...western almost anywhere. The better pulp magazines--Dime Western, Zane Grey's Western, Ten-Story Western--paid 2¢ a word, which, for a 5,000-word story, was 100 bucks. In the '50s, that wasn't too bad, and anyway, I had a day job at the time writing Chevrolet ads. I would get up in the morning at 5 and write fiction for two hours. I had a rule that I had to start writing before I put the water on for coffee, or else I might never...
...Daewoo, under CEO Nick Reilly, is now being resurrected as a low-cost manufacturing base for GM's own brands and for those of its Japanese partner Suzuki. In the U.S., Daewoo makes the compact Chevrolet Aveo and Suzuki Forenza, and it also exports to China, India, Latin America and Europe. In 2004, the company produced 900,000 cars?three times the output when GM took over?and this year, Reilly expects sales to top 1 million. Daewoo's work force has increased by 4,000 in the last two years...
...movies. Now General Motors says a Chinese firm knocked off an entire vehicle--and Americans could soon start buying its cars. A unit of GM last month filed a lawsuit in Shanghai accusing Chery Automobile Co., the Chinese automaker, of filching production-line blueprints for a compact car, the Chevrolet Spark, which GM says cost "hundreds of millions of dollars" to develop. Chery's car, called the QQ, does indeed look like an identical twin to the Spark and comes in candy colors designed for Chinese women drivers.

While sales of traditional SUVs stalled during the first seven months of this year (or were propped up by generous incentives), those of the crossover clan were up a sizzling 18.5% over 2003. Characteristic of the breed are versatile models like the all-new 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, powered by a 3.4L V-6 engine, with optional all-wheel drive and a neat, flexible seating configuration: the rear seats slide on an 8-in. track for extra legroom or more cargo space. Starting at $21,560, the Equinox stacks up competitively against such rivals as the Honda...
...stolen, according to a survey released last week by insurance-industry tracker CCC Information Services. Coming in at No. 2 is the 1998 Acura Integra, while the 1994 Saturn SL ranks third. Others in the top 20: Mitsubishi Montero, Honda Civic and Accord, Acura Legend, Toyota Camry and Chevrolet Tahoe. The most commonly filched cars were all made in the 1990s. Why? Ed Sparkman of the National Insurance Crime Bureau thinks newer autos are less attractive to thieves since carmakers now include better antitheft devices. Consumers looking for postfactory theft prevention have a variety of choices, including steering-column collars...
