...question: whether Lutz can push GM to produce not just one concept car that may or may not ever hit the streets but lots of beautiful, must-have cars. Despite a booming truck business and recent gains in market share against its troubled crosstown rivals Ford and Chrysler, GM still lumbers under the burdens borne by all the Big Three: in a stagnant economy, overcapacity and intractable labor costs have obliterated profit margins. Meanwhile, the soaring value of the dollar against the yen is giving Detroit's Japanese competitors an even bigger advantage than they already have through more efficient...
...MINI COOPER S Car designers have chosen one of two roads over the past few years: make vehicles more like trucks, or mine the archives and pull out, say, the VW Beetle or the faux-retro Chrysler PT-cruiser. But reintroducing legends can be sticky. BMW got it right with the Mini Cooper Series. The Cooper S is almost as preposterously cute as its gutsy little '60s forebear.

Using patriotism in advertising is nothing new. After all, Detroit’s “Big Three”—Chrysler, GM and Ford—were built on that principle (ironically, Chrysler is now owned by Germans). Furthermore, the commercialization of Christmas has been an issue for decades. It is the merging and amplification of these darker, manipulative parts of capitalism that suggests that the malls may be more stifling than usual this holiday season...
