| Spy Photos of Lexus’s Production Version LF-Ch Posted: 19 Jan 2010 11:40 AM PST
Carscoop has photos of what seems to be a production model of the Lexus LF-Ch hatchback. The car made its debut at last year’s Frankfurt motor show. Lexus made it clear they would build the five-door car when Andy Pfeiffenberger, vice president of Lexus Europe, said “Let me stress you are not looking at a market study. This LF-Ch concept is a clear indication of our entry plans for the compact premium segment in the near future, with the world’s first ever premium compact, full hybrid.” |
| Scion Considering a Small Pickup Truck (Again) Posted: 19 Jan 2010 09:17 AM PST
The compact pickup truck segment of the auto market has been in a weird place lately. It wasn’t so long ago that it seemed like every manufacturer was fighting over who had the most youthful, appealing, “cool” small pickup. Since the early 2000’s though, competition in the segment has dropped and stumbled, leaving only two real competitors for the small truck king; the very dated Ford Ranger, and the current sales king, the Toyota Tacoma. Rumors have been swirling about the Ranger’s demise for years now, and perhaps Toyota smells blood. The Japanese brand is said to be considering a small pickup truck for its floundering Scion brand. |
| Chevy Volt Will Sell In Low 30’s and be Profitable: GM CEO Posted: 19 Jan 2010 07:50 AM PST
The Chevy Volt is in many ways GM’s flagship into the future. Many people are critical of the car, saying it doesn’t go far enough on electric power. Others are critical of its cost, which—between media speculation and hints from GM execs—has ranged from below $30,000 to more than $40,000 before tax breaks. In the past, even GM has seemed rather resigned to lose money when the Volt first comes out, rather than expect to turn a profit. But in a recent interview with GM-Volt.com, GM CEO Ed Whitacre revealed that GM will sell the Volt in the low $30,000 range, and they will make money off of it. Imagine that… GM making money! |
