Die Show in L.A. kann dem neuen Beetle Cabrio keiner stehlen: Er ist sofort Liebling der Besucher. Optisch eine Hommage an seine Vorgänger, die auf dem US-Markt für Furore sorgten, technisch einer auf dem neuesten Stand. Auch Porsche nutzt die Bühne im Sonnenstaat Kalifornien für die Weltpremiere seines Cayman, denn hier sind stylishe Kraftpakete aus Zuffenhausen besonders gefragt. Auf Diesel-Kurs ist Audi und bedient damit die Nachfrage von Premiumkunden nach sauberen Selbstzündern. Bentley macht Motorsportfreunden mit seinem Continental GT3 schon mal Appetit auf mehr. SUVs sind bei Amerikaner noch immer stark nachgefragt; entsprechend die Toyota-Offerte mit dem neuen RAV4. Bei BMW stand die Submarke i im Mittelpunkt mit Studien für die Zukunft, und Mercedes lockt die Blicke mit einem Angebot der besonderen Art: G-like zeigt eine Studie, wie die Polizei künftig auf Verbrecherjagd gehen könnte.

Hiring in professional fields is likely to continue rising in the second quarter but at a slower pace than forecast for the first quarter, a new Robert Half survey shows.

The biggest trend in the survey is the increase in the number of respondents who anticipate no change in hiring activity: 89 percent versus 78 percent last quarter.
