After a brief hiatus, we are back to the microphone to catch-up on the latest car info, including breaking news that initial data from government research indicates that some of the drivers who claimed their Toyota and Lexus vehicles accelerated out of control
were pressing the wrong pedal! So, David was right.

| Subaru's Brat |
Meanwhile, car buyers have been returning to dealers and
boosting auto sales in recent months. And paying more for American brands than Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai and other overseas brands. Data show that the
average transaction price for the first
five months of this year was $29,217, with Ford and GM selling for significantly more.
The oil spill in the Gulf and Tesla's IPO has increased interest in electric vehicles, but Joe White says don't get too excited because there are still significant hurdles that need to be overcome before they are widely adopted. GM might be trying to assuage some of those issues by offering extended OnStar coverage for Volt buyers.
And finally this week, Subaru is looking to shake its quirky image by improving the looks of its vehicles. Too bad, the Brat was a cool car, if unusual.
