" Ford Prices New F-150 Pickup   Ford says that the price for its completely redesigned 2004 truck lineup will start at $19,125 \u2014 the same as the 2003 model \u2014 but it will top out at $35,570, which is $435 more than the 2003&amp;#039;s highest price of $34,135. And that doesn&amp;#039;t include a destination and delivery charges of $795.   also said that the volume model of the 2004 F-150 lineup, an XLT SuperCab 4x2 Styleside with a 6 1/2-foot box, 4.6-liter V-8 engine and automatic transmission, will carry a base MSRP of $27,020, plus destination and delivery charges of $795.   In addition to the new F-150, Ford will continue producing the prior generation truck and will call it the F-150 &amp;quot;Heritage.&amp;quot;   Honda to Increase U.S. Capacity   Although Honda has no plans now to add plants in North America in the next several years it intends to increase production at its Alabama plant to 300,000 vehicles a year from 150,000 vehicles, The Associated Press reported, citing Honda&amp;#039;s new president, Takeo Fukui.   Fukui also said that Honda is going to focus on improving quality rather than quantity for its future models. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not setting sales targets,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;All that may be convenient for the business but it&amp;#039;s totally irrelevant to the customer.&amp;quot;   That&amp;#039;s a safe enough vision seeing as , in the fiscal year ended March 31, posted the highest profit in its history, 427 billion yen, the equivalent of $3.6 billion and an 18 percent increase from the previous year. Honda also sold 2.89 million vehicles worldwide for the fiscal year, up 8 percent from the previous year. The only blot on Honda&amp;#039;s copybook is domestic sales, which were down 3.3 percent to 849,000 vehicles as opposed to an 11 percent increase in North America to 1.5 million vehicles.   Last Chance for Beetle Buffs   says it has launched a &amp;quot;special collector&amp;#039;s edition&amp;quot; of its original Beetle to mark the end of production for the iconic car, the Dow Jones Newswires reported.   Three thousand of the final Bugs will be built in Volkswagen&amp;#039;s plant in central Mexico before the production line finally shuts down on July 30.   These &amp;quot;special edition&amp;quot; Beetle will be exclusively sold to Mexican consumers for a little over $8,000 each, the story said.   Volkswagen sold over 21 million Beetles worldwide in the car&amp;#039;s 70-year history. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
