Who Killed the Electric Car
Urban Legend or Prime Suspect?
Part-Time Ownership, Full-Time Savings
Why own a car full-time when you drive it only part-time, sometimes very part-time? From this question a business model has emerged, fueling a revolution of sorts in car ownership and operation. A small revolution, perhaps, but growing: It's called car sharing.
Do Hybrids Make Financial Sense Yet
There are many good reasons to buy a hybrid. Saving money still isn't one of them.
Diesel Reborn
After a promising start, the diesel's fortunes sputtered. Today its future is bright — and clean.
Honda's Breakthrough Heats Up the Race for Clean Diesel Vehicles
Honda Motors latest development in diesel technology puts the carmaker well ahead of the pack in the race to bring clean diesel vehicles to market. Its next-generation diesel engine uses a catalytic converter requiring no additives of any kind and will run cleaner through its new design.
As of January 2007, all diesel passenger vehicles sold in the United States are required to meet the same Environmental Protection Agency Tier II Bin 5 emission standards governing all gasoline vehicles. This requires auto manufacturers to significantly reduce the particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) that escape their car's tailpipes. While particulate traps significantly reduce PM, most manufacturers of diesel engines are still struggling with a way to clean up their NOx emissions.

Plug-In Hybrids
Wouldn't it be nice if you had your own gas pump right in your garage? And what if gas from your personal pump cost less than $1 a gallon?
Sound impossible? Actually, that scenario might unfold if plug-in hybrid cars become a reality. Even better, a plug-in hybrid could be recharged by home roof-top photovoltaic panels so your fuel would be completely "off the grid" (not generated by a power plant).
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) have been in development for years and deliver amazing efficiency while slashing emissions. But while lagging battery technology has kept them from going mainstream, that could be changing very soon.

Inexpensive portable navigation systems and even cheaper smartphone nav applications are making the pricey in-dash systems offered by automakers less attractive to many consumers. But some people prefer in-dash systems because of their larger screens and because they offer more features. Plus, you never have to worry about forgetting an in-dash system at home. Finally, prices for in-dash systems are starting to drop.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows two compatible devices to communicate. In the car, it lets you operate a mobile phone "hands-free," meaning you don't have to hold the device while making or taking a call or performing such functions as accessing the phone's address book. (Of course, you have to use your hands to operate certain Bluetooth features via the vehicle's controls.)
Automotive sound systems are more complex now that portable media players, hard-disk drives and smartphones are along for the ride. But the basic radio/speaker setup hasn't drastically changed, even though more speakers and more amplifier power have been added over the years.

Sales of Ford vehicles increased 13.3 percent in June compared to the same month last year, and the gain was largely spurred by a strong showing by the carmaker’s Super Duty pickup trucks.
