Auto Industry Predictions: We're 3 for 4!
A new report from Comerica Bank shows that the average vehicle purchase, excluding finance costs, is $24,627, the lowest quarterly average in 2 1/2 years.

Chrysler pumped up about cheap gas
That groan at the gas pumps you hear is loud and clear: Americans want relief from high gas prices.
Earlier this year, Chrysler launched the automotive industry’s first online Customer Advisory Board to establish two-way dialogue within a closed social network. The Customer Advisory Board overwhelmingly advised that gas prices were a top concern.
