News I-G Style!

Sure you could go elsewhere and read page upon page of boring news releases or you could come here and get all the automotive news that’s worth reading in one place in one post!  It’s a no brainer.

Read on for news!

Let’s talk Barrett Jackson, if you are anything like me you love Barrett Jackson.  Sure, you’ll over pay if you buy there, but where else can you find so much car porn in one spot?  So we will have our B-J viewing party like we do every year.  The action starts on Tuesday the 17th and we’ll probably be dropping twitter bombs when the good stuff comes up.  Meanwhile, head on over to Speed’s website to win a GT500 that they are giving away for the Hagerty fantasy bid stuff.

I’m working on a little write up on the Ford EVOS later this week.  I’ll admit I’ve rejected all things hybrid, electric, and green to this point.  However, things like the EVOS, Volt and, I’m slightly ashamed to admit, the Lexus 200h have got me thinking maybe they aren’t that bad.  Are they?  Anyway, more on the EVOS this week.

According to the theDetroitBureau.com, 70% of Japanese cars sold here are built here.  Good for them, glad to see some companies invest in America, God knows the American companies aren’t.  You know that’s not really fair of me to say, but they certainly could try harder.

Opel celebrates 150 years of irrelevancy this year.  Congrats!

According to Ford the F150 has topped the best sellers list again with a little over 500k sold last year.  Congrats to Ford.  The F-series is a hell of a truck and it shows in the sales.

Chevy has announced it’s fix for the Volt………. Sorry I fell asleep there.  Way to much electric car talk in this news update.

Here is some car porn.
