Style to Move Jeep Forward

If Sergio Marchionne were taking time out from running an automobile empire to record a rap tune, he might begin with the phrase “haters gonna hate”. I say this because he is about to blow up the Jeep brand design aesthetic. It is not as though the traditional seven-slot grill is gone, but it is bent – some may say melted. The lights are still there, but they are pinched on top; with auxiliary lights on the bottom riffing on the juke’s setup.

The Liberty nameplate looks like it is being mothb…

Besides a more comprehensive and higher-resolution image gallery, Toyota also published the first video of the car on the move and initial specifications. It only takes a quick look at the pictures to see that the FT-86 Open is more of a pre-production model than a concept, something th…

A Brand New FIAT Gives You the Freedom To Move and Room To Evolve

A new FIAT model recently debuted at the 2013 LA Auto Show – the 2014 FIAT 500 L. The ‘L’ stands for Large, and FIAT has announced this model will arrive in showrooms in summer of 2013. This will be an important model for FIAT. Sales of the small 500 hatchbacks and 500c convertible have been underperforming, so the bigger, more practical 500L is extremely critical to the auto maker’s success in North America.

The ‘L’ model is the first US FIAT model with five doors. While it still will…

New Car: 2013 Daihatsu Move

Reports indicate that the system employs a laser to detect obstacles in front of the car, and applies the brake automatically to avoid a collision. The facelift features four grade variants, these being the L, L”SA” as well as the X and X”SA…

In Search Of An Identity, Mazda Plans To Move Upscale

2014 Mazda6 – image: Mazda
For decades, Japanese automaker Mazda has been known for building cars that are fun to drive. Even if you discount the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the world’s best-selling sports car, the brand has still given enthusiasts cars like the Cosmos, the RX-2 & 3, the RX-7, the RX-8, the Mazdaspeed3 and the Mazdaspeed6. The sad truth of the matter is that enthusiasts are in the minority, and Mazda currently enjoys a scant two-percent global market share.
As Mazda’s CEO, Takashi…

Will Fiat’s World Headquarters Move to Michigan?

“It is always good when a man has two irons in the fire.” –Francis and Fletcher, John Beaumont, The Faithful Friends, Act 1.
While there’s certainly something to be said for the value of multitasking (though studies have proven that the human brain actually cannot focus on more than one task at a time), Sergio Marchionne has proven that it’s very difficult to juggle management of two multinational automobile companies as he shuttles between Chrysler and Fiat.

Few wou…
