Abstract
This paper explains that the reputation of luxury and powerful performance of European automobiles has been built on automobiles, such as BMW and Mercedes; whereas, the reputation of reliability and satisfaction of the Japanese automobiles has been built on automobiles such as Toyota, Nissan, and Honda. The author points out that, in the American market, the European automobiles have been unfavorably compared to the Japanese automobiles in terms of quantity, but the buyers of European automobiles are generally more loyal to their usual brand of vehicle. The paper relates that the Honda, which is a top seller in the United States, is not a luxury automobile of the ranks of BMW, Jaguar, or Lexus, but it is a well-made, reliable vehicle.

Abstract
This paper considers how automobiles indicate the class of someone in society, and concludes that automobiles are not always a good gauge of social class.
From the Paper
"For most Americans automobiles are the second most costly expense of their lives, with housing being the first. Many factors go into the purchase of a car-the style, price, fuel efficiency features, as well as the perception of how others will view the person who owns a particular vehicle. Automobile manufacturers invest considerable sums trying to establish certain images for particular cars and their efforts can be handsomely rewarded. Although all automobiles serve the same purpose-to transport people and goods from one place..."

This paper presents a detailed examination of automobiles in the film industry, and how they are impacted by mass media. More specifically, this paper analyzes how mass media influences the use of automobiles and popular culture surrounding their use. The writer explores several books and movies in support of the analysis presented.
From the Paper
"Since the inception of the automobile, significant importance has been placed on its use and look. Young men are conditioned to believe that attracting women is based in part on having the right type of car. Young women are raised to think if a man has a nice car he is a worthwhile pursuit. In addition, media and society have conditioned Americans to place certain values on certain cars. If it's a sedan or a station wagon the owner must be old or boring. If it is sporty or a particular type of car the assumption is made that the owner is modern in thought and action. Autos have importance in all walks of life, including entertainment."

Abstract
Despite its many advantages, the automobile has a darker side. Pollution and traffic congestion are concerns, but the greatest problem associated with automobiles is their safety, or lack thereof. This paper shows that car accidents are one of the leading killers in the United States each year, accounting for about 40,000 deaths in the year 2001 alone. The paper argues that lawmakers are neglecting one of the main issues pertaining to road safety, teenage driving. It offers solutions to the problem of the high rate of casualties among teenage drivers and discusses opponents to the laws that restrict teenage driving.
From the Paper
"In summarizing the main reasons behind the increased accidents of teenagers, it can be inferred that a lack of experience is the primary culprit. Therefore, in order to properly address this issue, lawmakers need to find ways to legally require more training and road experience before licensing teenagers. My proposal is that the federal government pass a law (similar in scope to the one passed pertaining to blood alcohol) requiring all drivers to be a minimum age of 18. As the law stands today, there is no federal mandate regarding licensing age minimums. In fact, several states only require individuals to reach the age of 15 to obtain a driver?s license (DriveHomeSafe website)."

"Electric Automobiles
At the turn of the century, most U.S. automobiles were electric (McCarty, 1988, p. 160). With improved roads spanning greater distances, however, the range and performance capabilities of the internal combustion engine made the electric vehicles obsolete (McCarty, 1988, p. 160). Now, as the century comes to a close, conditions spawned by the internal combustion engine's widespread use..such as air pollution and the nation's dependence on foreign oil..are forcing an assessment of alternative technologies (McCarty, 1988, p. 160).
In fact, recent legislation passed in California amounts to a directive for the production of electric cars (Stix, 1992, p. 126). As of 1990, the state requires that 2 percent of all new cars sold in 1998 be emission.free (Achille's Axle, 1992, p...."

Although methods to halt the automobile pollution problem should have already been implemented, the world still has time to switch from fossil fuel engines to cleaner sources of energy."

Pros and Cons of Outsourcing to China
Recommendations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is also a focus in the current external environment on the ability of professionals and managers in the American automobile industry to be mobile in terms of their training opportunities as opposed to those professionals who prefer retraining to mobility. Training can be related to auto industry factors of qualified job applicants and outsourcing as something that retraining programs can help to alleviate in terms of
domestic impact, but retraining is a quite different paradigm to examine. This is because retraining implies that the automobile industry manager or employee, due to organizational restructuring and/or outsourcing, is being given the opportunity by the business to learn more skills that make them effective in the new structure that may have caused the company to make outsourcing changes. This retraining opportunity shows a different reflection, however, in terms of auto workers who are relatively young and employees and managers who are in the baby boom generation or older."

From the Paper
"Alcohol can be blended with gasoline for use as transportation fuel and may be produced from a wide variety of organic feedstock (Alcohol pp). The most common alcohol fuels are methanol, which can be produced from coal, natural gas, wood and organic waste, and ethanol, which is usually made from agricultural plants containing sugar (Alcohol pp). Twelve percent of the nation's motor fuel is blended with ethanol (Alcohol pp). "Producers can lock in prices on the futures market, using their known production cost figures, rather than relying on the volatile spot market" (Alcohol pp). In 1998, the federal government extended federal ethanol fuel excise tax incentives through the year 2007, meaning that the fuel blender can take either an income tax credit of 54 cents per gallon of ethanol used, or an exemption from the excise tax of 5.4 cents per gallon of 10 percent blended fuel (Alcohol pp).

From the Paper
"Few topics are as near and dear to the hearts of Americans as their modes of transportation. No product is as fondly remembered from one?s adolescence, perhaps, as is one?s first automobile. Popular cultural mythology often casts the role of ?My First Automobile? as a beat-up, second hand old Dodge. But the current volume of driving miles traveled by most young Americans who do not live in cities with adequate public transportation systems demands, if at all possible, the safety and reliability of a new car. In a system of roads littered with SUVs, one does not want to be in a car that is overly fragile if hit nor one that is prone to breakdowns. Few college students can afford to have a mechanic on speed dial, as is supposedly typical of the average Mercedes owner. However, this combination of safety and reliability must come at an affordable price."

Cell Phones and Automobiles, 2004.
A debate on whether cell phones should be used while driving.
1,291 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of cell phone use while driving and, specifically, discusses the increased use of cell phones in the United States and the dangers of driving while talking on one. It shows how, although using cell phones in public can be annoying and downright rude, driving while talking on a cell phone can be deadly and how driver inattention is one of the main causes of accidents on the road today.
From the Paper
"The Utah psychologists had conducted earlier studies which showed that drivers missed traffic signals while they were talking on the phone, whether the phone was hands-free or not. They also discovered that other types of driver distraction were not nearly as dangerous as the use of cell phones. "The earlier study also found there was no impairment of drivers who either conversed with a passenger or who listened to the radio or to books on tape" (Blind). Drivers will always be distracted, but anything that can be done to keep drivers from becoming overly distracted is not only important, but also imperative."

From the Paper
"Introduction
The air pollution of Southern California is nearly legendary. This is a region that has "smog alerts," and where the connection between air pollution and automobile usage is considered high and direct. If Southern Californians would drive less, analysts assume that air pollution in the region would lessen. To this end, a number of different programs have been undertaken to encourage Southern Californians to reduce their reliance on automobiles, with a particular emphasis placed on car pooling and telecommuting. This research examines research conducted on both of these issues, and considers what additional work might need to be done in order to understand the situation better.
