Among the highlights: a chat with the new Ford Europe chief, details of how GM’s well seasoned OnStar telematics will work in Europe and Toyota getting in on the engine downsize act.
Outside Switzerland, Daimler is yoinking Smart from Australia, Mazda is now churning out the redesigned MX-5, China is getting a three pot Volvo, snowstorms hit US sales, and Mexico and Brazil are still haggling over ‘free trade’ quotas.
