Avis Car Rental Company Purchases Zipcar
Avis is leaping into the car-sharing service business by buying Zipcar for $491.2 million, aiming to capture a new type of customer and technology that will vastly expand its car rental options.
Car sharing has become a popular alternative to traditional rentals in metropolitan areas and on college campuses, allowing members to get a vehicle for an hour or two for short trips instead of renting a car for a day or using mass transit. The segment has been growing while traditional car rentals have struggled in the current slow-growth economy.
Zipcar, which was founded in 2000, has more than 760,000 members, triple what it had in 2008. It went public in 2011 and 2012 was expected to be its first-ever profitable year. The acquisition means Avis will now be able to reach younger, more tech-savvy consumers that prefer sharing services. |

Toyota Safety recalls have plagued Toyota is recent years.

In October, the company recalled 7.43 million vehicles for faulty power-window switches that can cause fires. Currently Toyota is recalling 150,000 Tacoma midsize pickups because the spare tires can fall from beneath the trucks. The plates holding the spare tire were not treated properly against corrosion and can rust over time.
Toyota is trying to fix its reputation after a series of massive recalls of 14 million vehicles over the last several years, mostly in the US for unintended acceleration involving faulty floor mats, braking or gas pedals. Toyota executives have acknowledged the escalating recalls were partly caused by the company's overly ambitious growth goals.
Hyundai-Kia America is recalling 13,500 2012 Hyundai Veloster vehicles assembled between Nov. 1, 2011 and April 17, 2012 and equipped with panoramic sunroofs. Certain of these roofs my break while the car is in motion.

When the 2012 Civic was introduced, it was met with a collective yawn from many reviewers. Honda stepped up to the plate. Instead of waiting the traditional three years before giving the Civic a mid-cycle refresh, Honda accelerated the development of the planned 2015 overhaul, getting the job done in just 18 months and the car into showrooms for the 2013 model year. Honda also updated the front and rear ends, giving them a more upscale look inspired by the all new 2013 Accord.
