  1. Best of 2007: Rumble Seat

    With the race for techno-smart, fuel-burning machines at a fevered pitch, 2007 was a banner year for auto-related headlines. On the flip side, pricy luxury sedans and sports cars received loads of accolades and attention despite their fuel-guzzling ways.

  2. The sport's gone from this wagon

    IF you do any research on the new Dodge Caliber, you'll run into a curious example of duck speak, a kind of echo-chamber thinking to the effect that the Neon — the Schmoo-styled compact sedan that the Caliber replaces after more than a decade in...

  4. Achtung, Bel-Air

    EUROPE is on a war footing. A walk around the sprawling Messe Frankfurt complex, home of the city's International Auto Show, reveals how deadly serious European regulators are about curbing greenhouse-gas emissions, at least relative to the laissez faire...

  5. To the rescue

    I anthropomorphize cars. I can't help it. Some overly empathetic fold in my brain wants to make a steel-and-glass thing into a character, a persona, an avatar, a material semblance of the people and the company that built it. If you've walked through as many car factories as I have, you won't forget that behind even the most unlovely and unloved vehicle there are 1,000 people pulling their guts out to make it great, and trying to keep their jobs besides. For a critic, all this is supposed to be inadmissible evidence -- what matters is the thing itself -- and yet, I'd have to be made of stone not to register the desperate circumstances from which some vehicles emerge.

  6. 2008 Scion xB -- Boxy trumps foxy

    I suppose others have a more highly refined sense of aesthetics, but I just can't get behind the debate over the old vs. new Scion xB, the funky five-seat space wagon sold by Toyota's Gen Y-oriented brand. Aren't they both ugly?

  7. For the Civic-minded

    IN the two years since I began working for the Los Angeles Times, hybrid automotive technology has matured dramatically. I can't say as much for the automotive consumer. In a strange analog to the culture wars over abortion and gay marriage, a debate...

  8. 'Who Killed the Electric Car?'

    Chicago Tribune
    Given the problems wrought on the planet by the oil industry, geo-politics and massive pollution, it would be a dream come true if some inventor and auto company could come up with an electric car that runs on batteries, doesn't consume fossil fuel and...

  9. There's somethin' fishy going on

    Automotive critic Dan Neil can be reached at dan.neil@latimes.com.
    THE crossroads of government regulation and car design has seen some nasty pileups. Please avert your eyes from the 1981 Fiat X 1/9, in the early days of 5-mph bumper regulations, which forced Bertone to bracket the edgy little car with moronic rubber...

  10. Married with children?

    ALTHOUGH Mazda avoids the term like the Florida GOP avoids Katherine Harris, the Mazda5 is indisputably a minivan — a three-row, six-passenger vehicle with sliding doors along the fuselage. Given this morphology, what else could you call it? The...

  11. Good News, Bad News

    HIS nickname is M.K., but you can call him Johnny Drama. On Monday, Chung Mong-koo — the imperious, quality-obsessed chairman of Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, who in seven years transformed the sleepy South Korean company into an automaking...

  12. A real roadster in its blood

    THE Saturn Sky — the celestially seasoned version of the Pontiac Solstice roadster — reminds us that there is no idea so good that GM won't toss it in a burlap sack and beat it with reeds. Such a notion was the Saturn Corp. Set up in the...
