- When Car Designs Were Art, And It Wasn't That Long Ago, They Were Cool. Chevy's Billboards Show Off Old Art
There's a great set of billboard art that is making the internet rounds. Don't know if they are actual billboard signs up in Detroit - but they should be. The one's we've seen are all Chevy and - like a rock - that kind of makes sense....
- Cadillac Charges And Mitsubishi Goes Mousey
One way to measure car manufacturing plans is to count platforms. And when you do that, it looks like Cadillac is planning to charge ahead and Mitsubishi plans to cut back production big time on its Eclipse and Spyder models. A car's "platform" is...
- 244 Mpg And 125 Mph For 220 Miles
Miles per gallon finally matters on Main Street. And it couldn't have come at a better time for Tesla. We've talked before about high mileage cars that were, for the most part, on the drawing board of lots of independent builders who were scrambling...
- "no Tire" Tires From Michelin
What Michelin touts as the next generation of motor vehicle tires was on display at the Philadelphia Car Show recently and causing quite a buzz. No air, no flats, no repair kits, and no stopping them either, here are some pictures. From an engineering...
- Maybe No One Killed The Electric Car?
Not that long ago people were talking about Who Killed the Electric Car? with a lot of suspicion thrown GM's way. Well, maybe it wasn't true after all. Or maybe their conscience got the best of 'em inside that Boardroom? GM's Vice Chairman...

Detroit Auto Show Ends
For a nicely done and thorough review of the Detroit Auto Show, check out TheAutoChannel wrap up article by Steve Purdy.
He takes the time, and has the experience, to contrast each maker's display with their past work and noted the lack of flash this year. He also has some good thoughts on the new models and concepts that were shown and I agree completely that the Cadillac Converj was the best looking thing at the show. Too bad it's just a concept car for now. If the Chevy Volt takes off though, it could give the Caddy model a well-deserved jolt toward production.
Meanwhile Tesla and Fisker made their first appearance at the show, with their electric cars that are pricey but good looking and highly desirable. Both have their pricey cars in production and if you've got enough green in your wallet you can have their green in your driveway. The Fisker S is a remarkable electric machine and won Detroit News' best electric vehicle vote at the show.
But the car-you-can-have-right-now to beat all cars at the show, was the bright red, race-track worthy Audi R8 V10. To call it a "super sports car" is an understatement. Made of all aluminum and magnesium under its skin, the Audi R8 was probably the most technologically advanced car at the show and looks more than capable of flight on wheels. These cars are available right now and every once in a rare while (mostly in California) you'll see one on the road.
Check out Steve Purdy's article for more details. It's well worth the read if you love cars. Even though we're lemon lawyers, we too love a well built car. One of these days, maybe that'll be the way they're all built. Until then, if you've got a lemon car or a lemon truck, call us or email us. We know how to get you a new one or your money back. It's what we've been doing since 1978.

Because life is too short to put up with a bad car.
