Honda unveils small 'mobility' device
Look out, Segway. Honda recently unveiled a new "personal mobility" device that looks like a unicycle, but all you need to do to zip around on it -- sideways as well as forward and back -- is lean your weight into the direction you want to go. The U3-X was designed to be small and unobtrusive enough to mingle with pedestrians, Honda says. The machine is still "a proposal," and the company says it has no sales plans, pricing or firm ideas on where or how it will be used.

GM may extend car return program
General Motors may extend its money-back guarantee program after the promotion wraps up in November, according to Bob Lutz, the company's vice chairman. He says the program is succeeding in its main goal: getting on-the-fence car shoppers to consider buying a GM product. The program allows buyers of Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick or GMC to return their vehicle for a refund between day 31 and day 60 of ownership.
