...setting hip-hop market with such SUVs as the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade. Until now the DaimlerChrysler merger has been known mostly for plant closures, job cuts and jet-lagged executives. Moreover, Chrysler's gambit to charge premium prices with such new products as its luxe Pacifica wagon has met with resistance from consumers. The vehicle sold poorly out of the gate, and sales improved only after Chrysler cut prices. The Chrysler Crossfire, a two-seat sports car based on a Mercedes-Benz platform, sold weakly before a price...
When my dad used to pile us into our Plymouth station wagon, he always reminded us to enjoy the drive and not fret about when we'd get to Yellowstone. Back then it was easier to enjoy the drive, though. The reels on the gas pumps turned almost as slowly as the date wheel on my father's Timex.

...that's not what McCall is doing. Come Halloween, he attaches the wagon to his X595 and takes local kids for hayrides. The halogen headlights proved handy when his mother-in-law came to baby-sit. "It was 9 o'clock at night," McCall says. "The kids were wound up. I was getting aggravated, so I decided to cut the grass." Not everyone, however, is enamored with his Deere. At a recent homeowners' association meeting, a neighbor asked if McCall might recuse himself from a Lawn of the Month contest, owing to the unfair edge his tractor gives him. McCall...
