DETROIT, July 21 -- It's not quite the storybook tale of spinning straw into gold, but Ford has found a way to transform fumes into fuel. TheCarConnection.com has the inside story in this week's issue.

Then get a glimpse of tomorrow's cars today -- starting with the game- changing 2005 Grand Cherokee. The new 5-Series is another revolution-in-the- making, and TCC's spies capture the 500-horsepower Bimmer M5. The '05 Jaguar S-Type R is snooty in the right way.

How old is too old to drive? A tragedy in Santa Monica makes that question more than academic.

There's plenty of hot, hard news this week, including word that Big Three earnings have taken a tumble. That's prompting talk of big job cuts at Ford, and the industry's economic realities will mean tough negotiations as contract talks open with the United Autoworkers Union.

Joe Eberhardt's tough challenges include making a decision about the future of diva and Chrysler spokes-celeb Celine Dion.
