GM officially bankrupt

GM finally enters Chapter 11 Bankruptcy The US Government is to provide £30 billion to fund the transition, with GM being split in to ‘Old GM’ and ‘New GM’. In exchange for the money the US Government will take a 60% stake in ‘New GM’ with all the toxic assets and liabilities being disposed of through ‘Old GM’. The restructuring will allow GM to survive on a third less sales than before (10 million instead of 15 million).

Junction auto-brake for next Volvo XC90

THE NEXT Volvo XC90 will be able to brake itself if its driver attempts to pull out in front of an oncoming car, as one of two world-first safety innovations. This auto-brake technology detects whether an approaching car is technically on a collision course and will hit the stoppers to prevent a possible accident. However, there is no mention of an increased risk of rear-end collisions where drivers following the XC90 might also accelerate, not expecting the Volvo to stop suddenly.

Citroën DS Wild Rubis concept

The Citroën DS Wild Rubis concept is the French manufacturer's foray into the premium SUV market, to be shown at the Shanghai auto show next Saturday. At 4,700mm long it's slightly larger than a BMW X3 or Audi Q5, with a particularly generous wheelbase of 2,900mm, presumably to offer the rear passengers a little more space - major consideration in China. It was designed in the DS studio in France, something the company is keen to promote given China's desire for chic European luxury goods.
