Ford is rediscovering the power of car design after a long period in which boxy SUVs and pickups dominated the lineup. In the five years prior to 2003, Ford launched just one all-new car in North America, the Focus, which was designed and engineered in Europe. Now it's all about cars--even in pickup design. Ford's latest concept truck, the F-250 Super Chief, was created with the comforts of a car in mind; the rear seats were "inspired by spacious club chairs," the company says...
...parking attendant said it best. "Doesn't look like a Pontiac," he noted as we pulled into a Manhattan garage in a silver Solstice-the all-new convertible roadster with the curvy looks and fun-loving attitude. Pontiac's fleet has undergone an extensive makeover, seven new vehicles in the past two years, from the G6 to the GTO, that emphasize style and higher performance.

Will Mitsubishi's new pocket rocket, the 263-h.p. Eclipse GT, jump-start sales at Japan's most troubled automaker? The car hit dealerships this summer, lofted by strong reviews, and it leads a blitz of all-new models coming over the next two years.

...years, the cart has been before the horse in U.S. space policy. NASA has been attempting complex missions involving many astronauts without first developing an affordable and dependable means to orbit. The emphasis now must be on designing an all-new system that is lower priced and reliable. And if human space flight stops for a decade while that happens, so be it. Once there is a cheaper and safer way to get people and cargo into orbit, talk of grand goals might become reality. New, less-expensive throwaway rockets would allow NASA to launch more space probes...
...well as a voice line (you remember those, right?). Ditto for Verizon's newest RIM BlackBerry, the 7250. And there are variations on the Windows Mobile theme: the UTStarcomm/Audiovox XV6600 with Bluetooth and a connection to Verizon's super-fast EVDO data network (known as BroadbandAccess), and the all-new Samsung i730, which takes all of that and adds a Wi-Fi connection...
