Chrysler&#8217;s new CEO, Sergio Marchionne, has said that he intends to conduct a thorough study of Chrysler&#8217;s portfolio that will likely result in not only the adjustment of prices and equipment, but also in the slicing of under-performing models &#8211; which could mean the end of the road for at least four of the automaker&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

As a successor to the 147, Alfa Romeo will release the brand-new 149 later this year. Though our spies have nabbed the 149 in camouflaged form, they can&#8217;t legally penetrate Alfa Romeo&#8217;s factories &#8211; but a Facebook user and Alfa Romeo enthusiast has, giving us what are believed to be genuine photographs of the undisguised [...]]]></description>

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro may be Americana summed up on four-wheels, but the modern day muscle is reportedly headed for the European market.  General Motors had been on the fence about sending the Camaro to Europe, but the popular pony car will spearhead the Chevrolet brand’s product expansion on the other side of the [...]]]></description>

The sale of GM&#8217;s assets to a new corporate entity was approved Sunday night by a bankruptcy judge in New York, ahead of a July 10th deadline imposed by the U.S. Treasury. Judge Robert Gerber wrote in his ruling the sale will allow GM&#8217;s healthy assets to avoid &#8220;immediate and irreparable harm.&#8221;

The ruling marks another [...]]]></description>

Now that a federal court has divided up &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;bad&#8221; assets from General Motors, the so-called New GM says it plans to exit bankruptcy by the end of this week.

&#8220;We expect the sale to close immediately after the appeal process is exhausted later this week, and for the new GM to be operational and [...]]]></description>

The refuted report – published July 1st – claimed Toyota was mulling building its own version of Mercedes’ A- and B-Class vehicles and that the two automakers were considering co-development of their flagship models.
