		<description><![CDATA[The $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers is going to expire on November 30th. People have to close by that date, which means they really have to agree to buy within the next few weeks. The housing market has begun to rebound a bit, and the tax credit has been part of it. So should Congress extend, or even &#8212; as some are advocating &#8212; expand the program? My answer would be no, certainly no to expansion. Conceptually, the tax credit is similar in many ways to the &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; program, but it is much more expensive, and far less targeted. &#8221;Cash for Castles&#8221; applies to any house, either new or used, while &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; only applied to new cars. Increasing sales of used houses only indirectly stimulates the economy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An investment arm of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) is poised to invest about $250 million in Geely Automotive &#8211; China&#8217;s largest privately-owned carmaker &#8211; by purchasing the company&#8217;s convertible bonds and warrants. Geely Automotive is the Hong Kong-listed arm of Chinese automaker Geely Holding. Goldman Sachs Capital Partners will buy convertible bonds and warrants issued by Geely&#8217;s Hong Kong-listed subsidiary. The deal is almost complete, but some technical details of the investment are still pending. Confirmation of the deal could be announced as early as this week. Geely plans to use the proceeds from the Goldman investment to boost its production capacity, which could free up capital for its parent to bid for Volvo. Geely&#8217;s parent company has made global headlines in recent weeks after contemplating a bid for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Toyota Motor (TM) seems to be regaining consumer confidence in the U.S. at a fast pace. The company has rolled out a plan to spend $1 billion on marketing campaign to boost its U.S. sales in the fourth quarter. The marketing outlay is 30% to 40% higher than the company typically spends in any quarter. Besides the huge marketing campaign, Toyota will also expand its line of gas-electric hybrid models under the widely popular compact Prius. The company is also looking forward to offer hybrid models both larger and smaller than Prius. Toyota has been battered financially by the economic crisis. The company posted its first annual loss (¥437 billion or $4.4 billion) since 1950 for the fiscal year ended March 2009. Further, management has recently projected net loss to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Auto dealers are now facing a sales crisis as the $3 billion &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; cash incentive program closes. The program, introduced by the U.S. Government in late July and ended August 24, allowed consumers to trade in their old gas-guzzling cars and trucks with a mileage of 18 miles per gallon or less for a value of up to $3,500-$4,500. The surge of applications under the program saw dealers run out of stock for popular models such as Focus, Civic, Corolla and Altima. The U.S. Department of Transportation reported that as many as 690,114 new cars were sold under the program, reflecting a $2.88 billion in rebate applications, which is close to the program allocation. The situation has become worse as automakers have been slow to ramp up production ]]></description>

Sales of cars and light trucks surged 30% compared to July. The spike in sales was solely attributed to the Cash for Clunkers program launched by the U.S. government in late July. The program allowed consumers to trade in their old gas-guzzling cars and trucks with a mileage of 18 miles per gallon or less for a value of up to $3,500–$4,500.  As many as 690,114 new cars were sold under the program.

		<description><![CDATA[Panasonic Corp. (PC), one of the leading manufacturers of electronic and electrical products, systems and components, recently said that it is still waiting for regulatory approval for acquiring SANYO Electric Co Ltd. (SANYY). Panasonic entered into a capital and business alliance agreement with SANYO in December 2008 and offered to pay $4.3 billion (400 billion yen) to acquire it. The latter is a leading company in the rechargeable battery business focused on lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The energy business of SANYO will be added as Energy Solutions to Panasonic’s business, which will further expand its HIT (crystalline silicon) solar photovoltaic cells and modules (batteries) business and accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation solar cells. By taking over SANYO, Panasonic plans to double production capacity of lithium ion batteries to around ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Toyota Motor (TM) has released its plan to raise production in the U.S. for its pickup trucks as well as fuel-efficient cars by the end of 2009. A recovery in the housing sector and an immense demand generated by the Cash for Clunkers program are the key factors behind the increase in production. Toyota ’s full-sized pickup truck Tundra and mid-sized pickup truck Tacoma saw excellent sales in August. Tundra had its best monthly sales of the year at 7,872 units. Meanwhile, Tacoma sales were up 5% year-over-year to 12,547 units. The increase suggested an improvement in housing demand, as pickups are essentials in the construction industry. Toyota will raise manufacturing capacity of the Tacoma at a California plant. In the meantime, Tacoma production will be shifted to San Antonio, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[General Motors (hereafter GM) has revealed that it anticipates its U.S. sales to surge 15% from 2009 to 2010. The expectation has certainly been boosted by the company’s performance in the Cash for Clunkers program. The program, launched by the U.S. Government in late July, allowed consumers to trade in their old gas-guzzling cars and trucks with a mileage of 18 miles per gallon (mpg) or less for a value of up to $3,500–$4,500. In terms of market share, GM&#8217;s 17.6% took second place in the program after Toyota (TM) (19.4%). On the back of this overwhelming response in the program, in late August GM revealed its plan to add 60,000 vehicles to its production schedule in the third and fourth quarters and bring back about 1,350 laid-off workers. GM has targeted ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Toyota Motors (TM) has revealed that it will close down the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) plant in Fremont, California, which had been operated with General Motors since 1984. The move is a part of the company’s plan to reduce worldwide capacity by 700,000 to 1 million vehicles. NUMMI, opened by General Motors in 1962, was shut down in 1982 on the back of operational inefficiency. However, the plant was reopened two years later when it became a 50/50 joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. NUMMI was a remarkable joint venture in America’s as well as Toyota’s history. The joint venture taught Americans about the famous Japanese &#8220;lean manufacturing system&#8221; (focused on just-in-time delivery) through NUMMI, and Toyota took its first step in the U.S. using GM’s supply ]]></description>

Both of the company’s manufacturing units &#8212; the Dearborn, Michigan truck plant and the Kansas City, Missouri assembly plant &#8212; will return to a three-shift operation in September and October, respectively, this year. The increase in shifts will help gear up the production of F-150 pickup trucks by about 10,000 units. The manufacture of Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner SUVs together will increase by 2,400 units this year. The actions are perfectly in line with the automaker&#8217;s plan to enhance production for the third and fourth quarters driven by strong sales due to the Cash for Clunkers ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its time now to review the $3 billion cash incentive program &#8212; Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), informally known as &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; &#8212; which officially ended Tuesday. The program, launched by the U.S. Government in late July, allowed consumers to trade in their old gas-guzzling cars and trucks with a mileage of 18 miles per gallon (mpg) or less for a value of up to $3,500–$4,500. The U.S. Department of Transportation reported that as many as 690,114 new cars were sold under the program, reflecting $2.88 billion in rebate applications, which is closer to the program allocation. About 84% of the vehicles traded in by the consumers are trucks and SUVs. About 59% of consumers opted for passenger cars in exchange. The average fuel-economy of the vehicle purchased was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kawasaki-based NEC Electronics Corp. and Renesas Technology Corp. (a joint venture between Hitachi Ltd. (HIT) and Mitsubishi Electric Corp.) pushed back the proposed merger of their business operations until the end of September for the second time this year. Due to a delay in completing due-diligence on the companies&#8217; assets Incorporatedluding the manufacturing and sales sites worldwide, the companies had decided to postpone the contract to the end of July. Again in July, the companies decided to postpone the agreement to integrate business operations at NEC Electronics and Renesas until the end of August. In April 2009, both NEC Electronics and Renesas had been negotiating to integrate business operations. The consolidation took place to weather the difficult economic conditions, weak demand and pricing pressure that weighed heavily on chipmakers. This ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Japan’s biggest automaker, Toyota Motor Corporation (TM), is reportedly slashing production capacity at one of its factories in Japan, with domestic sales falling to their lowest point in over 30 years. The company will suspend production at one of the two production lines at the Takaoka plant in Aichi prefecture, central Japan from 2010 until the second half of 2011, lowering the facility’s overall capacity by 49% or 220,000 vehicles. Toyota also plans to shut New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) in California, a joint-venture factory with General Motors. In June, GM had pulled out of the joint venture after filing for bankruptcy. Toyota also plans to halt production lines at plants in Japan and U.K. These moves would cut the company’s production capacity by 700,000 vehicles to 1 million ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, the extremely popular vehicle exchange program &#8220;Cash for Clunkers&#8221; will complete its tenure. “Cash for Clunkers,&#8221; a.k.a. the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), introduced by the U.S. Government in late July, is a $3 billion cash incentive program. The program allowed consumers to trade in their fuel-inefficient vehicles for efficient ones. Customers received rebates of between $3,500 and $4,500, depending on the improvement in fuel efficiency from their old vehicle to their new one. The surge of applications under the program saw dealers run out of stock for popular models, such as Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Altima. As of Friday, August 21, about half a million cars – worth about $2 billion – had been sold through the program. However, the sales under the program ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Retail sales in July were much lower than expected. Total sales fell by 0.1%, far below the 0.8% increase forecast by the consensus of economists and the 0.8% increase that was posted in June. The one piece of good news in the report was that the June number was revised up from a 0.6% increase. If autos are excluded, sales fell 0.6% versus the expected increase of 0.1% and well below the 0.5% increase in June (originally reported as up 0.3%). The government auto sales numbers (up 2.4% from June, following a 1.9% increase the previous month) were well below what was indicated by the unit sales numbers coming from auto companies like Ford (F), General Motors and Toyota (TM).

But it’s been the auto industry that’s drawn the most criticism and debate.
