Will Samsung Sell Cars Stateside?

Posted on April 14, 2023

Samsung sells cell phones, audio systems and a host of other home electronics. The Korean manufacturer also wants to sell you a car with its name on it, but only if you’re in South Korea. Thanks to a budding relationship with Renault and its Japanese partner, Nissan, Samsung now has a line of vehicles to sell, offering Korean car shoppers an option to Hyundai, Kia and GM Daewoo.

USA Export?

The 2008 Formula One season has just ended in what can only be called dramatic fashion. Lewis Hamilton rescued his championship by passing a slick shod Toyota in the rain in the last corner of the last lap of the season. It simply does not get any better or crazier than that.

The answer is we can expect 2009 to be a very interesting year. Why? It comes down to a simple fact. To save money and …

Posted on March 17, 2023

The world of Formula One is all a flutter regarding reports that Fernando Alonso put off a move from Renault to Ferrari out of loyalty to the Renault Team. This is one rumor you really have to question.

Let me start off by saying I am a Fernando Alonso fan. I think he is the most talented driver on the circuit with Sebastian Vettel coming a close second. Alonso’s ability to drive is unquestioned and his duel with Michael Schumacher a few years back was legendary.
