  Inside: This Week in Autos
Automakers have made tremendous strides in terms of safety. Air bags, electronic stability, crumple zones and ABS brakes all ensure that passengers are much safer now than at any time since the introduction of the horseless carriage. But we could still do better. As this week's safety rankings for nine midsize SUVs from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety prove, there's still a ways to go yet before all cars can enjoy the highest standard of safety. In fact, as Jim Henry reported this week only one car--the 2009 Nissan Murano--got a perfect score while the others left something to be desired. True, many drivers care about things like fuel economy and horsepower, but these don't mean much if your car gets T-boned. Elsewhere this week we looked at the top dogs and underdogs of the automotive world, with some surprising results, ogled two Koeniggsegg supercars that will debuted at Geneva and test drove the new and improved 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML550. Enjoy.

General Motors just about paved the way for Fritz Henderson, its newly-minted president and chief operating officer, to eventually take over the corner office from Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner. The company promoted Henderson on March 3 after giving the finance whiz and rapid-fire talker a series of high-level promotions since 1997. Henderson is 49 and occupies a seat that GM has kept open since Wagoner was anointed CEO back in 2000. closequote
