  Inside: This Week in Autos
It's got to be hard to be a flack for the U.S. car companies these days. Consumers and commentators get tired of the same old spin year after year, listening to how Detroit's about to turn a corner, how they have hot new models that will snatch victory away from the imports, blah, blah, blah. After a while your eyes begin to glaze over. Except it is possible that 2008 might be different. True, 2007 was a dog of a year from a sales perspective. But there were several significant changes?most important of all, the new contracts with the UAW that will dramatically reduce the carmakers' annual labor costs—that could make the flacks' messages sound less hollow. Another reason for cautious optimism, as Jim Henry reports, stems from some significant improvement in new models out of Detroit. Among the cars we are looking forward to driving this year are the reborn Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Ford Mustang Bullitt. This week we also looked at Tata's new $2,500 car and admired the 2009 Corvette ZR1, which will be GM's fastest production car ever. Enjoy.
