    DETROIT, Sept. 10 It's the biggest auto show on Earth --
and it certainly feels that way when you're walking the nearly mile-long
length of the Frankfurt Motor Show.  But don't wear out your own shoe leather,
simply turn to TheCarConnection.com , which takes Germany by storm this week,
starting off with two previews of the Frankfurt show's most important
introduction.  Then point your browser back to TCC all week for continuing,
daily coverage of the Motor Show press previews.
    They've been dancing together for more than a quarter century, but
finally, it seems, Chrysler and Mitsubishi are building a serious
relationship.  TheCarConnection has the inside story on the way the two
automakers are working together to stretch their budgets and expand their
product portfolios.
    There's no more room for excuses.  That's the word from Jim Queen, General
Motors' new engineering chief.  What's that mean for the future?  Check out
TCC's insightful interview.  Then get the inside story on the new Nissan.  See
what could be coming off the brand-new Altima platform, and how the automaker
finally hopes to turn its Infiniti division into a serious luxury player.  And
in other business news, TCC takes a close look at Bernd Pischetsrieder, the
new head of Volkswagen.
    Speaking of VW, TheCarConnection has some spy shots you'll likely want to
see: the upcoming Colorado crossover vehicle, developed in a joint venture
with Porsche.
    It's hot, hot, hot, and TCC scorches some tires behind the wheel of the
new Subaru WRX.  Other reviews include the 2002 Lexus IS300 SportCross, the VW
Jetta wagon, and Honda's second-generation CR-V.
    Ever been snagged by a red light camera?  A California judge is calling

concern among safety advocates worried about the increase in red light
runners.
