...probably the most anticipated: the automaker's first true SUV, the model XC90. Just weeks on the market, its sales are red hot. But how does it drive? We took it for a spin. Verdict: the XC90 has brawn and backbone, blending the solid chassis of a Swedish sedan with the commanding stance of an SUV. The driver has a high, clear view of the road, and the controls are easy to read and reach. Volvo's designers added such nifty touches as a children's booster seat in the middle of the second row (a third-row seat...
...hardware currently deployed in aceh-U.S.-supplied bombers, British-made jets, tanks, armored troop carriers, assault helicopters, warships-it was a slate-gray Japanese sedan that unnerved us journalists the most. The car bore a large sign reading "Press," yet it carried several uniformed men with guns. Who were they? Rebels of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM)?

None of the gawkers even lent a hand as we tried to lift the wounded man into our Daewoo sedan. It took several universally understood expletives to elicit help...
...percentage points (GM's is down 1.5 points). CEO William Clay Ford Jr., the founder's great-grandson, is focused on cutting new-vehicle development time from the current three years (a full year longer than industry leader Toyota) and increasing parts-and-platform sharing. Ford's new Futura sedan, due in 2005 to replace the outgoing Taurus, will use a Mazda platform that Ford plans to leverage across 10 cars and crossover vehicles in its global lineup, including its Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands. (Ford owns a controlling stake in Mazda.) But the core of Ford's global "product...
