Is this the 2012 Dodge Hornet 40 mpg coming at the end of the year?

The 2012 Dodge 40 mpg vehicle test mule has been spotted all over Detroit. Is this what the design will look like? If so this will be a hot seller and with all the versatility of the Fiat/Chrysler line up of engines this car will have great possibilities. You could see a high gas mileage or a super sport turbo charged speedster.

Ford owes $23 Billion to The Banks Sales Down 16%

Everyone applauded Ford for not taking any Government loans.....

Well it's because months before the calapse they mortgaged the entire company for $23Billion dollars.

Now Ford has 3 Times the Debt of GM / Chrysler, no wage concessions from the UAW and Sales down 15.9% from last year. (it's worst year in 40 Years)

They are pinning there hopes on the New Focus and Festiva. Which are not bad, but they are a Focus and Festiva, you've already done that.

The Fusion, Taurus, Escape, lack emotion in design and already appear dated.

The Mustang is still a favorite and makes a nice rent-a-car.

Even the Ford flagship F150 is dated and weak compared to the GM Sierra and Dodge Ram trucks.

Well at least they have the Ford Transit.....Joke

Nissan, Chrysler cancel deal | The Detroit News

Nissan Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC have dropped their plans to produce vehicles for each other.

The two automakers agreed early last year to pool their volumes in the full-size pickup and subcompact segments, but doubts about the projects arose after Chrysler teamed up with Italy's Fiat SpA.

"For the past several months, teams from both companies have been studying the viability of the projects in light of significant changes in business conditions since the projects were announced," the two automakers said in a joint statement.

"Today, it was decided it was in the best interests of both companies to end the projects."

Last year, before Chrysler joined forces with Fiat, it agreed to produce a full-size pickup for Nissan, while the Japanese automaker agreed to make two subcompacts for Chrysler.

But Fiat, a small car specialist, will provide Chrysler with small-car underpinnings and sell at least one of its own cars, the 500, in the United States.
