The California Roll, the practice of slowing to a crawl, but not stopping for a stop sign has become a serious problem. An Australian company, Redflex, has developed a machine designed to issue tickets for a California Stop. This new technology may be installed in Los Angeles, California some time in the future by Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority.

TSB’s (Technical Service Bulletins) are documents issued by a car manufacturer to it’s dealerships which advises fixes for a known defect or problem. The TSB’s give both the car owner and dealers information about what may happen with a particular model or vehicle. TSB’s are intended to assist the dealerships with ongoing repairs. The notices are not compulsory so the dealer or car maker do not have to make the repairs or even let the consumer know about them.

Recalls are mandatory and generally relate to safety concerns or emission problems. The government has determined there is a potential design flaw and may be unsafe and dangerous. The manufacturer is required to issue an official recall notice and the government mandates that the car makers make specific repairs to the exact make and model. The government requires that you be notified by mail by the manufacturer.

eBay and General Motors are in early talks over the possibility of the two companies working together. General Motors came out of it’s bankruptcy on Friday, July 10, 2009, a much smaller company but that may make it possible to move forward with a deal to use eBay’s auction site as another way to market its vehicles. GM is excited about changing the manner in which it reaches consumers online.

The targa-top Pontiac Solstice will be the last of the Pontiacs and after only a few months of production. Pontiac is scheduled to close production in 2010 and the Solstice coupe will be the last of Pontiac’s new models. With total production of only approximately 1,100 units when operations will end at the Wilmington plant in the end of July, the Solstice may become a collectors item. The coupes will be numbered sequentially so that it will be easy to determine which exactly of the 1,100 cars a collector may own. The GXP version has a sticker price of $31,000 and comes with a 4-cylinder 260 hp engine. One reviewer extolled the beautiful exterior but was disappointed by its relatively plain interior and by the relatively small size cockpit. He was further disappointed by the lack of convenient storage spaces in the passenger compartment and small luggage area. The reviewer also complained about the layout of the dashboard instruments and the wind and road noise. Despite its many faults, that particular reviewer found it to be a sexy little car designed by one of General Motors’ top designers who has subsequently left and is now employed by Tesla. The Solstice GXP seems to be a lot of sizzle but very little steak.

At the New York 2008 Auto Show Pontiac had announced the G8 Sport Truck which was a sort of evolution of the Chevrolet El Camino. The El Camino had been built on and off by Chevrolet from 1959 through the late 80s. Like the El Camino the G8 was half car, half pick-up with a 6-liter 361-horsepower version of Corvette’s V8. It was to have a 3,500 pound towing capacity with a 74 inch cargo bed designed for a small, select audience with projected sales of approximately 5,000 units per year.

John Harris, director of the National El Camino Owners Association, was quoted as saying that “You could not fit a sheet of plywood in the bed,” which is “sort of a litmus test for what was always supposed to be a working man’s vehicle.” Now with the end of the Pontiac line so too is the end of the plans for the production of the G8 Sport Truck.

While sales in June fell by 33% for General Motors, and 42% for Chrysler, Ford Motor Company announced that its sales were only down 11% from June, 2008. Ford also outsold Toyota and is regaining market share for the third consecutive month, and is discounting its vehicles less than General Motors and Chrysler. Ford also stated that slow demand in the West and Southwest where the housing market has taken the worst beating, has dragged down the company’s overall sales, while sales in more than half of the remaining states were on a par or slightly greater than last year’s. Further adding to General Motors and Chrysler’s woes were that plant closings sharply reduced sales to car rental companies and other business customers. On the bright side, however, their bankruptcies have not deterred sales to consumers as much as was expected

Asian automakers have also felt the impact of the economic slowdown with declines in sales of 32% for Toyota and 23% for Nissan. Overall automotive sales in the United States fell by 28% compared to June 2008, which though still a decline is the smallest decline since September of last year. Average annual sales throughout the United States for the last decade were about 17 million units but took a nosedive starting the second half of 2008. Thus far in 2009 slightly under 5 million vehicles have been sold, a decrease of approximately 37%.
