...hottest cars on the market, commanding premiums and long waiting lists. The folks who snickered when Toyota launched a youth brand, Scion, by importing funky compacts from Japan like the xB, are racing to develop their own hipster cars. Toyota is doing a bang-up job financially, forecast to post profits of $10.8 billion in its 2005 fiscal year, according to Prudential Equity Group. The company is gunning for 15% of the global market by 2010, which would most likely vault Toyota past GM as the world's largest automaker...

It was a vision of the future, a forecast of the world's destruction. We did not like what...

A red tide of loan losses has swelled over the past four years, and Chairman Samuel Armacost last month forecast little or no profit for the second quarter. Still, the financial community was stunned when BankAmerica last week announced a net loss of $338 million for that period. It was the second-worst quarterly deficit in U.S. banking history (after Continental Illinois' $1.1 billion loss in the second quarter...
