Chevrolet: Malibu to Offer Turbocharged Four-Cylinder

During our brief drive in a mild-hybrid Malibu Eco prototype, Chevrolet told us that the car’s engine lineup would be comprised exclusively of four-cylinders, a move we considered questionable. Now, though, the company has confirmed that the car will get an optional turbocharged four-cylinder, which will take the V-6′s place in the lineup. Chevy isn’t [...]

Fernandes: F1 must promote itself better

Tony Fernandes believes Formula 1 needs to do more to promote itself better in new markets if it is to grow its fan base in the future. Amid an expansion of the F1 calendar outside of Europe - with India and South Korea having been added in the past two years, and Russia coming in 2014 - grand prix racing is facing the challenge of attracting new spectators if the events are to be a success

Report: Saab's Swedish court case gets new administrator, hearing delayed [UPDATE]

Filed under: Government/Legal, Saab

The fate of Saab continues to twist in the air, as Autocar reports that the Swedish court-appointed administrator Guy Lofalk has decided to step down. The news of Lofalk's requested exit from the hearings comes but one week after he applied to have Saab taken out of reorganization.

If Lofalk succeeded in taking Saab out of reorganization, the automaker would have had less than a week to submit a plan to the Swedish District Court outlining how it will find the money to keep the doors open. Saab wasn't at all happy with Lofalk's request, and now the struggling automaker has a little bit of a breather. The Vanersborg District Court has decided to postpone the decision to approve Lofalk's application on Monday, and his replacement Lars-Henrik Andersson is likely to be appointed the same day.

With the slight delay in the courts, Saab now has more time to pursue additional loans. Since General Motors vetoed an alliance with Chinese partners, Saab parent Swedish Automobile CEO Victor Muller is reportedly looking for an $800 million loan from Chinese investors and unnamed banks.

UPDATE: According to a new Reuters report, a Swedish court has apparently ruled against the planned administrator switch, saying that Lofalk is not allowed to quit his job because the process is too far along. The court is still expected to rule on Monday whether or not to extend Saab's protection from creditors.

Vettel says focus on even better 2012

Sebastian Vettel says he is already moving on from his ultra-successful 2011 Formula 1 season and keen to ensure he and Red Bull Racing can be even better in 2012. The German wrapped up this year's world championship with a 122-point cushion, having taken 11 race victories and 15 poles. But as he celebrated the achievement in Red Bull's Home Run event in Milton Keynes this weekend, Vettel said he was starting to put 2011 in the past and focus on next year's car
