BEAT COMES BACK. Hiroyuki Yoshino, Honda Motor Co. executive vp, said the two-seat Honda Beat will go back into production next month. Beat production was halted last year because of slow sales. nt Sales peaked at 4949 u i s for September 1991, but quickly fell to about 500 a month.

exclusive property of Ford Motor Co. A federal judge granted Carroll Shelby's request for summary judgment and released the Cobra name into public domain. Shelby owned the name in the early '60s but sold it to Ford in '64. Ford may seek a rehearing on the issue. The judge's ruling said Ford had "abandoned" the name since there were at least two consecutive years when the company didn't use it. The summary judgment cited the period of
1982-84 as an example.
CAFE UP. The Federal Government raised 1995 light truck fuel economy
standards by a tenth, to 20.6 mpg. In 1994, trucks will be required to get 20.5 mpg. Automilkers had expected the '95 standard to be 21.0 mpg.
PRICES RISE. Ford is raising the
'94 Continental's sticker 1.5 percent, or $505. It will start at $33,850 when it debuts May 6 (see "Headliner").
