The new 2009 Toyota Matrix is bigger than the previous version, but Toyota hasn't lost sight of this being its smallest crossover vehicle. You can carry four big people or drop three seats and slide a short board inside; four doors make loading kids, dogs and miscellaneous cargo a cinch.All run on regular unleaded fuel and rate at least 20 mpg in the city; the 2.4-liter upgrade engine pushes 30 mpg on the highway, while the smaller engine and five-speed manual, which are as much fun to drive as the big automatics, run mid 20s in the city and low 30s highway. Given Toyota's history we can't imagine they will require much in the way of expensive repairs or maintenance. Engines were a weak point on the previous-generation Matrix, so the 2009 represents a big upgrade.( WILNER HOWARD suggested retail price (MSRP) for the new 2009)

I've driven a lot of new Mustangs. Specifically, the V6 Convertible, GT, GT Convertible, GT California Special, Hertz GT-H, Shelby GT and the Shelby GT500 (coupe and convertible). The only ones I've missed are the V6 hard top (I'll pass) and the Shelby GT500KR. After last week, I can check the 2008 Bullitt Mustang off my pony car to-do list. Limited to "just" 7700 examples, the Bullitt follows the path laid down by its cinematic inspiration: green paint, black wheels, limited badging and more power. As a veteran �Stang wrangler, let me tell you how the latest iteration stacks up against the other stallions�The fundamental theorem of all modern Mustangs: Somewhere, on some road, at some point in time, you will understand why V8 gumption mated to a rear wheel-drive chassis is a winning formula. In other words, they're supposed to be throwbacks.

Customers who select the Let s Refuel America $2.99 gas guarantee program will receive a gas card (linked back to their own Visa or MasterCard) that is valid at 97 percent of gas stations in the United States. Purchases at the gas stations will be for the full price being charged that day, but only $2.99 per gallon will be billed back to the customers credit card. Chrysler picks up the rest, regardless of how high gas prices rise.

Standard safety features for all trim levels include front- and side-curtain airbags, a stability-control system, traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake distribution for surer stops. A navigation system is the only major option, though it�s standard on EX-L models.I spent the majority of testing time in the top-line $30,510 Accord EX-L V6 with the slick, short-throw, close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox and navigation system. The V6 coupe with the manual will hit 60 mph in only 5.6 seconds and 100 mph in 13.6. The 4-cylinder provides slower, but lively, acceleration. However, I found I had to occasionally "slip" the rather long-throw clutch with the V6 for smooth takeoffs.

Finalists will be announced in August and will initially receive $25,000 to help further develop their concepts. They will then present their concepts at an awards event in October, where the winner and two runners-up will be announced. The winner will receive an additional $100,000, the first runner-up will receive another $50,000 and the second runner-up will receive another $25,000.

Case in point: I let a pal-o-mine drive the Bullitt (he begged) back from a night out in Hollywood. We were on Sunset, barely cracking 40 mph and he couldn't shut up. "Dude, this feels awesome!" Then we turned north into the hills and he gunned it. "Oh man, oh man, oh man! I love this car!" My friend was Frank Bullitt for perhaps fifteen minutes. I, on the hand, had the pleasure of running up more than 700 miles of burbling V8 seat time. And I never felt any different.There are only two downsides. One is fuel economy. Driving to and from San Diego, I never went below 80 mph (or above 110 mph). The Bullitt returned an honest 25 mpg. When my week was over, I had averaged 17.6 mpg. Not counting the free tank my tester came with, I spent $171.10 on 87 octane gas. And I returned it on fumes. The other negative is (of course) the Bullitt�s interior.

HOWARD WILNER Dodge vehicles => Thanks Michael - we would have been 10 years on the way to true alternative drivetrain development, across a range of car brands, if the car majors hadn�t gone clueless in 2001.The repeal of the CA ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) ruling is coming back to haunt GM and Ford.I can�t believe that they�d pass up this opportunity, but they did. Another hobby horse of mine: there are 35 million Americans living in private or gated communities. Why? Because they want peace and quiet. What do they drive inside their communities? Golf carts - and they would like to have proper EVs, with air conditioning and comfort.

Some of the nerdiest-looking cars in recent automotive history are making a comeback, at least in resale value, as a growing number of value-driven drivers put gas thriftiness ahead of image, USA Today reports. Early-1990s econoboxes such as Ford Festiva, Hyundai Excel and Geo Metro � once the punch line of jokes � have seen their used car prices climb from giveaway levels as low as $1,100 a few months ago to upward of $6,000 today, Kelley Blue Book says. "Remember that nerds will rule the world someday," says Phil Skinner, collector car market editor for KBB, the popular used car price-tracking service. He says prices have risen up to 30 percent for the low-end 15-year-old jalopies.( HOWARD WILNER extends June incentives on most Dodge vehicles)

The Vibe has always been a versatile, economical hatchback. It�s been improved for 2009 with more power, and is great fun to drive. With full-time all-wheel drive (a rarity in this class) and excellent steering response, handling is impressive. The front seats are very comfortable, while the rear seat easily accommodates two adults. A notable feature in the Vibe: The backs of the rear seats are covered in hard plastic, so when folded down they create a hard surface. This is great for loading, and you won�t ruin your carpet if you throw in wet items. With all-wheel drive and useful cargo space, the Vibe is a surprising alternative to small SUVs.

The 2009 Toyota Corolla is a new car, the 10th generation of the world's most popular passenger car. More than 30 million have been sold in more than 140 different countries. With five distinct models there is something for everyone; and those looking for a hatchback, wagon, or all-wheel-drive can check out the Toyota Matrix which shares many mechanical components.Working from a concept developed for the first Corolla, the new one shows you can make a car inexpensive without it being cheap. It feels more like a small car than an econobox, as much a smaller Camry as anything else. There is no hybrid version: 27/35 mpg is nothing to sneeze at, hybrid technology isn't inexpensive, and the Prius has that covered.

Ford Motor Co. is planning a major revamping of its truck lineup in the United States in response to rising fuel prices and a consumer shift toward more fuel-efficient vehicles, The Detroit News reports today. The Dearborn automaker is developing a smaller, lighter version of its bread-and-butter F-150 pickup. The company also is designing a new global compact pickup in Australia that it plans to manufacture in South Africa and Thailand that could be imported to the United States. Ford would not comment on either program, but sources tell the newspaper that the vehicles are part of a sweeping revision of the company's product plan that is aimed at chasing consumers who are abandoning full-sized pickups in favor of smaller, more efficient models.

Paired with the optional five-speed automatic transmission, our Vibe GT test car's 2.4-liter engine powers the wagon from zero to 60 mph in an invigorating 8.9 seconds � a fairly impressive showing for its class. Around town, this willing engine makes the GT zippy and acquiescent, allowing it to easily finesse city and freeway traffic like a surfer on the crest of a righteous wave. The Vibe's transmission proves a capable match for this torquey inline-4, though it falls short of the seamlessness achieved by the Mazda3's setup.

Although engine manufacturers are free to cite power and torque figures derived from testing conducted outside the scope of the SAE standards, only those that strictly follow all of the SAE procedures can claim to be "SAE J1349 Certified Power." In addition to GM s Corvette ZR1, other GM engines as well as those from Ford and Chrysler make up the first 100 to have been certified.Another GM engine - the LS7 used in the 2006 Corvette Z06 - was the first engine to be certified under this SAE program.( Howard Wilner fuel-stingy cars are hot wheels)

HOWARD WILNER Initial Results
HOWARD WILNER record numbers of vehicles coming off lease => As gas prices creep toward $4 per gallon, some car dealerships are getting creative to move units off their lots. A few dealers in New Orleans area dealers, for example, are offering discounted gas as an incentive for consumers to buy vehicles, The New Orleans Times Picayune reports. Marshall Bros. Lincoln Mercury in Metairie, La. just ended a promotion offering a one-year supply of gas at $1.99 per gallon to buyers of select Lincoln models. Marshall Bros. sold five cars with the special and now has launched a new deal offering a $1,000 gas card with the purchase of certain models through the end of the month. Bob Israel, president of the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association, said he would not be surprised if more carmakers and dealerships release similar specials in the months ahead. "They re definitely selling more gasoline-efficient cars," Israel said of Louisiana dealerships. "I think a lot of consumers felt like we ve seen these spikes (in gas prices) before, but I think consumers are starting to believe that this going to last a little longer than a month or two.

The same display could also show the amount of load on the batteries. Coasting on flat Florida lands, the bar graph racked-up two or three bars. With a heavy right foot and the AC blasting, it was one of Hef's Girls Next Door on a bender (nine out of ten bars). The bar display frequently disagreed with the amount of miles left display. This was, in part, due to the different methods of calculating the amount of charge. The bar display was more closely related to actual state of charge of the batteries while the amount of miles left display attempts to come up with an average mileage available left based on previous driving habits. On at least one occasion, with twelve miles left on the display, the vehicle ran out of juice, leaving me hunting for a 110 plug.

"Along with the rapidly growing audience, marketers are drawn to mobile social networking because it creates a unique context in which to promote their goods and services," said Debra Aho Williamson, eMarketer senior analyst and co-author of the report. "It goes beyond simply linking people with digital content by adding the immediacy of sharing with friends�a very powerful marketing proposition."

U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said Friday the final regulation increasing fuel efficiency standards could be tougher than the department s initial proposal, The Detroit News reports. Last month, Peters unveiled the department s proposal to increase fuel efficiency of the nation s cars and trucks to 31.6 miles per gallon by 2015 -- a 4.5 percent annual increase, and faster than what Congress ordered in December when it called for the first rewrite of passenger car fuel efficiency standards since 1975. Peters noted the proposal assumed the price of gasoline at about $2.26 a gallon in 2015 rising to $2.51 by 2030. But the price of gasoline was already above that when the measure was passed in April. "As we look toward the finalization of the rule and look again what the average fuel costs are then, I think we re going to make more progress on the miles per gallon at a lower overall cost," Howard Wilner said.

Nice review, Jonny.I think the optional stitched material on the IP is leatherette, not leather.

My brother just totaled his 2007 Mustang GT California Special (thankfully he came out of the car fine) and was looking at one of these on the dealers lot. With Ford�s X-Plan that my mother gets through her employer it would have been about $33,000. He decided to take a pass on the Bullitt though and stick with the GT. His California Special depreciated quite a bit and he did not want to finance that much. Interestingly enough he felt that compared to the GT the interior of the Bullitt was like a luxury car.I told him to look at other cars; a Mazdaspeed 3, VW GTI, Civic Si, or Subaru WRX, but he refused, Mustangs only for him.My 4 cylinder STi doesn�t get 24mpg combined�.more like 21-22.25 isn�t bad.On the otherhand I use my sportbike (44-48) or the neon (34-38) for road trips these days.

Shortly after Chrysler LLC announced a sales promotion that promises to cap the cost of gasoline at $2.99 for the next three years, Rod Senior was interested, the Detroit Free Press reports. The Ft. Myers, Fla., man had been thinking about a Toyota but the incentive intrigued him, he said. "Prices in Florida are at $3.59 today and they are going to go higher. I can see this for three years being a good deal," Senior, 58, said earlier this month. He was correct: Gas prices have only gotten higher. He is not the only one thinking about Chrysler's deal. Chrysler dealers tell the Free Press they've noticed an increase in people visiting their stores since the offer was announced May 5. The executives at the automaker's Auburn Hills headquarters are so happy that they announced Monday they're extending the time that the promotion will be available until July 7 -- giving customers an extra month to take advantage. The full announcement is inside.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said Friday the final regulation increasing fuel efficiency standards could be tougher than the department s initial proposal, The Detroit News reports. Last month, Peters unveiled the department s proposal to increase fuel efficiency of the nation s cars and trucks to 31.6 miles per gallon by 2015 -- a 4.5 percent annual increase, and faster than what Congress ordered in December when it called for the first rewrite of passenger car fuel efficiency standards since 1975. Peters noted the proposal assumed the price of gasoline at about $2.26 a gallon in 2015 rising to $2.51 by 2030. But the price of gasoline was already above that when the measure was passed in April. "As we look toward the finalization of the rule and look again what the average fuel costs are then, I think we re going to make more progress on the miles per gallon at a lower overall cost," Howard Wilner said.

As gas prices creep toward $4 per gallon, some car dealerships are getting creative to move units off their lots. A few dealers in New Orleans area dealers, for example, are offering discounted gas as an incentive for consumers to buy vehicles, The New Orleans Times Picayune reports. Marshall Bros. Lincoln Mercury in Metairie, La. just ended a promotion offering a one-year supply of gas at $1.99 per gallon to buyers of select Lincoln models. Marshall Bros. sold five cars with the special and now has launched a new deal offering a $1,000 gas card with the purchase of certain models through the end of the month. Bob Israel, president of the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association, said he would not be surprised if more carmakers and dealerships release similar specials in the months ahead. "They re definitely selling more gasoline-efficient cars," Israel said of Louisiana dealerships. "I think a lot of consumers felt like we ve seen these spikes (in gas prices) before, but I think consumers are starting to believe that this going to last a little longer than a month or two.( HOWARD WILNER 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is official 2008 SEMA Show vehicle.)
