But that's not all that's happened over the past 24 hours.

Suzuki also released pricing of the new Kizashi sedan, and starting at $18,000, it's sure to make the big-name players in the segment take a cautious look at their own offerings. Talk of raising the gas tax is back on the table, unfortunately, and all of us that put fuel in a car ought to be paying attention.

This Week In Camaros: Z28 Not A Sure Thing, Dealers Get 2011 Convertible Preview

This week's informative GM Fastlane chat session with General Motors VP of Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar tells us the Camaro Z28 isn't guaranteed for production--contrary to earlier reports--and the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was shown off to dealers this week, and "will come out soon."

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has been a hot seller for GM, and rightfully so--our own Bengt Halvorson drove one just this week and found it a lot of fun, "bitchin'," even, despite its minor downsides.

That’s a shame, because in each of these cases less than $25k—well under the price of today’s average new vehicle—can get you tremendous head-turning potential.

The 2010 Ford Mustang V-6, which TheCarConnection.com just drove for a week, is a case in point; it’s a vehicle that elicits admiring stares, grins, and even some thumbs-up. Though we have to admit the most enthusiastic responses are from those who are close to retirement age.
