Wednesday, June 19, 10:44 AM Winners and losers from Chrysler's (FIATY.PK) fight with the NTHSA: Though it capitulated and agreed to a recall, Chrysler scored a cheap fix (adding trailer hitches) to what could have been a more expensive issue and protected its brand in front of the planned buyout by Fiat and eventual IPO. The NHTSA saves itself what may have been a painful process of going through discovery - while General Motors (GM) and Ford (F) got a free look at how a battle with the agency goes down. Consumers with 1993-2004 Grand Cherokees and 2002-07 Libertys walk away with a little extra value due to the new trailer hitch, but might still be wondering about those rear-end collisions. 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
Wednesday, June 19, 7:02 AM Smog-infested Shijiazhuangn in China announces a plan to limit automobile sales of new vehicles to 100K this year and only allow households to to own at most two cars in an effort to improve air quality. Automobile analysts think more cities in China could be forced to limit the growth of automobiles due to worsening air pollution. The measures could put the brakes on some of the most ambitious plans of automakers (F, TM, FIATY.PK, HMC, NSANY.OB, VLKAY.PK, DDAIF.PK) for the country. 5 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]

Monday, June 17, 1:30 PM Nissan (NSANY.OB) is threatening to put a damper on the summer profits of the Big Three (GM, F, FIATY.PK) automakers with new aggressive pricing stemming from a lower yen and an urge to gain market share in the U.S. What to watch: Nissan's "scorched-earth" pricing policy is running up against an onslaught of new models from Detroit with positive reviews. The U.S. automakers may hold the line on prices - unless Toyota (TM) gets aggressive as well and forces the issue. 3 Comments [Consumer]

As a reaction, three states have enacted rules to add fees to green cars while five others are weighing legislation. But the larger question on the issue is if electric vehicles are actually to blame for the drop in gas tax revenue or if it's the better gas mileage across the automobile industry (GM, F, TM, NSANY.OB)? 17 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, June 5, 10:52 AM Ford (F -1.8%) says it sold 5,993 cars in India during May as exports rose and domestic wholesales fell back for the month.
