Pop-Ups, Pre-Fabs, and DIY: Branding for a New Economy

Tucker Viemeister — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:17:11 -0500

A few weeks ago, Marc Fitten, editor of the Chattahoochee Review, wrote an op-ed called "Our Cars, Ourselves" in The New York Times that said this: "GM left its Atlanta plant to rot. So I left my GM loyalty behind." GM is an example of how branding is changing in this post-economic era.

Fisker Buys Old GM Plant to Make 'Project Nina,' a $40K EV for Families

Kit Eaton — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:24:10 -0400

We've gotten excited about Fisker's Karma electric car before--it's dashingly attractive for an eco-friendly vehicle. But Fisker will only make a big dent in carbon emissions if it makes a family car. Which it will now do in Delaware.

GM-Backed Coskata Breaks Ground on Feedstock-Flexible Ethanol Facility

Ariel Schwartz — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:54:30 -0400

What if we could quickly and cheaply make ethanol using any cellulosic feedstock, including wood chips and construction waste? That's exactly what Coskata claims it can do with its new semi-commercial flex ethanol facility, launched last week in Madison, Pennsylvania.

GM Sells Hummer to Chinese

Chris Dannen — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:54:56 -0400

GM's Hummer division, once the conspicuous symbol of American over-consumption, was sold to the Chinese today, reports the AP. The sale price was not disclosed, but the rumor mill puts the figure at $150 million. That's a lot less than the $500 million valuation GM gave during its bankruptcy proceedings this past summer.

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse Vs. 2009 Lexus ES 350 in Miami

Brickell Motors — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:32:12 -0400

The fact is many people relate a Buick to their grandfathers old car but the truth is times are changing and so has the new 2010 Buick Lacrosse. For over a decade, Lexus has been quietly reaping the rewards of a luxury sedan that offers comfortable seating and at a reasonable price. Buick has now joined the game with its offering of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, starting at a base price of $33,765.

Strategic vs. Traditional Investors: The Lowdown From a Venture Capital Vet

Paul H. Lee, Senior Vice President, Peacock Equity Fund — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:06:51 -0400

Every so often, I hear an early-stage venture capitalist warn a roomful of entrepreneurs about the pitfalls of taking money from strategic investors. There's too much influence involved or strings attached, or there are misaligned incentives. The end result is usually lower valuations in the next round, lower acquisition price, lower IPO range, etc.

Is Apology By Toyota Prexy Disingenuous?

Chris Dannen — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:46:15 -0400

This morning Toyota President Akio Toyoda apologized profusely to the Japanese people for making vehicles that have not excited domestic buyers. He was also contrite over the company's projected loss of $5 billion for the year, and for a recent floor-mat recall prompted by the deaths of four people in San Diego. But Toyota, which overtook GM as the world's largest automaker last year, is still much better off than any American car company. Can our auto execs learn from Mr. Toyoda's regrets? (Below, the popular Toyota Prius.)

Chris Dannen — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:53:47 -0400

Many of our most promising electric cars have parts--or entire assemblies--being built in China. But when it comes to the most important (and most expensive) component, EV companies may turn to American manufacturers.
