...pallets of paper towels. He asked me if I would be willing to take his shopping list if I went to Costco the following weekend. I said, "Sure," though I knew I wouldn't go back. I had heard a rumor that a friend of mine had ordered a Honda hybrid from a dealer (a waiting list for Hondas, in Montana?), and I decided to give him my list, since he could now drive to Bozeman all he wanted. I had formed my own conservation plan by then: keep my truck, but keep it parked--and, if I ever felt...
...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. Yet the brand remains a problem for GM; it isn't cool like Toyota's Scion, prized for its reliability like Honda or renowned for its engineering like BMW. Not even Oprah's giveaway of 276 G6 sedans to her TV studio audience, which generated a trunkload of press, did much to lift sales...
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. Unlike the profit machines Honda, Nissan and Toyota, Mitsubishi has been in automaker hell.

I decided to take the shunpikes down to Brattleboro, hotting village after village. In funky Jamacia, Vermont, I stopped and bought the kids some maple moose pops at the general store. The longhaired kid at the cash register was talking Sox with his pal as he made change...
...bottom line. But just 34% of shoppers are now considering an SUV, a three-year low, according to a recent survey by Kelley Blue Book. Sales of fuel-saving hybrids, meanwhile, are expected to zoom from less than 1% of the market to 3.5% by 2012. Honda and Toyota sell the most hybrids, but GM plans to muscle in with hybrid versions of full-size SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe in 2007. With oil prices at record highs, GM dealers can hardly wait. --Daren Fonda
