| | 20 Worst City Names in North America: You Can't Beat a Dead Horse, Alaska | | 2008-07-30 12:35:41 | | At the risk of never being given the keys to the city of Crapo Maryland, where you might not to want to open anything anyway, namely a business, there are some places that are just plain unappealing to the ear---as opposed to say, the state of Indiana*, which is unappealing to each of the other senses as well.[*Editor's note: It could be worse. It could be farther away from its main selling point---proximity to Chicago] There are towns that for whatever reason struck 'appeal to tourists' off the local chamber of commerce agendas, watched the Rotarians rotate their wheels out of Dodge and whose mayors are currently in the process of decommissioning our welcome wagons.These are places where a road sign pointing to them, even with the gas tank registering near empty, would have you lead foot it down the interstate and take your chances getting stranded somewhere while some maniac with a billhook muttering something about 'city folk' chops you into the next episode of CSI.Now, at the riski | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| | New VW Beetle could be North America's up! variant? | | 2008-07-11 21:21:00 | | The VW Beetle is a cult favorite here in the States, but in Germany, it's not so well loved. That could be part of the reason why Volkswagen has been slow to produce a successor to the new Beetle, but word from Motor Trend is that two models could be coming shortly. The first Beetle will be based off the Gen-VI Golf and will hit production in 2010 or 2011. Word out of Wolfsburg is that a second Beetle could be on the way as well, but this one would be based off the up! minicar. That would give VW a sub-brand Beetle lineup, kind of like what Toyota has with Scion, but with an eye on MINI buyers. The smaller up!-based Beetle would also be more true to the original Bug, which was a cheap and efficient "People's Car" with the engine out back (supposedly). Quality problems and a weak dollar have lead VW to struggle in the U.S. over the past few years, but an inexpensive, reliable car with top-notch fuel economy would go a long way toward reversing that trend.

| | Sweden Apparently Two Months Behind North America | | 2008-06-18 13:36:58 | |
via i.eurosport.se
Last week a Swedish newspaper reported that the Colorado Avalanche had signed hockey agitator Per Ledin to a one-year, one-way contract. But, six days later, no North American news outlet has confirmed this report, and there has been no mention whatsoever of Ledin in the Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News, nor the official Avalanche site.
Nothing. Not a peep.
Call me crazy, but I'm starting to think that Sweden's April Fool's Day falls on June 12th.
Until I read or hear otherwise, I'm going to declare this report to be complete bunk. As to how or why a news outlet would report something like this, I have no clue. Granted, I'm no expert on journalism standards in Europe, but this seems really strange. I mean, we have entire cable news networks devoted to promoting false information, but you'd think those elitist Europeans---what with their universal health care and month-long vacations---would be above something like this...

| | Chrysler ties Toyota for most productive plants in North America | | 2008-06-06 17:04:00 | | The Harbour Report released today reveals that the Big 3 gained major ground in closing the productivity gap with Japanese automakers building vehicles in North America last year. The report found that Chrysler had actually improved enough to tie Toyota as the most productive multi-plant manufacturer on the continent, with both automakers spending an average of 30.37 hours to build a vehicle. The most productive single plant in North America also belongs to Chrysler, as the once experimental Toledo Supplier Park takes just 13.57 labor hours to build a Jeep. For their parts, General Motors plants averaged 32.29 hours per vehicle and Ford plants averaged 33.88 hours per vehicle, both an improvement over last year's numbers.The news was not all good, however, as the report found that despite improving their productivity, the Big 3 are still unable to match the Japanese in profit made per vehicle.

| | LCD HDTV Sales Leaders in NorTh America | | 2008-03-20 06:10:19 | | The sufficiently aggressive policy of Samsung Electronics in the sphere of price strategy for LCD television sets helped the Korean electronics giant to reach earlier than expected, the 14.2% of corresponding market share. Such numbers were disseminated by the research company, iSuppli Corp. The above indicated numbers characterize the position of Korean company for the period of the fourth quarter of 2007. It is necessary to note that in the previous period the index was 12.5%. The intensification of sales & LCD HDTV production allowed the Samsung Electronics to occupy the leading place on the market for North America. The second place goes to Sony, the production for the company also grew in the last period of 2007 to acquire a 12.5% of market share - earlier Sony was the market leader. The drop to number 2 for Sony came to being because of the decreased sales volumes in the final quarter 2007 for LCD television sets under the new Vizio brand which held the market for North America i | | By: movie special | | |

| | Volvo considering closer integration with Ford of North America, building cars in the U.S. | | 2008-01-28 11:18:04 | | Volvo considering closer integration with Ford of North America, building cars in the U.S.
Volvo may may link future product development with Ford of North America, a new report finds. Volvo currently shares several platforms with Ford of Europe, as well as Jaguar and Land Rover, but the weak dollar and pending sale of Jaguar and Land Rover has Volvo considering closer integration with Ford of North America. The new architecture sharing with Ford of North America would make it possible for Volvo to produce cars here without having to make a huge investment in a new production facility. "If we are sharing components and platforms, then we don't need a huge site of our own," Volvo CEO Fredrik Arp told Automotive News. "But if we have our own components and platforms or share with Ford of Europe, then we have to go it alone." Other European automakers — such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz — have opened production facilities in the U.S. due to the poor exchange rate. Volkswagen also recently announced that it would open a plant in the U.S. Volvo is more dependent on the North American market than any other European brand — selling 30 percent of its cars in NA — so the exchange rate has offset any of the brands improvements, including a 9.8% increase in gain in labor costs and a $50 million dollar reduction in global warranty costs. The exchange rate has ballooned from $.87 on the euro in 2002 to its current rate of $1.47. However, the shift to North American production assumes that Ford will not sell its Volvo brand. Ford claims that Volvo is not on the auction block, contrary to several reports and despite announcing it lowered the value of Volvo last week. If Ford does move to further integrate with Volvo, it could make the sale of its last PAG brand more difficult because the companies would be so intertwined. | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

Not only have sales of the game done well, but a general upswing in Wii sales have also occurred, with other titles like Mario Galaxy suddenly selling in troves. One thing is for sure, Wii Fit is a success in Japan, but will the same occur here in North America? Originally the game was supposed to see a Q1 realease, but that seemed unlikely when Nintendo was unable to meet supply in Japan, which is often hard to due when dealing with a peripheral device.
