And we are back with a look at the May autos sales numbers which were surprisingly strong, including big gains by Chrysler brands. Meanwhile, Toyota's sales were weak, as it still worked to overcome the fallout from its recalls.
Alan Mulally was at the All Things D conference this week, along with David, and he explained the company's thinking behind the development of the Sync platform. He also addressed the future of electric cars in the U.S.
That future won't include Mercury, as Ford decided to kill the brand this week to focus on the Lincoln and Ford nameplates. Mulally said he plans to take Lincoln further upmarket now that Jaguar is not owned by Ford.
Electric vehicles continue to get all the buzz, and an Autoblog Green post showed how the Nissan Leaf has captured more searches from potential buyers than the long-hyped Chevrolet Volt.
Finally, Audi continues to develop its Travolution vehicle-to-infrastructure communication system which might actually be the car you buy after your next car. Or the one after that. Then you won't have to deal with all the red lights on your ride to work.
