GM Adds Hybrids, Volvo Cuts Jobs Over Loss

Saturday's wire splits between a quarter that just closed and a model year still a year out. The Detroit News tallies the third quarter's sales winners and losers, while Edmunds previews full-size trucks that will not reach lots until the following year. GM confirms new hybrid models and fresh Michigan money, CBT News reports, and Cadillac opens orders on a two hundred thirty nine thousand dollar Escalade. Volvo cuts twenty five hundred jobs after a quarter in the red, and Congress's new kill-switch law gets a plain-English breakdown. Chery, Leapmotor and Foxconn all move on overseas production, Motor Trader has new car demand holding steady, and a Bain survey weighs in on dealer value. One price on that list gets repeated back word for word on the floor this morning.
