Fujitsu is the leader in 3D graphics display technology for vehicle navigation systems worldwide, with more than 30 percent of the global market. With the new MB86276 2D GDC, we are expanding our controller line to meet the specific price and performance benchmarks of North American vehicle manufacturers. This version meets the industry's requirements for navigation systems appropriate for mid-range cars and trucks in the U.S. and Canada.

Fuel prices have sent people to cars a little bit more, and many of the trucks and SUVs from GM and Ford are at the end of their model life. Frankly, in terms of new models, there's more interesting stuff happening, and it's stronger with regard to the Asians.

Fuel economy will always be an issue that's lingering in the back of people's minds. Given the number of new products coming out, we expect compact and subcompact cars and SUVs will continue to grow this year.

From the exterior, GM's newest cars are not that different from what they had before,

If anybody backs out for any reason, we've got cars waiting to fill those spots.

If a project is planned with 700 residents, and 50 percent of them use mass transit, that's 350 cars off the road. That improves traffic congestion and air quality. It contributes to the quality of life.

If automobile efficiency gets serious then hybrid cars may not be the best choice,

I don't want the air to get dirtier than it already is. And by excluding the older cars that have worse emissions, then we seem to be going backward.

I don't want a goalie talking to me about banking. Buying a car is a complex thing. The best way to sell cars is through content and creating desire. Once that's set, you can bring in celebrities.

I don't try to use them that much but when you enter a corner too fast they can be a help. The problem is that a driver can't rely on them. If temperatures aren't cold enough to freeze the snow properly, instead of bouncing off the banks, cars can be dragged into the snow or plough through them and off the road.

If a caution comes out late in the race, it's a free-for all. When the caution came out in the '70s, all it did was bring three or four cars together because 10th place was eight or nine laps down.

I enjoy driving the cars and I like the Ford family. Ford was one of the bigger influences of why I stayed at Roush. I wanted to keep driving a Ford because I like the Fords.

I envisioned putting in a second seat. Then I could experience everything and I wouldn't have to worry. Then we started talking, drew it up and presented it to (IRL president) Tony George in 1999. He thought the idea was good as long as the cars were real.

I don't think it's a car for the U.S. market. Those cars look great in Europe, but put them on road here next to a big SUV and they don't look so good any more.

I don't think people get the full perspective of how in-depth we go into cars from the small amount of press that we get. We try to allay some of the fears that people have. Our No. 1 customer is the consumer. We try to get them the best information we can get so they can make the best decision on what they're buying.

Fortunately, with only 15 cars here, even if I finished last, it would have been a tie. There wasn't a lot of pressure,

I got a real opportunity here with Cozads that a lot of people who race cars for all of their lives never get to do, ... I really have to put my hands out to them to thank them for the opportunity to do this.

I got a real good jump at the start and I decided to go around the outside, ... The next thing I knew, there were cars sideways in front of me. I swung wide and didn't get touched. We were lucky.

If we would have raced with the infield like that, cars that hit the mud would have flipped over.

If you are at all romantic about racing, it is so much fun to drive these cars and to really appreciate what they were like in a great era of Formula One,

If the track is clean, and the temperatures are low, we will run reasonably strongly, but warm-ups are never a great thing to go on. Never the less, the cars seem to be better balanced this morning and we have more grip, so that suits us. The changes we made were fairly minor and I am sure this has more to do with the track and the tyres working in the cooler conditions.

He introduced things like different-color cars and annual model changes, and it's taken Ford 70 years to get back close to GM. I'm like Sloan. I see what the new world needs and wants, and I'm offering it. Dole's still making black cars. But he doesn't have to.

He made the officials sweat checking our cars. He was always looking for an edge. We set him loose.

He looked entirely too comfortable. That's what all that fishing and working on old cars will do for you.

He loves running, and I think it's fantastic. But the shoes. They're big and stinky. They're in the cars, in the rooms, and there are always orders for new ones.

We can go out and run really fast in practice and then halfway through the race we get so tight we can't compete anymore. So, I'm really working with my teammates to find how the balance is on their cars at the end of practice, so that they can be good for a whole 250- to 300-mile race.

Whatever benefits are reaped from the improvement in one car are overwritten by the five cars that give out harmful particles and gases.

We've been waiting for this day and I think everyone's been rehearsing for weeks. Now it's just a matter of who does what once the new cars arrive.

We're pretty optimistic. We think all we've got to do is go through the motions and get our cars comfortable and we're going to let the points take care of themselves.

We took three cars, left at midnight and drove until 6 a.m., ... Everybody was leaving, and the roads were a mess.

We took delivery of the Smart Cars over the weekend and have been getting interest everywhere we go -- left, front and center. As we were parking them in front of the dealership, they attracted so much attention they literally stopped traffic, and even caused a fender-bender as people were gawking at them. I drove by my son's elementary school and the teacher invited me to bring the Smart Car for show and tell!

We took Amtrak down there. We were trying to get out before the hurricane, but Amtrak stopped running early. There were no flights out. All the rental cars were gone. We had no way out.

When hybrids were first introduced in the United States, they were only available in sub-compact cars that were not practical for all vehicle buyers.

What I mean by that is that they have all the necessary skills to come up with good cars and good price.

We've expanded our toy range, and that has done very well, dumper trucks, tractors, and big cars for kids, some of which are attractively priced, that is, under $1,000, are doing very well.

With more than 75 cars in two classes on the track for this Saturday's race, our drivers have to be selective about where they make their moves or risk giving up the leads we've built so far this season.

We think better cost performance was a key driver of the improvement in North American and possibly higher profitability on cars than we had anticipated.

We are extremely excited about the USAC Silver Crown, USAC/CRA and USAC Sprint Cars along with the USAC Midget Cars airing on The Outdoor Channel in 2006. I personally want to thank everyone involved in putting together the most diversified television package available on any network. We look forward to many years of exciting USAC Racing on the Outdoor Channel.

Today is about guys back in the fab shop and the cars they gave us, ... It's a brand new race car. (It's about) the adjustments Todd (Parrott) and these guys did to get me ready to make two laps today. So, my job really starts tomorrow - getting it ready for the race. I'm looking forward to that. I think we've got a good car for Sunday so it should be fun.

What you're seeing is that American consumers are using rental cars in their home towns and neighborhoods for many needs beyond replacements for automobiles that are in the shop. They're renting for corporate and leisure needs, driving vacations, an extra car, or a different kind of car.

What we have is different passions. I happen to be one of his biggest fans. His passion is golf. My passions are my kids first, my cars and my wife and immediate family. He loves golf. I love tournament golf, and that's as far as my passion with golf goes.

What we had on site was over 120 unlicensed cars and several piles of scrap metal outdoors on the property,

Here's an example: A series of car break-ins is occurring at trailhead parking lots in your area. A reporter writes a short article about the problem, identifying some of the locations of the vandalism. As a sidebar to the conventionally written story, trail users are invited to post their experiences of having their cars broken into, including submitting photos,

He reminds me a lot of myself when I was young, ... Chris has a passion for cars and I think he'll fit right in with my guys at Team Baurtwell.

Here is the truth of the matter. The individuals that we invited were, one, expected to speak, and were expected to present their opinions on the issue of taxation, specifically as it pertains to cars and trucks. We had a variety of opinions expressed by the invited guests that were there.

Having a tool to see what cars are greener and to be able to compare them is important, especially since this information is not readily available.

Hertz has become less and less important as an outlet for Ford cars as Ford has pared back sales to Hertz and other daily rental companies. It's really a noncore business right now.

He said he has one that has to do with cars.

He's a little smart-aleck colored boy, Teddy says he's a pro. Teddy tells Maurice to get us a gasoline truck so we can fill up our cars. Maurice comes back with a highway hauler, Texaco written across the tank. The time I met him Maurice had swiped more different kinds of vehicles than any car booster doing time at Jeff City. But you're right, what's the rush?

His next challenge is to lead the Americas automotive operations back to a sustained level of profitability while producing the best cars and trucks in the industry,

He's going to have a tough job given that Robbie has driven so well for us throughout the season but Darren's experience and speed in a wide range of cars together with his motivation augers well for China.

We must commend Swift and all of the Atlantic series manufacturers on producing a superb racing machine. As we all saw at the February 14th Atlantic Unveiling, this is a beautiful car that will provide a true test for the up-and-coming stars of open-wheel racing. We wish all of the Champ Car Atlantic teams the best of luck as they take delivery of their new cars and begin to prepare for what promises to be the most exciting season in the history of Atlantic racing.

We look forward to the day 20 years from now when hydrogen-powered cars are widely available. But we can't afford to sit back and wait for that day. We need to do something to address the problem immediately.

He was riding behind me. There were no cars around. I heard the crash, and when I turned around, he was on the ground.

He was really the one that got me into racing. When I first started racing, he said, 'Boy, if you're going to drive these cars, you're going to learn to work on them. You have to build the trailer, build the cars and the motors and do it all.' For me it makes me appreciate it a lot more.

He just doesn't feel like his cars felt like last year.

There are so many cars on the road. Where do you go to the bathroom? If you run out of water and it's 100 degrees out there, what do you do about that? And it's not just you.

There are so many cars on the market that get 30 miles per gallon, and folks aren't buying them,

The only thing that could ruin it, ... is if one of these cars doesn't win the championship.

Just not being a new race team. Pretty much every guy on this team was here last year. That allowed us to work on our cars and be prepared over the winter time. I can remember a year ago the night before Bristol, finishing the car late at night on Thursday night and then come to Bristol.

It can't do anything but help. More money means more cars. More cars mean more fans. More fans mean more money. It'll be a snowball effect, which will be nice because the snowball's been going in the wrong direction lately.

It can enhance the excitement of the race. As it transfers to stock cars, and particularly applies to Daytona and Talladega, with the cars running closer together, a bump draft at the right time in the right place is not the worst thing in the world. But it has been turning bump drafting into slam drafting, because the hits just keep getting harder and harder and harder.

It boils down to this: They get to make two more gas-guzzlers for every FFV they put out. There's no way Detroit would be producing these cars if they weren't allowed to weaken miles-per-gallon standards in return.

It always seems to be one of our bigger races. There will be a lot of cars from out of town. This will be our first points race. We're hoping to have 125 cars. A lot of people are ready to race.

I think it's good for sports cars to be united, to be just one. I think it's good for the fans. When you have two different series, fans don't know which way to go, when you only have one I think it's good for the sport.

I think it's indicative of the market. Consumer Reports has a very high standard for consumer research the gold standard really and for the list of top picks to not have any domestic cars on it really says something.

It comes from any powerful fuel combustion: coal, gas, factories, cars.

I think the police have better things to do than to drive around looking in people's cars checking if they're wear a seat belt. There are other areas of law enforcement that need to be focused on.

I think that Ricky had so much confidence in Kyle and the structure of the 25 and the 5, and to see the two cars run like that tonight and Kyle to win the race and become the youngest guy, it's incredible,

I think you're going to have to be smart and use it at the right time because everybody is going to go by you, ... It's going to be a matter of when to use it and how to use it.JThe car is really stuck on the track with the aerodynamic package we run there. There is a bit too much downforce to slow the cars down.

I think you can say they're back. During the '90s, it was SUVs. In the '80s, it was minivans. So people had moved away from the small cars. It's definitely, since the '70s, the most new small cars on the market.

I think with the way these cars are so aero-dependent, if you can catch the guy in front of you and get up beside him, he's going to have to check up and you're going to end up being side-by-side with him,

I think the effect has already been felt on Ford's earnings because Ford and the other automakers book themselves in profits when they produce and ship the cars to the dealers,

I think the biggest thing is gaining the respect from all the guys who are already there. And the Cup cars are a lot different from what they've been driving. That's challenging. Longer races. When to race and not to race. All stuff you have to learn, and it takes a while to learn it. It worked out for us pretty well. A lot of the drivers can make that transition. But you just never know.

It is going to be a challenge for everyone to just finish this race. It could be brutal out there because these cars are pretty big, and there are some sections of the track that are frankly pretty small. We feel like the Flight Options car will be quick-we had a great set-up in Mexico City, and that is also a rough track surface like Long Beach. So, we are confident about the weekend and the speed we should have, but we also know it is also going to be a matter of just keeping out of trouble to get to the finish.

Last I heard, about 40 cars ... made it for the car-only cruise.

It is pretty disappointing, really, especially as Rick showed how fast our cars can go. We noticed a drive-line vibration in the morning session, and we tried to fix it before qualifying. Unfortunately, it was worse, and because we thought it could be unsafe, we had to sit it out. However, the boys will change the tail-shaft and we will see how we go tomorrow.

I thought we had an easy top-10 car, but once we got behind we had to pass a lot of cars and that's difficult to do here. But we did manage to recover and I am proud about that.

I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent and stuff, but I'm pretty sure at least three out of his last four (wins) ... have had (issues) with the cars being illegal.

I think all you can ask for is to have a chance at the end of the year. A lot of great cars still have a chance and we've got to earn it every week.

I think we can attribute that to cleaner cars and enforcement of the Clean Air Act, and improved control technology that has reduced hydrocarbons.

I think to earn the right to drive these sorts of cars is a sensible move.

I think that we've managed to put together a competitive line up. Both cars have a realistic opportunity to challenge for the win. I'm excited to be working with drivers that have achieved so much in racing and it's nice to have worked with them all in some stage or another.

I think that it will make for one heck of a weekend. We're going to have the cars that race in the 24 Hours of Daytona and cars that race in the Indy 500. I think that that makes for about as good a show as you could ask for.

It is normal for ?in the rail yard' cars to not have air in their breaks. The reason is you're separating cars from a train. In order for the cars to move freely, their breaks don't have air.

I think we're in a significant inventory correction in the economy. What's happening now is people who make cars and barbecue grills are getting their inventories in line, then they're getting their product in line. But the number of cars and barbecue grills being bought is still rising,

I was working hard to stay ahead of Hamish. It is a real pleasure to see these cars run in anger.

I was waiting in a gas line for seven-and-a-half hours, and there were people in front of me and behind me pushing their cars because they had already run out of gas.

I will examine the details of this proposal to make sure it advances our goals of conserving fuel while preserving U.S. jobs and maintaining the safety of our cars and trucks.

I was just starting to get heavily into girls and cars and cigarettes and booze, and I wanted to have a normal chance to have fun.

I was just trying to save tires and run so easy, ... I didn't want to get to lapped cars because I didn't know what I'd do with them.

I think the track is the prefect size and shape for our cars and the fans are going to see a great show.

Just by applying this technique to the oil fields of Western Canada we would see billions of additional barrels of oil and a reduction in CO2 emissions equivalent to pulling more than 200 million cars off the road for a year,

Last week we had a good balance with the cars and there were no specific problems, but despite this there was a difference of 0.08 seconds on Montoya's fast lap with similar fuel quantities. We don't know why, but the results for us weren't as good.

I think everything in South Florida is wonderful, except for I-95. It's so crowded with cars whizzing by you that you literally fear for your life.

I saw Ryan (Newman) coming up in my mirror and I've seen a lot of cars behind me in practices, but I've never seen one come up so close.

I saw a lot of people looking from inside their cars and taking pictures with camera phones.

I see more cars stopped for speeding than I do trucks. They just can't stand to be behind a truck. They just gotta be in front of it.

I see individuals scurrying to get into more fuel-efficient cars. Then they find out they owe more on their 2004 vehicle than what they could get as a trade-in.

I said I wanted to go back to a time when there (weren't) cars or computers or electricity because you had to work for what you wanted. Everything wasn't handed to you,
