|
Karl Benz is getting the short end of the stick now that all of the hot-rod Mercs are moving under the Mercedes-AMG umbrella—a transition that began with the new AMG GT—but he might be happy to know that his name still exists on the hood emblem.

| Electric Youth: Ford’s 1967 Comuta EV Concept Was a City Car for Swinging London |
Aug 7th, 2015 |
|
If one has a tendency to follow the big international auto shows, one event in particular stands out when it comes to exotic or unconventional debuts: Geneva.

|
From the August 2015 issue Trademark erosion may not impact the environment, but marketers have noted the lexicographical slide of some brand names into generic labels. Kleenex, Band-Aid, Xerox, and Zamboni (yes, other companies make ice-resurfacing equipment) all underwent the transformation, and Honda’s VTEC, or Variable Timing and lift Electronic Control, teeters on the edge […]

This spring Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne called out the auto industry for the staggering amount of money it wastes in the design and manufacture of cars.

Aug 7th, 2015 |
|
Take a gander at Mazda’s lineup and two cars stand out—and not in a particularly youthful way. The current-generation Mazda 2 came to us in 2011, already midway through its life cycle. And the surprisingly still-satisfying CX-9 three-row crossover is a dinosaur holdover from Mazda’s FoMoCo days. We’ve already been told the new global Mazda […]
