You can’t buy the Aston Martin CC100 Speedster Concept. It won’t show up on dealer lots, and if your name isn’t Dr. Ulrich Bez then you’ll probably never drive it. Don’t get your hopes up.But it’s still important, because it shows us that beautiful auto design is still possible in the modern age. Radically styled down to every inch, the CC100 has a dynamic...

Add to myYahoo!I recently wrote an article entitled ?Lincoln Can and Will Come Back,? in which I insisted that Lincoln would, someday soon, rise from the ashes and return to its rightful place as a top luxury brand for people who can?t afford an Infiniti. Many of you thought I was crazy, largely because Lincoln?s lineup consists [...]

Add to myYahoo!TTAC finally found the holy grail of the auto-blogosphere: We busted a stringent embargo that won?t lift for more than two weeks. We did that on cars that are unobtainable for most. We blew the tarps not off one, but two makes. We didn?t find a dealer brochure, we caught the cars while they were [...]

Add to myYahoo!As the 1-Series prepares to move to a front-drive platform, BMW is also working on something to keep rear-drive fans happy. The 2-Series will replace what we all know as the 1-Series, and the model you see here is the M235i, which will use the familiar twin-turbo 3.0L Inline six. According to Car and [...]

Add to myYahoo!Youth is apparently wasted on the young, but there are some days where I do feel old. Flat feet and many attempts at athletic endeavors have left me with the knees of someone twice my age, while genetics has caused my hairline to retreat like Philippe Pétain in the face of the German onslaught. I would [...]

Add to myYahoo!Inside EVs asks, "Will Electric Vehicles Drive Mechanics Out Of Business?", after an article in The Street.
The answer is yes, mass electrification will eventually put some mechanics out of business.
The low-skill places like quick-lube joints will be really hurt. Independent ASE certified shops, and ASE certified chains like Midas will see a slow down, as brake changes will be much less often and exhaust systems will never need work. However, BEVs will still require cooling system repairs, air conditioning work, and suspension fixes.
Tire shops that specialize in tires and suspensions will do fine.
I expect that some independents and many large chains will invest in specialized tools and training, to be able to do BEV specific jobs like battery pack diagnosis/replacements, battery cooling system repairs.
I also expect that in time, a healthy market will develop in after-market high voltage batteries, where you will be able to buy a rebuilt battery pack for a competitive price from a 3rd party supplier, much like you can buy replacement 12v batteries today.
It may be very different, actually, than you expect, because we don't know which alternative fuel technology will win out. If consumers balk at the high cost of BEVs, and we don't have the elusive super-battery breakthrough, then we may see a long term shift to other energy storage forms. For example, we may have a large number of engines running on CNG in the future, as fracking accelerates and the prices continue to drop.
Since CNG engines are still combustion based, that path would have a busy future for today's mechanics.
