From one of the most widely-recognizable minivans being taken off the road to an impressive milestone being reached, there was big news for some of the most popular auto manufacturers in the world this week.<\/p>\n

• The Chevrolet<\/a> Malibu has long been among the most widely-driven cars in the United States, and now it is official. This week the car became the auto industry's longest-running model with an impressive 35-year run. In fact, USA Today reports that there have been 8.5 million Malibus inside the United States since it debuted in 1964, and the car has won more than 40 awards including the 2008 North American Car of the Year.<\/p>\n

• It is hard to drive down the highway without seeing a slew of Dodge<\/a> Grand Caravans, but that time may soon be over. Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler<\/a> Group plans to end construction of the popular minivan and will instead release just on, the Chrysler Town and Country. The decision stems largely from a desire to not release two almost-identical cars. The company also is going to end production of the Dodge Avenger sedan.<\/p>\n

"We cannot have the same type of vehicle in the showroom, because the consumer not stupid," Chrylser CEO Sergio Marchionne told the website.<\/p>\n

• Often known for its reliable sedans, Hyundai<\/a> surprised some in the industry when it paired with Magnuson Products, Rhys Millen Racing, Harman International and Torvec Inc. to develop a 450 horsepower version of its Genesis Coupe. Hyundai hopes to unveil the powerful special edition Genesis at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, which is held between November 1 and 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
