Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Nine for 2009: Predicting the Year Ahead

Posted January 12, 2009 9:45 AM by dstrohl

This is probably the worst time to try to predict the upcoming year for cars since 1929. But thanks to our vast hubris experience, we're confident that we can see through the mists of time, to uncover the truth. Actually, no one else on staff would touch this idea with a 10-foot driveshaft, so address all your hate mail to me. I'll start with the big one.

1. Detroit as we know it will survive.

2. A major American nameplate will disappear.

3. The collector-car market will start to pick up in late spring.

11. US car makers will recognise a gap in the market and begin development on a 6 tonne, 14 litre SUV, that runs on dolphin oil. Although initially surprised at the lack of customers they quickly ask the US taxpayer for just one more chance.
