Checkmate, Totally agree. Looks like a proper, mean lookin' work truck. I even like the smaller wheels....and I'd definitely get the fog lights as an option.

There may have been other postings of this and I missed it. But I noticed in this photo, that there are fog lights in the lower part of the big chrome area of bumper. It seems to diminish the mass of this area a bit.

The Technical Studio TS07 has debuted at the Paris Show. It's a French company. It will be available in 4, 6 and 8 cyl powerplants.

I kept thinking where have I seen this...looked familiar. It has a similar look to the Chevy WTTC concept.

Renault Koleos concept at the Paris Auto Show. Renault is getting less and less weird. A decent looking SUV.

Ford Iosis X concept at the Paris Auto Show.

Mitsubishi Outlander concept at the Paris Auto Show. Nice looking SUV.

http://www.cruisecontrolradio.com/0906.cfm Les Jackson of Crusie Control Radio claims to have seen a photo of a production version of the new Camaro and that GM engineer Dr. Woychowski mentioned: 'don't be surprised if it's by this time next year'. Jackson said the photo he saw looked 'even better' than the concept. The September 25th epsiode is not on the site yet but should be soon.

Renault Twingo concept being shown at the Paris Auto Show. I'm starting to like the direction small cars are going in. Never used to like them. I like this one.

It kind of has a design language of crotch rockets and many snowmobiles. And that's a good thing.

Now that'd be worth getting.

http://www.detroityes.com/industry/18fisher.htm Feeling sad after viewing the immense decline of Detroit. It's beyond what I had imagined. Is it actually as bad there as the photos suggest?

I think this Chevy is fantastic! I like the 'disappearing' door with it's really nice integrated door handle. It says gtfoomw, I'm comin through.

OcnBlu you got it.......yep Paris.

Nope, not Detroit.

I thought Ford right away too. Great little concept. Still has potential.

The 1999 Chevrolet YGM1 concept. Surprisingly holds up well. This car looks like it was designed today.

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 World War II created health insurance perk Ron French / The Detroit News The fact that GM pays anything for health care is an accident of history. By the 1940s, health care costs in most industrialized nations were paid by the government. That might have happened in the United States, too, if not for World War II. To halt inflation during the war, the government put a cap on wage raises. To compensate workers, companies began offering health insurance. By the time the cap on raises was lifted, health insurance had become a common perk to attract and retain workers. In 1950, GM President Charles Wilson offered to pay 50 percent of the health care costs of his employees. Walter Reuther, national president of the United Auto Workers, initially resisted, believing the cost should be spread across many companies or across the nation, according to a biography of the union organizer. Reuther gave in, and GM entered the health care business. In 1961, retirees were included. Three years later, the company began paying 100 percent of health care bills for workers and retirees. Today, the United States is the only industrialized country in which most health care is paid for by employers. Ron French

Where was the very first auto show?

Here are the actual photos of the Chevrolet WTTC Ultra Concept: http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/newsI...oncept-revealed

Regarding the name Cee'd. Apparently Kia wanted something that people would remember and talk about. It's a loose representation of: European Community/European Design. And another symbolic intent was for this car to be the 'seed' of continued growth. So there you have it. In more detail: http://www.perrys.co.uk/kia/Kia-name-new-model-the-ceed

So in agreement. It just cries out to be a coupe. I'd be first in line until GM does something like this. Looks good with suicide doors too:

It's not to my tastes, but man, it's nice to see something different for this category of vanilla cars.

All that black plastic is unfortunate. It will probably only look good in darker colors. Too much contrast with white. It's an improvement on the current Vue though.

Could this be the new Saturn? http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=116895
