Your Traffic Headaches Could Win You Big. Check Out the Special Post-Holiday Issue of TheCarConnection.com for Our Latest Contest, And This Week's Auto News, Reviews -- and BMW Spy Shots!

    DETROIT, July 5 Forget the Independence Day celebration,
there are plenty of fireworks going off at TheCarConnection.com in our post-
holiday edition!
    First, tell us your favorite story for beating or simply coping with
traffic and you could win an Aiwa portable CD player!  But remember,
TheCarConnection's Best Traffic Stories content ends Friday, July 7, so don't
wait to enter.
    Then check out our continuing coverage of merger mania, and get the
behind-the-scenes story on the battle for Daewoo -- which is far from over,
according to TCC's correspondents.
    Was it the biggest merger in industrial history, or a not-so-secret German
takeover of an American icon?  We've got an inside look at the DaimlerChrysler
deal with a special excerpt from this Summer's hot book, "Taken for a Ride:
How Daimler-Benz Drove Off with Chrysler."  Then catch our close-up profile of
Jim Holden, the man now in charge at Chrysler.  And don't miss our
"Soundbytes" report -- hear what the top execs at General Motors have to say
about their future plans and products -- in their own words.
    It's not just your normal hill climb.  Pike's Peak is a tall order that
only the best can master-and we'll give you a close look at how GM and Toyota
are hoping to master this mountain.
    The Pontiac Aztek is certainly a head-turner.  But is it worth taking a
second look?  Check out TheCarConnection review of the quirky Aztek's strange
new world.  We've also got seat time for you in the cute Kia Sportage, as
well as that classic off-roader, the Jeep Cherokee, the new Hyundai Santa Fe,
Chevy's friendly Tracker and Mitsubishi's edgy, 2000 Galant.
    Finally, for you Bimmer fans (and that covers most of us), check out this
week's spy shots.  We've got the next-generation BMW M3 Caught in the Web!
