It's quirky, looks cool, and may be available sometime in 2010. Here are the concept pictures of the new Hyundai HED-5.

If the HED-5 makes it to production in 2010, expect a 2.2l Diesel engine. However, for power mongers, look for a twin turbo version some time in 2011.

General Motors Closes Plant Due To Strike

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

In another sad display of cooperation, that is the domestic auto manufacturer, GM will be stopping production at it's Wentzville, MO plant. The strike in question is between the UAW and American Axle and Manufacturing, Inc. Sadly this is the 11th plant to halt production due to this specific strike.

The Wentzville plant produces the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, but not right now. Because of the strike over 1,800 hourly employees and more than 170 salaried employees will be without work. Overall the strike has adversely effected more than 21,000  General Motor employees.

No contract talks have taken place since Feb. 25 when the two sides were reportedly far apart on issues such as buyouts and wages.
