Like many other manufacturers attempting a comeback, VW is engineering a revamp that involves both new products and cost cutting. At the Los Angeles auto show in December, the company is expected to unveil a small SUV called the Tiguan, due in 2008. A minivan, to be built in partnership with Chrysler, is also planned for 2008. There's even talk of importing another retro favorite, the Scirocco, which is being revived in Europe. VW aims to double sales in the U.S. over the next five to six years. "If we're going to be a global player, we have...
...recent afternoon, Relentless Aaron parks his white SUV near Rockefeller Center in New York City and begins digging through a pile of books in the van.

His once curbside suv and his boat fit comfortably alongside the Porsche--well worth the price of a little nip and tuck...

Ford elected to keep plowing money into pickup trucks and SUV lines, surrendering the heart of the car market to the Japanese and the Koreans. Today the company that invented the Model T relies on platforms developed by Mazda and Volvo, in-house foreign brands, for its new cars. In an interview with TIME, Mulally said that before he joined Ford, his perception of the company "was one of innovation." But Ford's innovative years seem as faded...
