Chrysler's product plan: Tweaks, then tidal wave

Chrysler Group's product renaissance is a drama in two acts. First, the company is breathing new life into its existing lineup.

E85 makes inroads on cost and availability

Three years ago, we embarked on a Midwest road trip in search of what was then the Holy Grail of fuel: E85. Our findings weren't too positive--there were far more E85-compatible vehicles on the road in 2006 (5 million) than there were E85 pumps to fuel them (about 700 out of some 200,000 fuel stations nationwide).

Map-reading driver gets ban and hefty fine

AN ELDERLY driver has been fined more than £1,000 and banned for a year after he was caught reading a map at the wheel.

The car caught the attention of a camera operator when it began to wander across the white line of the overtaking lane.
