.
What’s behind his [...]]]></description>
