This Just In: New on the Net

By John Coyle

Editor

It’s Friday, and you know what that means: a couple of days of partying which will be awesome, even if it takes a little while to piece together what I actually did. Have a great weekend! Here’s the news: 

  • If you’ve ever wanted to design a car from scratch, this might be your chance. Local Motors is calling for designs, and if they get a really killer one, it just might see production. Wired
  • The brass at American Axle isn’t pumped about the proposal the UAW has submitted, saying that it won’t allow the company to be competitive. Obviously, this isn’t good for workers, who have been on strike for over six weeks. Detroit News
  • Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Mong-koo, who received a three year suspended sentence for fraud last year, recently had his conviction over-turned by Korea’s Supreme Court. Life is good at the top. Automotive News
  • Most car companies get all huffy about spy shots of their new vehicles, but not Opel. The automaker is actually releasing it’s own. What’s next, dog and cats living together? Winding Road
