It was rumoured that Geely will finish buying Volvo from Ford by February 2010. And Mercedes GP CEO Nick Fry said he wanted Schumacher to drive for them next year.

Peugeot doubled the value of their last decent hot hatch, the 306 GTI-6, by announcing they’ll never make a GTI again. And Ariel ‘did a Lexus’ by pricing their new Atom V8 at £120k for Spring 2010.
